Abstract: A system for improving data security for computing devices receives a data input stream indicating changes to data security threats posed to the computing devices. The system detects, based at least in part on the changes to the data security threats, a new data security threat posed to the computing devices. The system determines one or more available data security controls that align with the new data security threat. The one or more available data security controls comprise security countermeasures available to the computing devices for resolving the new data security threat. After determining that a security vulnerability rating is greater than a threshold value, at least one of the one or more available data security controls may be automatically implemented at the computing devices.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to the detection of edge cases through application of a neural network to predict future vehicle environment data and identifying an edge case when the prediction error exceeds a given threshold. This allows edge cases to be identified based on unexpected vehicle environmental conditions or conditions that otherwise cause the neural network to make inaccurate predictions. These edge cases can then be utilized to better train machine learning systems, for instance, to train autonomous vehicle control systems. Alternatively, the identification of an edge case can highlight the need for remedial action and can therefore trigger an alert to a vehicle control system to take remedial action. Further methods and systems described herein improve environmental sensing by providing a computationally efficient and accurate means for fusing sensor data and using this fused data to control sensors to focus on areas that would most reduce the uncertainty in the sensing system.

Abstract: Activation of an automatic driving feature in a vehicle is detected by evaluating sequential vehicle operation data against subtractive and additive heuristic rules that define a likelihood of an automatic driving feature having been engaged as a function of vehicle performance. The sequential vehicle operation data, which does not include an explicit indication of whether the automatic driving feature was engaged, is provided for time intervals of a trip made by the vehicle. Automatic driving information is generated, which provides an indication of whether the automatic driving feature was engaged during a subset of the time intervals.

Abstract: Various methods are disclosed for folding a driver occupant airbag for incorporation into an associated airbag module. One method includes steps of positioning the airbag on a working surface, pinching at least one portion of an edge of the airbag along a rapid deployment axis of the airbag, laterally compressing the airbag, and longitudinally compressing the laterally compressed airbag to provide an installation-ready airbag component suitable for installation into an airbag module. Pinching the airbag at one or more locations along the rapid deployment axis during folding may cause the pinched airbag portions to deploy more rapidly than other portions of the airbag when the airbag is inflated. Alternative folding methods are also disclosed.
