  • Publication number: 20260021805
    Abstract: Systems and methods for enhancing safety during motorcycle lane-splitting or lane filtering by using a camera to capture images of adjacent vehicles and a processor to analyze these images to predict vehicle trajectories. The systems and methods disclosed predict future vehicle trajectories, calculates potential distances, and issues a warning if the anticipated separation between vehicles falls below a predefined safety threshold, thereby signaling unsafe conditions for lane splitting.

  • Patent number: 12467768
    Abstract: A system for creating online vectorized maps for autonomous vehicles includes an image sensor and an electronic control unit (ECU). The image sensor captures a series of image frames. The ECU includes a memory, a central processing unit (CPU), and a transceiver. The memory stores a semantic segmentation deep learning model and a vectorization post-processing module as computer readable code. The CPU executes the semantic segmentation deep learning model and the vectorization post-processing module to output a vectorized map of an external environment of a vehicle. The transceiver uploads the vectorized map to a server such that the vectorized map can be accessed by a second vehicle that uses the vectorized map to traverse the external environment.
