Abstract: Embodiments of an autonomous vehicle are disclosed. In some embodiments, the autonomous vehicle includes a sensor array that can produce sensor data. The autonomous vehicle further includes a transceiver that can communicate with and receive data from at least a base station. Further, the autonomous vehicle includes a controller communicatively coupled with the sensor array and the transceiver. The controller includes code that receives a navigation plan data via the transceiver and navigates the autonomous vehicle along a navigation path specified in the navigation plan in such a manner as to avoid an interaction with one or more actual obstacles, in and around the navigation path, detected based at least in part on the sensor data.

Abstract: A vehicle including a chassis, a drive system carrying the chassis, and a vision system carried by the chassis. The vision system having a stereo visible light camera producing a colorized 3D point cloud and a stereo long wave infrared camera producing 3D data. The vision system being configured to fuse the 3D data with the 3D point cloud thereby producing an enhanced 3D point cloud.
