Abstract: A system generates screenshots of a graphical user interface (GUI) of an application that is displayed by target devices testing the application. Each screenshot includes an image of the GUI and metadata indicative of elements of the GUI present in the image or a state of the application or target device when the image is generated. The system determines, based on the metadata of a screenshot from a first set of the screenshots and the metadata of a screenshot from a second set of the screenshots, whether the screenshots are similar and if so, the system assigns the screenshot from the second set of screenshots to a cluster that includes the screenshot from the first set of screenshots. The system outputs an indication of the cluster (e.g., a notification or graphical indication) indicative of the similarity or discrepancy between the screenshots.

Abstract: A vertically articulating trailer hitch assembly for use with a vehicle, and particularly for use with an autonomous vehicle. The trailer hitch assembly is pivotally attached to the vehicle frame. The hitch assembly is allowed to swing away from the vehicle frame from a lowered position in which the trailer ball is uncoupled from the hitch coupler of the trailer to a raised position in which the trailer ball is coupled to the hitch coupler. The hitch assembly typically includes a receiver that has a long axis. The vehicle frame has a long axis. When the hitch assembly is in its lowered position, the long axis of the receiver is out of alignment with the long axis of the frame. When the hitch assembly is in its raised position, the long axis of the receiver is aligned with the long axis of the frame.
