Publication number: 20240087451Abstract: The technology relates to detecting and responding to emergency vehicles. This may include using a plurality of microphones to detect a siren noise corresponding to an emergency vehicle and to estimate a bearing of the emergency vehicle. This estimated bearing is compared to map information to identify a portion of roadway on which the emergency vehicle is traveling. In addition, information identifying a set of objects in the vehicle's environment as well as characteristics of those objects is received from a perception system is used to determine whether one of the set of objects corresponds to the emergency vehicle. How to respond to the emergency vehicle is determined based on the estimated bearing and identified road segments and the determination of whether one of the set of objects corresponds to the emergency vehicle. This determined response is then used to control the vehicle in an autonomous driving mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: David Harrison Silver, Angus Leigh, Benjamin Ingram, Jennifer Taylor, Vaibhav Nangia

Patent number: 11893509Abstract: A method and apparatus for certification of facts introduces a certifier and a fact certificate into the fact-exchange cycle that enables parties to exchange trustworthy facts. Certification is provided to a fact presenter during the first part of the fact-exchange cycle, and verification is provided to the fact receiver during the last part of the cycle. To request a certification, a fact presenter presents the Certifier with a fact. In return, the certifier issues a fact certificate, after which the fact presenter presents the fact certificate to the fact receiver instead of presenting the fact itself. The receiver inspects the received certificate in order to evaluate the fact's validity and trustworthiness. For some facts and notions of verification, the certificate is sufficient and its inspection does not require any communication. For others, the receiver requests a verification service from the Certifier in order to complete the verification.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2021Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: FactifyInventors: David Leigh Donoho, Matan Gavish
