  • Patent number: 11822337
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides autonomous vehicle systems and methods that include or otherwise leverage a machine-learned yield model. In particular, the machine-learned yield model can be trained or otherwise configured to receive and process feature data descriptive of objects perceived by the autonomous vehicle and/or the surrounding environment and, in response to receipt of the feature data, provide yield decisions for the autonomous vehicle relative to the objects. For example, a yield decision for a first object can describe a yield behavior for the autonomous vehicle relative to the first object (e.g., yield to the first object or do not yield to the first object). Example objects include traffic signals, additional vehicles, or other objects. The motion of the autonomous vehicle can be controlled in accordance with the yield decisions provided by the machine-learned yield model.

    Abstract: A pixel unit and an LCD device are disclosed. The pixel unit comprises four sub-pixel units. Each of the sub-pixel units comprises a pixel electrode, comprising a plurality of strip portions positioned at intervals. Two adjacent strip portions define a slit. One strip portion and one slit adjacent to the strip portion are defined as an electrode portion and a width of the electrode portion is a sum of a width of the slit and a width of the strip portion. The width of each of the electrode portions and/or the width of each of the strip portions and/or the width of each of the slits is different.
