  • Patent number: 12565182
    Abstract: Methods and systems for estimating autonomous brake wear in a vehicle. A brake table includes a correspondence between a desired brake request and an applied brake force. Vehicle deceleration data is generated during several braking events of the vehicle. The vehicle deceleration data includes (i) desired brake requests issued during the braking events, and (ii) vehicle speeds during the brake request. A learning model is executed on the deceleration data. The learning model is configured to estimate a brake wear based on changes in differences between (a) the desired brake requests issued during the braking events and (b) the vehicle speeds during the brake requests. Based on the estimated brake wear, the brake table is modified in order to yield a modified brake table. A new desired brake request is generated using the modified brake table.

  • Patent number: 12536908
    Abstract: In some implementations, the device may include receiving, via an image sensor associated with a vehicle, an image of a parking area. In addition, the device may include determining that the image of the parking area includes an available parking spot; analyzing the image of the parking area to locate a number associated with the available parking spot; determining that the vehicle is entering the available parking spot; creating, in response to the vehicle entering the available parking spot, a generated image that includes the number associated with the available parking spot based on the image of the parking area; and displaying the generated image on a vehicle display in response to the vehicle occupying the available parking spot.

  • Patent number: 12427973
    Abstract: In some implementations, the device may include receiving, via one or more image sensors, one or more images of a parking area. In addition, the device may include determining, based on the one or more images, a first available parking spot. The device may include determining a second available parking spot adjacent to the first available parking spot, where the second available parking spot is a pull-through parking spot accessible by maneuvering through the first available parking spot. Moreover, the device may include displaying to a user, via a vehicle interface, the one or more images of the parking area, an indication of a location of the pull-through parking spot. Also, the device may include receiving, via the vehicle interface, a selection to park the vehicle in the pull-through parking spot. Further, the device may include parking the vehicle in the pull-through parking, where the parking is performed autonomously.
