  • Publication number: 20170243370
    Abstract: A system for pothole detection comprises an input interface configured to receive sensor data and a pothole detector configured to determine a pothole based at least in part on the sensor data using a model, wherein the model is used to classify sensor data; and store pothole data associated with the pothole, wherein the pothole data comprises a pothole video.

  • Patent number: 9650051
    Abstract: A system for autonomous driving comparison and evaluation comprises an input interface and a processor. The input interface is configured to receive trip information generated during a driver controlled trip and receive information from an autonomous driving system related to actions that the autonomous driving system would have taken had it been in control during the trip. The processor is configured to compare a trip factor of the driver controlled trip with a simulated trip factor that would have occurred had the autonomous driving system been in control.

  • Publication number: 20170066374
    Abstract: A system for determining driver errors includes an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive a safety warning from a safety warning system. The processor is configured to determine an appropriate driver response based at least in part on the safety warning; determine a driver response; determine whether the driver response comprises the appropriate driver response; and in the event the driver response does not comprise the appropriate driver response, indicating a driver error.

  • Publication number: 20170061222
    Abstract: A system for driver risk determination using machine vision includes an interface and one or more processors. The interface is to receive one or more video data streams. The one or more processors is/are to determine, whether a driving behavior risk type appears in one of the one or more video data streams; and in the event that the driving behavior risk type appears in the one of the one or more video data streams, indicate the driver behavior risk type.

  • Patent number: 9573601
    Abstract: A system for automatic engagement of a driver assistance system comprises an input interface, a processor, and an output interface. The input interface is configured to receive data associated with one or more events. The processor is configured to evaluate the risk associated with the data and to determine that the risk indicates a state change in a driver assistance system is appropriate. The output interface is configured to provide an indication that the state change in the driver assistance system is appropriate.
