Abstract: Provided are methods for thermal sensor data vehicle perception, which can include obtaining thermal sensor data, obtaining non-thermal sensor data, and determining, based on the thermal sensor data and the non-thermal sensor data, a perception parameter indicative of an object. Some methods described also include generating a trajectory for an autonomous vehicle. Systems and computer program products are also provided.

Abstract: Provided are methods, systems, and computer program products for vehicle dynamics classification for collision and loss of control detection. Some methods described also include obtaining sensor data associated with dynamics of a vehicle, wherein the dynamics characterize motion of the vehicle and the vehicle is associated with a dynamics event classification. The methods include obtaining predicted dynamics, wherein the predicted dynamics are based on control signals and feedback on control signals from a previous time instance. Additionally, the methods include determining the dynamics event classification of the vehicle based on the dynamics and the predicted dynamics and controlling operation of the vehicle according to the dynamics event classification.

Abstract: Provided are methods related to autonomous vehicle with microphone safety. The method can include obtaining, using a microphone array and at least one processor, a plurality of microphone input signals including a first microphone input signal and a second microphone input signal; determining, using the at least one processor, an impact on the microphone array based on the first microphone input signal and the second microphone input signal; and providing, via an interface and using the at least one processor, an instruction associated with the impact. Systems and computer program products are also provided.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for event detection. A described system includes a vehicle body containing body regions, sensors, processor, and memory. The sensors can include at least one sensor positioned about at least one body region of the body regions. The at least one body region can be associated with a region event type. The memory can store instructions thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations which can include obtaining data associated with at least one sensor measurement from the at least one sensor, determining that the at least one sensor measurement is associated with the region event type, and determining that an event associated with the region event type occurred based on determining that the at least one sensor measurement is associated with the region event type and that the at least one body region is associated with the region event type.
