Abstract: The disclosure herein describes processing consent data and using the processed consent data in workflows. Customer consent data is accessed, wherein the customer consent data includes subject consent instances including associated consent purpose-value pairs. The customer consent data is mapped to a raw consent data schema based on mapping selections made on a mapping UI, wherein the mapping includes mapping consent purpose-value pairs of the consent instances to data columns of the raw consent data schema. Metadata representing one or more consent rules related to the raw consent data schema is generated based on rule selections made on a rule configuration UI and the consent rules are applied to one or more workflows. The disclosure enables consent data in different formats and/or from different sources to be ingested and standardized in a single platform such that consent checking functionality can be provided for applications in a consistent and comprehensive manner.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to generate vehicle warnings are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a sensor to detect a vehicle, where the sensor is associated with an observer of the vehicle, an object tracker to determine a motion of the vehicle, an accident estimator to calculate a likelihood of a collision of the vehicle based on the determined motion, and a transceiver to transmit a message to the vehicle upon the likelihood of the collision exceeding a threshold, where the message includes information pertaining to the collision.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for retrieving information from information services and providing it to a public application programming interface (API) includes receiving a first request data message using a core discovery agent, the request data message including at least one requested datum, for which a value is sought, and at least one known datum, for which a value is known; calling a resource locator to request a location of an information service that provides a value for the requested datum; calling a resource façade to contact the information service; transmitting a first information service message including the requested datum and known datum from the resource façade to the information service; receiving a second information service message from the information service including a value for the requested datum; and transmitting a resolved data message including the requested datum and its value from the core discovery agent to the public API.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus relating to heterogeneous compute architecture hardware/software co-design for autonomous driving are described. In one embodiment, a heterogeneous compute architecture for autonomous driving systems (also interchangeably referred to herein as Heterogeneous Compute Architecture or “HCA” for short) integrates scalable heterogeneous processors, flexible networking, benchmarking tools, etc. to enable (e.g., system-level) designers to perform hardware and software co-design. With HCA system engineers can rapidly architect, benchmark, and/or evolve vehicle system architectures for autonomous driving. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting rogue vehicles within a plurality of vehicles connected via a vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET) are provided. Sensors on each VANET vehicle provide host vehicle data and data associated with other nearby vehicles. Each VANET vehicle multicasts information that includes location, velocity, and preferred future travel path to the other VANET vehicles. Using data from sensors and data received from other VANET vehicles the host vehicle generates a dynamic set of safe vehicle operating behaviors. Nearby vehicles that do not comply with the determined safe vehicle operating behaviors or perform illegal/unsafe acts are identified as rogue vehicles. Data associated with identified rogue vehicles is transmitted to all VANET vehicles.
