Publication number: 20240025438Abstract: Various technologies described herein pertain to causing presentation on a user interface of an immediate portion of a navigation route of an autonomous vehicle. A computing system of the autonomous vehicle determines whether an object detected by sensor(s) of the autonomous vehicle proximate to the immediate portion of the navigation route are of a type and relative position defined as one of consequential and inconsequential for a human passenger. In response to determining that an object has both a type and relative position defined as consequential, the computing system causes presentation on the user interface a representation of the object relative to the immediate portion of the navigation route to provide a confidence engendering indication that the autonomous vehicle has detected the object. Otherwise if inconsequential, presentation on the user interface of any representation of the object is not caused by the computing system to avoid creating a confusing presentation.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Stephanie Olivia Engle, Mariya Jacobo, Jacqueline Mary Shannon, David Hyon Berrios, Tejeswara Reddy Pogula, John Logan Anderson, Divya Thakur

Patent number: 11830100Abstract: A device for hailing a vehicle includes a location sensor outputting location information indicative of a location of the device. The device further includes a device interface configured to receive an input from a user of the device. Responsive to the input, a transmitter of the device transmits the location information, input information, and identification information for the device to a dispatch server system. The transmitter is further configured to route the location information, the input information, and the identification information for the device to only the dispatch server system. The identification information is used by the dispatch server system to set a predefined location associated with the identification information as a destination for a trip for the user in the vehicle. The predefined location is defined in an account corresponding to the identification information of the device maintained by the dispatch server system prior to receipt of the input.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2021Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS LLCInventors: Stephanie Olivia Engle, Mariya Jacobo, Divya Thakur, Bradley David Ryan

Publication number: 20210197846Abstract: Sensors coupled to a first vehicle are used to measure sensor measurements. Based on the sensor measurements, the first vehicle identifies a risk to the first vehicle and/or to a second vehicle near the first vehicle, for example based on a distance between the first and second vehicle being unsafely low. The first vehicle generates an alert based on the risk and outputs the alert toward the second vehicle, for example visually through a screen and/or audibly using speakers, to warn an operator of the second vehicle about the risk.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2019Publication date: July 1, 2021Inventors: Divya Thakur, Rajat Basu, Jeffrey Brandon, Daniel Kan, Michael Frank Schmidt
