Patent number: 11977874Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring use, determining risk, and pricing insurance policies for a vehicle having one or more autonomous or semi-autonomous operation features are provided. According to certain aspects, an identity of a vehicle operator may be determined and a vehicle operator profile and/or operating data regarding autonomous operation features of the vehicle may be received after the vehicle operator opts into a rewards program and agrees to share their data. Autonomous operation and vehicle operator risk levels associated with operation of the autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle may be determined. Based upon the risk levels and/or comparison thereof, one or more autonomous operation features may be disengaged. A preparedness level of the vehicle operator to assume or reassume control of operating the vehicle is determined prior to disengagement. If satisfactory, an alert is presented to the vehicle operator prior to disengagement of the autonomous operation features.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2022Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance CompanyInventors: Brian Mark Fields, Chien Che Huang, Mohamed A.

Patent number: 11954482Abstract: According to certain aspects, a computer-implemented method for operating an autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle may be provided. With the customer's permission, an identity of a vehicle operator may be identified and a vehicle operator profile may be retrieved. Operating data regarding autonomous operation features operating the vehicle may be received from vehicle-mounted sensors. When a request to disable an autonomous feature is received, a risk level for the autonomous feature is determined and compared with a driver behavior setting for the autonomous feature stored in the vehicle operator profile. Based upon the risk level comparison, the autonomous vehicle retains control of vehicle or the autonomous feature is disengaged depending upon which is the safer driver—the autonomous vehicle or the vehicle human occupant. As a result, unsafe disengagement of self-driving functionality for autonomous vehicles may be alleviated.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance CompanyInventors: Brian Mark Fields, Chien Che Huang, Mohamed A.

Patent number: 11753039Abstract: A collaborative autonomous ground vehicle or robot for traversing a ground surface is disclosed. The robot is a wheeled vehicle includes two camera groups and other sensors to sense the environment in which the robot will operate. The robot includes a control system configured to operate in a teach mode to learn a route by either following a person or preceding a person and to store the learned route as a taught route. The control system is configured for identifying persons and objects, such as obstacles, within the fields of view of the camera groups. When the robot is in its repeat mode it will take the taught route over the ground surface and take appropriate action if an obstacle is identified in the field of view.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2019Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: Augean Robotics, Inc.Inventors: Terry Scott, Berkay Ilhan, Vibhor Sood, Charles Andersen

Patent number: 11270678Abstract: A guitar positioning device, including a strip of resilient or flexible material, such as formed or molded from rubber, or polymer, can be adhered to the lower or lateral edges of the guitar, or banjo, in which it is used, while the exposed surface of the device will frictionally engage upon the legs of the musician, so as to prevent slippage of the instrument during its usage and application. The positioning device can be adhered by integral suction cups, at least two in number, or by an adhesive, a double sided tape, or even hook and pile fastening means, or rivet, in order to secure the positioning device to the exposed edge of the instrument that rests upon the legs of the musician, during a performance.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2021Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Inventor: Terry Scott Jarvis
