  • Patent number: 12246734
    Abstract: Techniques are discussed herein for detecting and managing faults occurring within various vehicle systems, to enable the vehicle to respond safely and appropriately to the faults. In examples, a constraint generator may receive sensor data associated with the operation of a vehicle in an environment. The constraint generator may perturb the sensor data to mimic particular sensor faults, and execute simulations to determine performance degradations of the vehicle systems associated with the particular sensor faults. Based on the performance degradations associated with sensor faults, the constraint generator may determine the appropriate constraints with limitations on the operation of the vehicle, and communicate the constraint parameters to the appropriate vehicle systems accordingly.

  • Patent number: 10347132
    Abstract: One general aspect includes a system to send a distress notification, the system including a memory configured to include one or more executable instructions and a processor configured to execute the executable instructions, where the executable instructions enable the processor to: receive pedestrian movement information from a pedestrian detection sensor; receive third-party vehicle movement information from a vehicle detection sensor; and based at least in part on both the pedestrian movement information and third-party vehicle movement information, provide a collision warning notification.
