  • Using environmental information to estimate sensor functionality for autonomous vehicles
    Patent number: 11714409
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to controlling a vehicle having an autonomous driving mode. This may include receiving, by one or more processors of the vehicle, first information identifying a current relative humidity measurement within a sensor housing of a vehicle having an autonomous driving mode. The relative humidity measurement and pre-stored environmental map information may be used by the one or more processors to estimate a condition of a sensor within the sensor housing at a future time. This estimated condition may be used by the one or more processors to control the vehicle.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 29, 2020
    Date of Patent: August 1, 2023
    Assignee: Waymo LLC
