Abstract: A data management platform may receive an environment configuration for a data environment to be implemented in a data structure, wherein the environment configuration includes requirements of an application. The data management platform may configure, based on the environment configuration, the data environment, to generate a configured data environment. The data management platform may deploy the configured data environment in the data structure. The data management platform may perform one or more tests on data stored in the configured data environment in the data structure to generate one or more test results based on performing the one or more tests on the data. The data management platform may update, based on the one or more test results, the configured data environment, to generate an updated configured data environment, wherein the updated configured data environment meets the requirements of the application.

Abstract: A system for operating a vehicle includes a perception sensor, vehicle controls, a controller circuit, and a leveling actuator. The perception sensor is operable to determine a slope of an area within an operable range of a vehicle. The vehicle controls are operable to control movement of the vehicle. The controller circuit is in communication with the perception sensor, the vehicle controls, and the leveling actuator. The controller circuit is configured to determine, using the perception sensor, a first slope of a first site within the area to stop the vehicle, and compare the first slope to a slope threshold. In response to a determination that the first slope is steeper than the slope threshold, the controller circuit is configured to access a digital map that indicates a plurality of slopes coinciding with a plurality of locations at least comprising a second site characterized by a second slope that is not steeper than the slope threshold.

Abstract: A system for operating a host-vehicle includes a perception-sensor, vehicle-controls, and a controller-circuit. The perception-sensor is operable to determine a slope of an area proximate to a host-vehicle. The vehicle-controls are operable to control movement of the host-vehicle. The controller-circuit is in communication with the perception-sensor and the vehicle-controls. The controller-circuit is configured to determine a first-slope of a first-site to pick-up or drop-off a client of the host-vehicle, and compare the first-slope to a slope-threshold. In response to a determination that the first-slope is steeper than the slope-threshold, the controller-circuit is configured to select a second-site to pick-up or drop-off the client. The second-site is characterized by a second-slope that is not steeper than the slope-threshold. The controller-circuit is also configured to operate the vehicle-controls to move the host-vehicle to the second-site.
