  • Patent number: 11716598
    Abstract: The technology relates to actively looking for an assigned passenger prior to a vehicle 100 reaching a pickup location. For instance, information identifying the pickup location and client device information for authenticating the assigned passenger is received. Sensor data is received from a perception system of the vehicle identifying objects in an environment of the vehicle. When the vehicle is within a predetermined distance from the pickup location, authenticating a client device using the client device information is attempted. When the client device has been authenticated, the sensor data is used to determine whether a pedestrian is within a first threshold distance of the vehicle. When a pedestrian is determined to be within the first threshold distance of the vehicle, the vehicle is stopped prior to reaching the pickup location, to wait for the pedestrian within the first threshold distance of the vehicle to enter the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20230177052
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for improving performance of a SQL execution sequence of SQL statements. The SQL execution sequence is recorded in an event log. Original results of executing the SQL statements and an original CPU cost of executing the SQL statements in accordance with the original access path are recorded in a logical log. A new access path is generated from analysis of the event log and the logical log. The SQL statements are executed in accordance with the new access path resulting in new results of executing the SQL statements including a new CPU cost of executing the SQL statements in accordance with the new access path. In response to a determination that the new results replicate the original results and that the new CPU cost is less than the original CPU cost, the original access path is replaced with the new access path.
