  • Publication number: 20230391323
    Abstract: An autonomous vehicle (AV) is described herein. The AV is configured to identify an occluded region where a portion of a field of view of a sensor is occluded by an object. The AV is further configured to hypothesize that an object exists in the occluded region and is moving in the occluded region. The AV is still further configured to perform a driving maneuver based upon the hypothesized object existing in the occluded region.

  • Patent number: 11345277
    Abstract: Various technologies described herein pertain to controlling an autonomous vehicle to provide indicators that signal a driving intent of the autonomous vehicle. The autonomous vehicle includes a plurality of sensor systems that generate a plurality of sensor signals, a notification system, and a computing system. The computing system determines that the autonomous vehicle is to execute a maneuver that will cause the autonomous vehicle to traverse a portion of a driving environment of the autonomous vehicle. The computing system predicts that a person in the driving environment is to traverse the portion of the driving environment based upon the plurality of sensor signals. The computing system then controls the notification system to output a first indicator indicating that the autonomous vehicle plans to yield to the person or a second indicator indicating that the autonomous vehicle plans to execute the maneuver prior to the person traversing the portion of the driving environment.

  • Publication number: 20220113723
    Abstract: An autonomous vehicle configured to perform a lane change maneuver is described herein. The autonomous vehicle includes several different types of sensor systems, such as image, lidar, radar, sonar, infrared, and GPS. The autonomous vehicle additionally includes a computing system that executes instructions on a lane change detection system and a control system. The lane change detection system includes a region of interest module and an object trajectory module for determining whether the autonomous vehicle will collide with another object if the autonomous vehicle maneuvers into an adjacent lane. An instruction module of the lane change detection system is further used to facilitate operational control of a mechanical system of the autonomous vehicle, such as an engine or a steering system.
