  • Patent number: 12617424
    Abstract: A system includes a memory device and a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory device, to identify one or more erroneous predictions of behavior for one or more objects in an environment of an autonomous vehicle traveling along a planned trajectory, and initiate, based on the one or more erroneous predictions, one or more operations to adjust the planned trajectory of the autonomous vehicle. Each erroneous prediction of the one or more erroneous predictions is determined based on a comparison between a corresponding observed spatial overlap between the autonomous vehicle and a corresponding object, and a corresponding predicted spatial overlap between the autonomous vehicle and the corresponding object.

  • Patent number: 11904886
    Abstract: A system includes a memory device and a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory device, to obtain a set of predicted behavior data including data indicative of one or more predicted object behaviors for one or more respective objects in an environment of an autonomous vehicle, obtain a set of observed behavior data including data indicative of one or more observed object behaviors of the one or more objects, determine, based on a comparison of the set of predicted behavior data and the set of observed behavior data, whether a set of incorrect object behavior predictions exists within the set of predicted behavior data, and upon determining that the set of incorrect object behavior predictions exists, initiate, based on at least a generated subset of the set of incorrect object behavior predictions, one or more operations to address the set of incorrect object behavior predictions.

  • Patent number: 10906583
    Abstract: A method of maneuvering a vehicle in reverse for attachment to a trailer is disclosed. The method includes receiving one or more images from one or more cameras positioned on a back portion of the vehicle and identifying one or more trailers within the one or more images. The method also includes receiving an indication of a selected trailer from the one or more trailers. Additionally, the method includes determining a vehicle path from an initial position to a final position. The vehicle path includes maneuvers configured to direct the vehicle in a rearward direction along the vehicle path from the initial position to the final position. The method also includes executing one or more behaviors causing the vehicle to take an action to autonomously follow the vehicle path and execute the maneuvers.

  • Publication number: 20190212747
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for aligning a vehicle to roadway lane markers includes measuring at least one of a first distance between the vehicle and lane markers for the roadway and a second distance between the vehicle and a recognizable object proximate to the roadway. The location of the vehicle is determined from a satellite navigation system receiver. This location is combined with the first and/or second distances to provide a localization of the vehicle on a high definition (“HD”) map of the roadway. A steering correction signal is generated in response to the comparison of the first distance to the localization of the vehicle on the HD map. The method further includes providing the steering correction signal to an electronic steering controller, wherein the electronic steering controller causes a vehicle steering mechanism to change the position of the vehicle in the roadway lane.
