  • Patent number: 12775704
    Abstract: Various embodiments include methods for processing an image from an apparatus camera to recognize potentially malicious attacks on the camera. Various embodiments may include processing an image received from a camera of the apparatus using a plurality of different trained image processing models or vision pipelines to obtain a plurality of different image processing outputs, and performing a plurality of consistency checks on the plurality of different image processing outputs. Such consistency checks compare two or more selected outputs of the plurality of different outputs to detect inconsistencies that may be associated with or due to an attack on the camera. Indications of an attack on a camera may be reported to and considered by an autonomous driving system of the apparatus or otherwise addressed in one or more mitigation actions.

  • Publication number: 20260330971
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for securely managing maneuver identifications (IDs) for vehicle-based communications. For example, a method may include transmitting a message associated with a potential maneuver by the vehicle, determining a maneuver identification (ID) for the potential maneuver based on the message, and transmitting a first maneuver message (including the maneuver ID) for the potential maneuver. In another example, a method may include receiving a first maneuver message including a maneuver ID, determining that the first maneuver ID is a new maneuver ID, and determining, based on the first maneuver ID being a new maneuver ID, whether the first maneuver ID matches a second maneuver ID determined based on a previously-received message. In another example, a method may include receiving maneuver messages that include a same maneuver identification (ID) and one or more source IDs and determining whether the source ID(s) of the maneuver messages match.

    Abstract: A system is provided for generating an agentic system. The system receives a request including natural language text input from an interaction interface, generates an agent design prompt including an agent task description, agent output instructions, and scored agents based on the request, and inputs the agent design prompt into an agent design generator to generate one or more agents. A tool design prompt is generated to include the one or more generated agents, a tool task description, tool output instructions, and scored tools. The tool design prompt is then inputted into a tool generator to generate one or more tools, and the system generates and outputs the agentic system including the one or more generated agents and the one or more generated tools.

  • Publication number: 20260300001
    Abstract: This document relates to facilitating interactions between a user and multiple agents, such as agents that provide different generative machine learning capabilities. In certain disclosed implementations, user input is received and two or more agents are selected to perform a particular task for the user. Then, interactions with the agents are coordinated on behalf of the user based on agent definitions of the selected agents. A result of the particular task is received and provided to the user. For instance, the user input can be received via a chat interface that allows the user to conduct a single chat session that involves the particular task being performed by multiple agents, thus giving the user the appearance of interacting with a single agent.

  • Patent number: 12750659
    Abstract: Embodiments include methods performed by a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) system for protecting proprietary data within misbehavior reports. The method includes receiving a misbehavior report from a V2X system participant, obtaining sensor data from the received misbehavior report indicating that a misbehavior condition has occurred, determining whether the sensor data indicating that a misbehavior condition has occurred includes encrypted proprietary information. In response to determining that the sensor data includes encrypted proprietary information, the V2X system identifies an entity that owns the encrypted proprietary information, transmits the misbehavior report including the encrypted proprietary information to the entity that owns the encrypted proprietary information, and receives a confirmation report from the entity that owns the encrypted proprietary information indicating whether the misbehavior report is accurate.

  • Publication number: 20260285344
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for autonomous driving. In an example method, sensor data associated with an external environment of a vehicle is obtained. A set of prompts for input to a machine learning model trained to assist with autonomous driving for the vehicle is selected via a manager, based at least in part on the sensor data. A set of output tokens corresponding to the set of prompts is generated using the trained machine learning model and the set of prompts. The set of output tokens is associated with at least one of (i) one or more adversarial objects in the environment or (ii) one or more safety events in the environment. Information associated with the set of output tokens is output via the manager for a user of the vehicle.
