Patent number: 11535270Abstract: The described techniques relate to coordinating and managing faults of systems of a vehicle, such as an autonomous vehicle, to enable the vehicle to respond safely and appropriately to the faults. In examples, a centralized fault monitor system receives faults from different vehicle systems, maps the received faults to associated fault constraints, prioritizes different and shared parameters between the fault constraints, and communicates the constraint parameters to appropriate vehicle systems accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2019Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: Zoox, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Daniel Lopez, Collin MacGregor, Radhika Jitendra Patel, Derek Redfern, Kristofer Sven Smeds

Patent number: 10780967Abstract: A steering system for a marine vessel comprises a helm, a control head, and a joystick. The helm and control head may respectively provide user inputted steering commands and user inputted shift and throttle commands on a first CAN network. The joystick and the control head may respectively provide user inputted steering commands and user inputted shift and throttle commands on a second CAN network. The helm may provide user inputted steering commands on the first CAN network. The control head may provide user inputted shift and throttle commands on the second CAN network. The joystick may provide user inputted steering commands and user inputted shift and throttle commands on either the first CAN network or the second CAN network.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2019Date of Patent: September 22, 2020Assignee: Marine Canada Acquisition Inc.Inventors: Douglas Clarke, Pierre Garon, Ray Wong, Anson Chan, Kristofer Sven Smeds, David Higgs, Richard Redfern

Publication number: 20200211394Abstract: A vehicle may include a primary system for generating data to control the vehicle and a secondary system that validates the data and/or other data to avoid collisions. For example, the primary system may localize the vehicle, detect an object around the vehicle, predict an object trajectory, and generate a trajectory for the vehicle. The secondary system may localize the vehicle, detect an object around the vehicle, predict an object trajectory, and evaluate a trajectory generated by the primary system. The secondary system may also monitor components of the vehicle to detect an error. If the secondary system detects an error with a trajectory generated by the primary system and/or an error with a component of the vehicle, the secondary system may cause the vehicle to perform a maneuver, such as decelerating, changing lanes, swerving, etc.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 26, 2018Publication date: July 2, 2020Inventors: Andrew Lewis King, Kristofer Sven Smeds, Jefferson Bradfield Packer, Robert Edward Somers, Marc Wimmershoff
