Abstract: Techniques and methods for securing vehicle systems. For instance, an authorization system may store data representing frequencies at which destination locations are associated pick-up locations for a fleet of autonomous vehicles. The authorization system may then receive a request for an autonomous vehicle to pick up a passenger at a first location and drop off the passenger at a second location. Based on the first location and the second location, the authorization system may determine a frequency for the request. The authorization system may then determine whether a control system for the fleet of autonomous vehicles is compromised based on whether the frequency is less than or equal to a threshold frequency. If the authorization system determines that the control system is compromised, the authorization system may perform a remedial action, such as notifying a teleoperator.

Abstract: An arrangement which includes a connector mounted over an opening of a battery casing, delimiting a gas flow channel. A cover is fitted onto an annular body of the connector to cover the channel in a non-sealing manner, an internal membrane provided in the channel allowing filtration. The axial fitted position of the cover, locked by a locking member, is a position in which: a tip of the cover is placed in the vicinity of the membrane which can thus be torn in the event of critical deformation towards the tip under the effect of an overpressure prevailing against the cover; and the member abuts axially against the connector. The member can deform in order to unlock the fitting of the cover when the overpressure in the channel exceeds a threshold at the time of or after the tearing of the membrane.

Abstract: An approach for recommending a prioritized list of replacement of failed drives. The approach receives data associated with failed drives from data centers. The approach segregates the data into variable groups based on a data type. The approach creates a logical layer of entry lists, based on the units, for instantiations of the executable program. The approach sorts the data into priority groups based on priority rules associated with the variable groups and predetermined thresholds. The approach generates a prioritized list of failed drive replacement order based on an ensemble machine learning model. The approach outputs the prioritized list, replacement drive availability information and drive replacement personnel availability information.
