  • Publication number: 20240286650
    Abstract: A driving simulator can include one or more input devices; a display; and one or more processors communicatively coupled with the one or more input devices and the display. The one or more processors can be configured to store, in memory, a predetermined path for a simulated vehicle to travel in a simulated environment; execute an application to cause the simulated environment to appear on the display in a autonomous mode in which the application is configured to simulate the simulated vehicle driving by updating the display over time according to the predetermined path; receive an input from at least one of the one or more input devices; and responsive to receiving the input, change the mode of the application from the autonomous mode to a manual mode in which the application is configured to update the display according to inputs from the one or more input devices.

  • Publication number: 20240289514
    Abstract: A system can include a driving simulator. The driving simulator can include one or more input devices corresponding to controls of a vehicle; a display; and one or more processors communicatively coupled with the one or more input devices and the display. The one or more processors can be configured to simulate, on the display, an autonomous vehicle driving through a simulated environment in a manual mode based on inputs from the one or more input devices, automatically in an autonomous mode, and transition between manual mode and autonomous mode. The system can include a remote computing device. The remote computing device can be configured to receive an input from a user interface displayed at the remote computing device during a simulation of the autonomous vehicle in the autonomous mode, the input causing a fault in the operation of the autonomous vehicle in the autonomous mode.

  • Publication number: 20060055205
    Abstract: A mounting system for securing brake hoses and electrical cables located to the rearward of a mobile vehicle cab. The mobile vehicle's cab is engaged to a chassis. The chassis has exhaust stanchions rearward of the cab relative to vehicle forward movement. The exhaust stanchions are supported by braces. Attached to these braces, or integrated into them, are mounting points for interchangeable brackets. One carries a “glad hand” and electrical connector hanger, and the other carries a hose tender.
