  • Patent number: 12071136
    Abstract: Approaches to managing navigation of autonomous vehicles through minor-major intersections are disclosed. A minor-major intersection is detected. Shadow tracks are generated for occlusions associated with the minor-major intersection. A maneuver evaluation is performed based on induced kinematic discomfort and post-encroachment time. Preliminary lateral and longitudinal planning is performed based on shadow tracks, induced kinematic discomfort and post-encroachment time to generate one or more proposed trajectories. Final trajectory generation is performed by refining at least one of the one or more proposed trajectories to generate the final trajectory. The autonomous vehicle performs a selected maneuver corresponding to the final trajectory within the minor-major intersection.

  • Patent number: 12036991
    Abstract: Described herein are technologies relating to controlling an autonomous vehicle based upon a computed lane boundary. The computed lane boundary defines a travel path for the autonomous vehicle when the autonomous vehicle turns across a lane of traffic at an intersection of two or more roadways. The autonomous vehicle navigates turn based upon the computed lane boundary, which allows the autonomous vehicle to enter the intersection without crossing into a lane of oncoming traffic.

  • Publication number: 20240068707
    Abstract: An exhaust conduit for neutralizing condensate from high efficiency gas storage water heaters is provided. The exhaust conduit includes an inlet configured to be coupled to an exhaust outlet of the heater, an outlet configured to be coupled to an exhaust vent, and a condensate chamber having an interior in fluidic communication with the inlet and the outlet. The condensate chamber has a lower portion configured to receive a neutralizer and an upper portion having a service port configured to provide access to the lower portion of the condensate chamber. The condensate chamber further includes a fluid outlet for draining the neutralized condensate via a drain line. The exhaust conduit has one or more ridges disposed in the chamber that are arranged to define a channel for directing condensate from the inlet across the neutralizer toward the fluid outlet.

  • Publication number: 20230368088
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for specifying goals and behavioral parameters for planning systems of autonomous vehicles. In some aspects, a method includes receiving, by a mission manager in an autonomous vehicle (AV), a mission from an input source of the AV, the mission comprising a request for a task that the AV is to fulfill; deconflicting the mission with one or more other missions of the AV to generate a ranked list of missions; selecting a target mission from the ranked list of missions in accordance with priorities corresponding to each mission in the ranked list of missions; generating one or more scenarios based on the target mission, the one or more scenarios comprising encoded representations of local and geometric terms to cause the target mission to be fulfilled by the AV; and dispatching the one or more scenarios to a planner layer of the AV.

  • Publication number: 20230339509
    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for pull-over site selection for an autonomous vehicle. Simulation information is received from an external source. The simulation information corresponds to multiple simulations involving a virtual autonomous vehicle and available pull-over locations for the virtual autonomous vehicle. An indication to cause the autonomous vehicle to search for a pull-over location is received. Potential pull-over locations are analyzed in response to the indication. The potential pull-over locations are compared to simulated pull-over locations to identify a selected pull-over location. The autonomous vehicle navigates the selected pull-over location. The autonomous vehicle stops at the selected pull-over location.
