Patent number: 11914642Abstract: The present technology can detect potential labeling conflicts made during different labeling tasks when those tasks are checked in to ensure that a map database is free from conflicts that might interrupt publishing of a map. The present technology can determine whether a first labeled version of map portion is based on a most recent version for the map portion that is stored in the map database, and when it is determined that it is not, and there is an intervening version, the present technology can identify differences between the intervening version of the map portion and the first version of the map portion and identify differences between the second version of the map portion and the first version of the map portion. Based on the identified differences, the present technology can determine whether any of those differences are conflicting.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2019Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: GM Cruise Holdings LLCInventors: Rohan Agrawal, Andra-Maria Bogildea, Chen Xie, Brian Donohue, Michael Rusignola, Christopher Setian

Patent number: 11454966Abstract: Systems and methods provide for routing an autonomous vehicles based on an assessment of its limitations. The autonomous vehicle can avoid problematic routes by applying a set of rules to a map, where the set of rules are associated with a feature that causes a failure of the autonomous vehicle due to an autonomous vehicle limitation. Based on the application of the set of rules, a portion of a route on the map that is associated with the feature can be identified, and an identifier can be applied to the identified portion of the route associated with the feature on a routing map. The portion of the route can be omitted from a routable graph applied to the routing map, such that the route for the autonomous vehicle is generated in accordance with the routable graph.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2019Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignee: GM Cruise Holdings LLCInventors: Michael Rusignola, Brian Donohue, Lucio Rech, Stephen Worlow, Daniel Blick, Varun Bharadwaj

Patent number: 11429097Abstract: Systems and methods provide for routing autonomous vehicles by simulating an autonomous vehicle traversing a route on a map representing a physical area. A router flag can be generated at a specific location on the map. A router flag rule that defines a factor that caused a failure of the autonomous vehicle can then be created at the location, and the autonomous vehicle can be simulated traversing the to identify at least one other area on the map where the autonomous vehicle is likely to fail. An identifier can be applied to the other area on the map where the autonomous vehicle is likely to fail according to the router flag rule. The other area with the applied identifier can be omitted from a routable graph applied to the routing map, such that the route for the autonomous vehicle is generated in accordance with the routable graph.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2019Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: GM Cruise Holdings LLCInventors: Michael Rusignola, Brian Donohue, Lucio Rech, Stephen Worlow, Daniel Blick, Varun Bharadwaj

Publication number: 20220026220Abstract: The present technology provides a system that can update aspects of an authoritative map portion stored on an autonomous vehicle using low-resolution data from the at least one sensor of the autonomous vehicle, and therefore avoids the need for dispatching the special purpose mapping vehicle for these updates. The captured low-resolution data can be compared with the high-resolution map portion to determine that the sensor data reflects a feature in a way that is inconsistent with how that feature is represented in the authoritative map portion. The sensor data can then be used to relabel the authoritative map portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2021Publication date: January 27, 2022Inventors: Michael Rusignola, Brian Donohue, Alexander Sennikov, Irfan Lone, Steve Xie, Juan Fasola
