Abstract: A system for providing manual guidance of a vehicle includes a first inertial measurement unit (IMU) attached to a steering wheel, a second IMU attached to a fixed part of the vehicle, a global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) receiver, a data storage device for storing a pre-planned path, and a feedback module. The feedback module is configured to determine a current angle of the steering wheel, determine a deviation of the current position of the vehicle from the pre-planned path, determine a current heading of the vehicle, determine a current velocity of the vehicle, and determine a desired angle of the steering wheel relative to the vehicle. The system further includes a user interface configured to provide a visual indication of the desired angle of the steering wheel or a deviation of the current angle of the steering wheel from the desired angle of the steering wheel.

Abstract: A method of verifying accuracy of a perception system of a vehicle includes causing the vehicle to traverse a path around a target that is fixed in an environment. The target has a known pose. The path is configured so that the target comes into a respective field of view (FOV) of each respective perception sensor of one or more perception sensors of the perception system along the path. The method further includes, for each respective perception sensor of the one or more perception sensors, while the target is within the respective FOV of the respective perception sensor, acquiring a respective image of the target using the respective perception sensor; at the perception system, determining a respective pose of the target based on the respective image; and at a computer system communicatively coupled with the perception system, determining whether the respective pose matches the known pose of the target.
