Patent number: 12735069Abstract: A system and method for an on-demand shuttle, bus, or taxi service able to operate on private and public roads provides situational awareness and confidence displays. The shuttle may include ISO 26262 Level 4 or Level 5 functionality and can vary the route dynamically on-demand, and/or follow a predefined route or virtual rail. The shuttle is able to stop at any predetermined station along the route. The system allows passengers to request rides and interact with the system via a variety of interfaces, including without limitation a mobile device, desktop computer, or kiosks. Each shuttle preferably includes an in-vehicle controller, which preferably is an AI Supercomputer designed and optimized for autonomous vehicle functionality, with computer vision, deep learning, and real time ray tracing accelerators. An AI Dispatcher performs AI simulations to optimize system performance according to operator-specified system parameters.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2024Date of Patent: September 15, 2026Assignee: NVIDIA CorporationInventors: Gary Hicok, Michael Cox, Miguel Sainz, Martin Hempel, Ratin Kumar, Timo Roman, Gordon Grigor, David Nister, Justin Ebert, Chin-Hsien Shih, Tony Tam, Ruchi Bhargava

Patent number: 12644964Abstract: In various examples, detected object data representative of locations of detected objects in a field of view may be determined. One or more clusters of the detected objects may be generated based at least in part on the locations and features of the cluster may be determined for use as inputs to a machine learning model(s). A confidence score, computed by the machine learning model(s) based at least in part on the inputs, may be received, where the confidence score may be representative of a probability that the cluster corresponds to an object depicted at least partially in the field of view. Further examples provide approaches for determining ground truth data for training object detectors, such as for determining coverage values for ground truth objects using associated shapes, and for determining soft coverage values for ground truth objects.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2024Date of Patent: June 2, 2026Assignee: NVIDIA CorporationInventors: Tommi Koivisto, Pekka Janis, Tero Kuosmanen, Timo Roman, Sriya Sarathy, William Zhang, Nizar Assaf, Colin Tracey
