Patent number: 12703394Abstract: Techniques for requesting remote assistance from a vehicle are discussed. The techniques include receiving, from a remote computing device, coordinates of a footprint in which the vehicle is capable of stopping. The techniques further include receiving, from the remote computing device, a target orientation associated with the footprint. The techniques may determine a path to the footprint based to achieve target orientation associated with the footprint.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2021Date of Patent: August 11, 2026Assignee: Zoox, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Funke, Ravi Gogna, Caili Li, Steven Cheng Qian, Jacob Patrick Thalman, Ruikun Yu

Publication number: 20250050908Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems and methods for detecting road blockages and generating alternative routes. In some cases, a system detects, based at least in part on sensor data associated with an autonomous vehicle, a portion of an environment that impedes a planned path of the autonomous vehicle. The system determines a semantic classification associated with the portion of the environment and transmits a re-routing request comprising the semantic classification to one or more remote computing devices. The system receives an instruction associated with navigating the autonomous vehicle around the portion of the environment from the remote computing devices, where the instruction includes an alternative route determined from a plurality of alternative routes. The system further controls the autonomous vehicle to navigate around the portion of the environment based at least in part on the instruction.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2024Publication date: February 13, 2025Applicant: Zoox, Inc.Inventors: Lakshay Garg, Ravi Gogna, Joona Markus Petteri Kiiski, Caili Li

Patent number: 12065168Abstract: Techniques for providing remote assistance to a vehicle are discussed. The techniques include receiving, from a vehicle, an indication of an event and displaying, on a display and to a user, a portion of an environment including the vehicle. The techniques further determine a valid region in the portion of the environment associated with a location at which the vehicle is capable of navigating. The techniques also display, on the display a footprint of the vehicle, where the footprint is associated with a position and orientation. The techniques further include transmitting the position and orientation of the footprint to the vehicle, which causes the vehicle to traverse in the environment to the position and orientation.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2021Date of Patent: August 20, 2024Assignee: Zoox, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Funke, Ravi Gogna, Caili Li, Steven Cheng Qian, Jacob Patrick Thalman, Ruikun Yu
