  • Patent number: 11572077
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to techniques to implement a vehicle action using a distributed model distributed across the vehicle and a remote node. A local portion of the distributed model at the vehicle may generate a local output model based on vehicle event data collected at the vehicle. The local output model may be sent from the vehicle at a first location to the remote node at a second location. The remote node may generate a remote output model based on the local output model using the remote portion of the distributed model. The vehicle action may be determined based on inspecting a reconstructed version of the vehicle event data included in the remote output model. The determined vehicle action may be implemented at the vehicle. The distributed model may facilitate the transmission of vehicle event data across multiple locations while securing the transmission of personally-identifiable information.

  • Patent number: 11403857
    Abstract: The present embodiments relate to efficient localization of a vehicle within a lane region. An imaging device onboard the vehicle may capture an image stream depicting an environment surrounding the vehicle. An image may be inspected to identify pixel bands indicative of lane markings of a road depicted in the image. Based on the identified pixel bands, a lane region indicating a lane of a roadway can be extracted. A lane drift metric may be generated that indicates an offset of the vehicle relative to a center of the lane region. An output action may be initiated based on the offset indicated in the lane drift metric. The lane region can be translated from a first frame to a second frame providing a top-down perspective of the vehicle within the lane region using a transformation matrix to assist in efficiently deriving the lane drift metric.

  • Patent number: 11392131
    Abstract: Systems and methods for driving. A driving data set for each of plurality of human-driven vehicles is determined. For each driving data set, exterior scene features of an exterior scene of the respective vehicle are extracted from the exterior image data. A driving response model is trained based on the exterior scene features and the vehicle control inputs from the selected driving data sets.

  • Publication number: 20210118545
    Abstract: A system and method is provided for recommending food items based on a set of instructions. A first set of instructions are executed to receive a first set of input parameters associated with plurality of attributes of the entity. Further, a second set of input parameters are received from a second entity and are associated with the first set of input parameters of the entity. The received first set of input parameters and the received second set of input parameters are analyzed to determine at least one of a health label for the entity. Then, a health score is assigned for at least one of the health label for the entity. The health score is assigned based on a food item to be recommended. Upon, the assigned health score lying within a predefined threshold, the food item is recommended to the entity.
