  • Patent number: 11390136
    Abstract: An air conditioning system, a vehicle and a method of controlling the vehicle with a vehicle air conditioning system are provided. The vehicle air conditioning system has a refrigeration circuit having a compressor, a condenser, and an evaporator in sequential fluid communication, with a valve assembly and a battery chiller positioned for parallel flow with the evaporator. A cooling circuit in the vehicle has a chiller. A controller is configured to, in response to a temperature of the evaporator being less than a first predetermined value and the compressor operating at a predetermined speed, open the valve assembly to divert a portion of refrigerant through the chiller and away from the evaporator. The refrigerant may be diverted, for example, to raise the temperature of the evaporator and/or prevent cycling of the compressor.

  • Patent number: 11370454
    Abstract: An autonomous vehicle is operated using a main autonomy system that analyzes data collected by a sensor system of the autonomous vehicle to determine a trajectory of travel of the autonomous vehicle, and wherein the main autonomy system provides instructions to a propulsion system of the autonomous vehicle to cause the propulsion system to navigate the autonomous vehicle according to the trajectory. In response to determining that navigating the autonomous vehicle according to the trajectory is likely to result in collision, instructions are provided from a parallel autonomy system to the propulsion system to cause the autonomous vehicle to avoid collision. In response to detecting a fault in the main autonomy system, control of the propulsion system is provided from the main autonomy system to a failover autonomy system, wherein the failover autonomy system is configured to override the propulsion system.
