  • Publication number: 20230068703
    Abstract: A system for estimating a spacing profile for a road agent includes a first module and a second module. The first module includes instructions that cause one or more processors to receive data related to characteristics of the road agent and road agent behavior detected in an environment of an autonomous vehicle, initiate an analysis of the road agent behavior, and estimate the spacing profile of the road agent as part of the analysis. The spacing profile includes a lateral gap preference and predicted behaviors of the road agent related to changes in lateral gap. The second module includes instructions that cause the one or more processors to determine one or more components of autonomous vehicle maneuver based on the estimated spacing profile and send control instructions for performing the autonomous vehicle maneuver.

  • Patent number: 11258585
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can receive a message transmitted over a robotics framework implemented on a vehicle. A determination can be made that the message satisfies criteria for multi-threaded hashing. The message can be divided into two or more message segments. A hash can be independently computed for each message segment of the two or more message segments to generate two or more message segment hashes. A message hash can be determined for the message based on the two or more message segment hashes.

  • Publication number: 20210304018
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can receive a context comprising attributes associated with an agent. The attributes associated with the agent can be determined based at least in part on sensor data captured by at least one vehicle. A plurality of trajectory prediction algorithms to be applied to the agent can be evaluated to generate a plurality of performance metrics associated with the plurality of trajectory prediction algorithms. A particular trajectory prediction algorithm of the plurality of trajectory prediction algorithms that is to be applied to the agent can be determined based on evaluating the context against the plurality of performance metrics. The context can be associated with a particular cluster of a plurality of clusters of contexts such that the particular trajectory prediction algorithm is associated with the particular cluster.

  • Patent number: 11076022
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can initiate a robotics framework configured to enable inter-process communications between a plurality of services implemented on the robotics framework, the plurality of services configured to operate at least some features of a vehicle. A function call is received from a first service of the plurality of services. The function call instructs the robotics framework to generate a network socket. A virtual network socket configured to receive data from a data log is generated based on the function call. The virtual network socket simulates data transmission with a hardware device over a real network socket.
