Abstract: An autonomous vehicle system that provides a playlist of potential paths for a user to select and implement so that an autonomous vehicle can follow the playlist of potential paths from one path to another path to another path is disclosed. The playlist may include one or more paths repeated any number of times. In addition, one cycle of a playlist may be repeated one or more times. The paths may be created, for example, by a user in an autonomous vehicle command and control system. The playlist of potential paths, once created, may be communicated to an autonomous vehicle for execution.

Abstract: System and methods are disclosed that provide an autonomous safety rider system for an autonomous vehicle. The autonomous safety rider system, for example, may allow the autonomous vehicle to undergo various on road tests without having a human safety rider. The autonomous safety rider system may be able to control the brakes, throttle, and/or steering of the autonomous vehicle such as, for example, via a drive by wire (or CAN) interface or via one or more physical actuators that physically engage with the brakes, throttle, and/or steering.

Abstract: An automated swarming vehicle test environment includes a vehicle automation platform (VAP), a first swarming vehicle, and a second swarming vehicle. In some embodiments, a first test plan is created by a VAP for a first swarming vehicle. The first test plan comprises: a time series of vehicle trajectory data for the first swarming vehicle, and position data for the first swarming vehicle relative to a test vehicle. The first test plan is sent from the VAP to the first swarming vehicle. In some embodiments, a second test plan is created by the VAP for a second swarming vehicle. The second test plan comprises: a time series of vehicle trajectory data for the second swarming vehicle, and position data for the second swarming vehicle relative to the test vehicle. The second test plan is sent from the VAP to the second swarming vehicle.

Abstract: An information system having various databases (30-40 and 50-52) for storing data relating to products or services, and risk data models or propensity models. A web server (48) provides web pages (20) through which a user is able to express choices, which result in querying the product database (32) to provide a raw result set, and filtering of the raw result set based on a risk model to eliminate results not having a likelihood of a successful outcome. The filtered result set is displayed. A propensity model database may be provided for storing data modelling the propensity of an outcome in relation to related products or services, e.g. based upon demographic or lifestyle data. A tracking tool may be used to define past behaviour of the user.
