  • Publication number: 20230391323
    Abstract: An autonomous vehicle (AV) is described herein. The AV is configured to identify an occluded region where a portion of a field of view of a sensor is occluded by an object. The AV is further configured to hypothesize that an object exists in the occluded region and is moving in the occluded region. The AV is still further configured to perform a driving maneuver based upon the hypothesized object existing in the occluded region.

  • Publication number: 20210304608
    Abstract: To visualize planned behavior of an autonomous vehicle (AV) traveling along a roadway, a user interface engine receives data describing a planned pathway of the AV along the roadway and object data describing an object having a predicted pathway crossing the planned pathway of the AV at a cross point. The user interface engine classifies the object either an asserting object or a yielding object based on a prediction of whether the object reaches the cross point before the AV or after the AV. The user interface engine generates an image that includes the planned pathway of the AV and the object in the environment of the AV. The image of the object indicates whether the object is classified as an asserting object or a yielding object.

  • Patent number: 10339032
    Abstract: Technologies are disclosed for providing developers with rule output indicating that issues are or may be present in the code they are developing. Such rule output can include or be accompanied by guidelines and/or best practices structured to aid developers in becoming aware of and resolving the issues. In one example, this involves identifying the issues, making available a mechanism of further investigating the issues, and providing best practices and/or recommended solutions for the issues. Finally, the technologies disclosed may automate application of the recommended solutions. The notifications and accompanying guidance/automation and the like can be provided at design-time, compile-time, and/or run-time with the notifications and accompanying guidance/automation integrated into editors, compilers, debuggers, and other development environment tools providing true real-time and in situ development experience.
