  • Publication number: 20240166245
    Abstract: A diagnostic system of a vehicle may evaluate the output of a first monitor configured to identify conflicts with forecasts for objects in proximity to the vehicle generated by a first processor based on perception information that indicates the objects to determine whether there is a conflict with a forecast for an object of the objects in proximity to the vehicle. The diagnostic system may evaluate the output of a second monitor configured to identify conflicts with instructions for controlling an operation of the vehicle generated by a second processor based on the perception information to determine whether there is a conflict with the instruction. The diagnostic system may provide instruction for causing the vehicle to execute a maneuver responsive a conflict with the forecast for the object, the conflict with the instruction for controlling the operation of the vehicle, and/or the like.

  • Publication number: 20240010211
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer program products for selectively using vehicle trajectories. The methods comprise: receiving a vehicle trajectory (VT) prior to being used to generate motion commands (MCs) for a vehicle; identifying software and/or hardware components of the vehicle that produced data used to generate VT; determining whether a fault condition exists that is associated with VT based on (i) a detection that the software/hardware component(s) did or did not experience a fault or operational condition of a type while producing the data used to generate VT and/or (ii) a detection that VT would or would not cause violation of limit(s) for an operational parameter of the vehicle; selecting VT when the fault condition does not exist or another VT when the fault condition does exist; and causing the motion commands to be generated using VT or the another VT which was selected.

  • Patent number: 9767603
    Abstract: In order to process 3D input image data for a display of images on at least one display unit, the 3D input image data are provided scene-by-scene in accordance with an associated 3D image scene. The 3D input image data are each fed to a scene processing unit for management and processing. The 3D input image data are processed scene-by-scene in the scene processing unit, wherein at least two 3D image scenes are at least partially superposed and a whole 3D scene is formed and managed. Several 3D output scenes are derived from the whole 3D scene, for which 3D output scenes the superposition occurs in accordance with different perspective locations of observation and 3D output image data are produced in the process. The 3D output image data are fed to at least one rendering unit, which is associated with the display unit, for the production of target image data adapted to the display unit.
