Patent number: 11900815Abstract: Technologies for providing augmented reality wayfinding experiences in ridesharing applications are provided. In some examples, a method for providing augmented reality wayfinding experiences can include determining a first location of an autonomous vehicle (AV) relative to a second location of a client device associated with a user that requested a ride from the AV; based on the first location of the AV relative to the second location of the client device, determining a direction from the second location of the client device to the first location of the AV; presenting, at the client device, a feed from a camera sensor associated with the client device, the feed including a local scene captured by the camera sensor; and presenting a virtual content overlay on the feed, the virtual content overlay including an indication of the direction from the second location of the client device to the first location of the AV.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2019Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: GM Cruise Holdings LLCInventors: Jessica Leary, Jonathon Staff, Pratikbhai Patel, Bradley Ryan, Josh Berlin, John Logan Anderson, Michael Magnoli, Stanley Shiao

Publication number: 20220236729Abstract: Aspects of the disclosed technology encompass solutions for automatically managing autonomous vehicle (AV) operating and maintenance tasks, such as implementing an alternative operating mode or ordering replacement parts for an AV components. In some aspects, a process of the disclosed technology can include steps for receiving diagnostic data corresponding with an AV component, determining an estimated life cycle of the AV component, and determining whether to generate an action to implement an alternative operating mode or an order request for one or more replacement parts of the AV component, based on the estimated life cycle of the AV component. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2022Publication date: July 28, 2022Inventors: Xuefeng Wang, Joseph Thibeault, Jose Arturo Covarrubias Reynoso, Michael Magnoli, THOMAS BACHANT, NADAV ULLMAN, PAUL GARCIA, JAKE MCCLOSKEY, Maik Duwensee

Patent number: 10957123Abstract: Systems and methods provide for enabling an autonomous vehicle to automatically and dynamically monitor and maintain itself. The autonomous vehicle can analyze diagnostic data captured by a sensor of the autonomous vehicle in accordance with a model of autonomous vehicle operations. Based on the analysis of the diagnostic data, the autonomous vehicle can determine an operational issue and a criticality level of the operational issue based on the model of autonomous vehicle operations and, based on that determination, send the analysis of the diagnostic data to a routing service. The autonomous vehicle can receive instruction from the routing service to dynamically route the autonomous vehicle in accordance with a maintenance action.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2019Date of Patent: March 23, 2021Assignee: GM Cruise Holdings, LLCInventors: Thomas Bachant, Nadav Ullman, Joseph Thibeault, Jake McCloskey, Paul Garcia, Jose Arturo Covarrubias, Michael Magnoli

Publication number: 20170039504Abstract: According to some embodiments, information about a first enterprise having a first fleet of vehicles is used to create a first customer interface to receive ride requests from customers via at least one communication network. Similarly, information about a second enterprise (located geographically remote from the first enterprise) having a second fleet of vehicles is used to create a second customer interface. An affiliate link may be established between the first enterprise and the second enterprise. When a ride request is received via the first customer interface, and it is determined that the first customer is located geographically proximate to the second enterprise, it may be arranged for a vehicle from the second fleet to be assigned to the request based on the affiliate link between the first enterprise and the second enterprise.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2015Publication date: February 9, 2017Inventors: Nadav Ullman, Michael Magnoli, Thomas Bachant, Joseph Thibeault
