Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to autonomous vehicles comprising at least one interior compartment including: at least one table; at least one seating unit; at least one closet; at least one window configured to transition between a substantially transparent state and a substantially opaque state and to display at least navigational information; at least one vanity; at least one storage area; or combinations thereof; wherein the vehicle is configured to operate in at least an autonomous mode. In some instance, the vehicle may not include steering equipment (e.g., steering wheel) and/or acceleration or deceleration equipment (e.g., a gas or brake pedal).

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include systems and methods for engaging in an emergency autonomous driving mode for assisted-driving vehicles. The vehicle may include a non-emergency driving mode and an emergency autonomous driving mode, where the vehicle includes an electronic control unit for controlling an operation of the vehicle. The electronic control unit may determine a driving mode of the vehicle, receive a request to revert from the non-emergency driving mode to the emergency autonomous driving mode; and revert back to the non-emergency driving mode when select predetermined conditions are satisfied.

Abstract: A system included and a computer-implemented method performed in one of a plurality of self-driving vehicles that are connected through a network are described. The system performs: processing image data of one or more scene images received by said one of the plurality of self-driving vehicles, to detect one or more objects included in the one or more scene images; determining a target object from the one or more detected objects at least based on the processed image data; predicting movement of the target object at least based on a current position and a current movement state of the target object; and performing a self-driving operation to drive said one of the plurality of self-driving vehicles based on the predicted movement of the target object.

Abstract: A lens mount apparatus mountable on a vehicle and a method for controlling a lens mount apparatus are described. The lens mount apparatus includes a plurality of lenses concentrically arranged around a center, and the plurality of lenses include a first lens having a first focal length and a second lens having a second focal length that is shorter than the first focal length. The method includes positioning one of the plurality of lenses, such that one of the lenses that has a focal length suitable for capturing an object is used for image capturing.

Abstract: Systems and methods directed to projecting a current trajectory path of the autonomous vehicle on a surface of road is disclosed. In some embodiments, an autonomous vehicle with a light projector is disclosed, where the light projector is on a top surface of an autonomous vehicle. Additionally, in some embodiments, the autonomous vehicle may include an electronic control unit for controlling an operation of the light projector, where the electronic control unit detects whether the autonomous vehicle is turned on. In further embodiments, the electronic control unit receives data of an environmental condition surrounding the autonomous vehicle and receives an upcoming trajectory path of the autonomous vehicle. The electronic control unit may also project a light from the light projector onto a surface of a road indicating the upcoming trajectory path of the autonomous vehicle.
