  • Patent number: 11562517
    Abstract: A method of populating a digital environment with digital content is disclosed. Environment data describing the digital environment is accessed. Populator data describing a populator digital object is accessed. The populator data includes semantic data describing the populator digital object. The populator digital object is placed within the digital environment. A semantic map representation of the populator digital object is generated. The semantic map representation is divided into a plurality of cells. A target cell of the plurality of cells is selected as a placeholder in the digital environment for a digital object that is optionally subsequently instantiated. The selecting of the target cell is based on an analysis of the environment data, the populator data, and the semantic map representation. Placeholder data is recorded in the semantic map representation. The placeholder data includes properties corresponding to the digital object that is optionally subsequently instantiated.

  • Patent number: 11551494
    Abstract: Example aspects of the present disclosure are directed to improved systems and methods for testing autonomous vehicle operation through the use of mobile test devices that are controlled at least in part in response to predictive motion planning associated with autonomous vehicles. More particularly, the motion of a mobile test device can be controlled based on the motion plan of an autonomous vehicle to cause desired interactions between the mobile test device and the autonomous vehicle. Motion planning data associated with the autonomous vehicle can be obtained by an autonomous vehicle (AV) test system prior to the autonomous vehicle implementing or completely implementing a motion plan. In this manner, the AV test system can proactively control the mobile test device based on predictive motion planning data to facilitate interactions between the mobile test device and the autonomous vehicle that may not otherwise be achievable.

  • Patent number: 11544936
    Abstract: A vehicle can include various sensors to detect objects in an environment. In some cases, the object may be within a planned path of travel of the vehicle. In these cases, leaving the planned path may be dangerous to the passengers so the vehicle may, based on dimensions of the object, dimensions of the vehicle, and semantic information of the object, determine operational parameters associate with passing the object while maintaining a position within the planned path, if possible.
