Abstract: Upon determining a first vehicle is moving on a two-way road in a first direction of travel in an only lane of the two-way road, vehicle sensor data is input to a first neural network that identifies a yield area along the two-way road via image segmentation. A second vehicle is detected traveling toward the first vehicle on the only lane of the two-way road. Then, upon determining the first vehicle is to yield to the second vehicle, one or more vehicle components are actuated to move the first vehicle to the yield area.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments described in this disclosure are generally directed to systems and methods for receiving a ride request from a user of a user device and utilizing an imaging system located in a vehicle of a ride service to capture an image of a seating area of the vehicle. The image is processed by a processor to identify a seat occupancy status and generate a seat availability diagram based on the seat occupancy status. The seat availability diagram is transmitted to the user device, and the user is prompted to either select a seat by using the seat availability diagram or to allow the system to assign any seat in the vehicle. If a seat selection is made, the system responds by reserving the selected seat and may further provide instructions to the user for entering the vehicle through a specific door located closest to the selected seat.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments described in this disclosure generally pertain to ride request evaluation systems and methods that assist a driver of a ride automobile to make a decision on whether to accept or decline a ride request. An exemplary ride request evaluation system includes a computer that evaluates a profitability or a loss associated with accepting the ride request. The evaluation may be carried out based in part on a cost factor that is calculated using parameters such as a distance to a destination indicated in the ride request, a time of day for executing the ride request, a fuel consumption rate of a ride automobile, and/or an operational condition of the ride automobile. In one embodiment, the computer is located in a device that is operated by the driver. An installed application displays the result of the evaluation to assist the driver in deciding whether to accept or decline the ride request.
