Publication number: 20240140374Abstract: In various examples, activation criteria and/or braking profiles corresponding to automatic emergency braking (AEB) systems and/or collision mitigation warning (CMW) systems may be determined using sensor data representative of an environment to a front, side, and/or rear of a vehicle. For example, activation criteria for triggering an AEB system and/or CMW system may be adjusted by leveraging the availability of additional information with regards to the surrounding environment of a vehicle—such as the presence of a trailing vehicle. In addition, the braking profile for the AEB activation may be adjusted based on information about the presence of and/or location of vehicles to the front, rear, and/or side of the vehicle. By adjusting the activation criteria and/or braking profiles of an AEB system, the potential for collisions with dynamic objects in the environment is reduced and the overall safety of the vehicle and its passengers is increased.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2024Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Mark Henry Costin, Jonathan Sweedler

Publication number: 20240045426Abstract: Autonomous driving is one of the world's most challenging computational problems. Very large amounts of data from cameras, RADARs, LIDARs, and HD-Maps must be processed to generate commands to control the car safely and comfortably in real-time. This challenging task requires a dedicated supercomputer that is energy-efficient and low-power, complex high-performance software, and breakthroughs in deep learning AI algorithms. To meet this task, the present technology provides advanced systems and methods that facilitate autonomous driving functionality, including a platform for autonomous driving Levels 3, 4, and/or 5. In preferred embodiments, the technology provides an end-to-end platform with a flexible architecture, including an architecture for autonomous vehicles that leverages computer vision and known ADAS techniques, providing diversity and redundancy, and meeting functional safety standards.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventors: Michael Alan DITTY, Gary HICOK, Jonathan SWEEDLER, Clement FARABET, Mohammed Abdulla YOUSUF, Tai-Yuen CHAN, Ram GANAPATHI, Ashok SRINIVASAN, Michael Rod TRUOG, Karl GREB, John George MATHIESON, David NISTER, Kevin FLORY, Daniel PERRIN, Dan HETTENA
