  • Publication number: 20230352635
    Abstract: A light-emitting device includes a light-emitting element, a wavelength conversion member, and a light adjustment member. The light-emitting element includes a support substrate, and a first light-emitting portion and a second light-emitting portion disposed adjacent to each other. The wavelength conversion member is configured to perform wavelength conversion of first light emitted from the first light-emitting portion and second light emitted from the second light-emitting portion into third light. The light adjustment member overlaps one of the first light-emitting portion and the second light-emitting portion in a plan view. In the light-emitting element, an emission intensity of the first light at a light emission peak wavelength of the second light is lower than an emission intensity of the second light at the light emission peak wavelength of the second light, during light emission of the light-emitting device.

  • Publication number: 20230229160
    Abstract: A map management system stores map information used by an automated driving vehicle. The automated driving vehicle detects an obstacle based on the map information, or acquires a margin distance when stopping in front of an obstacle based on the map information. When requiring a remote operator's decision about an action with respect to the obstacle, the automated driving vehicle issues a support request that requests the remote operator to give support. The map management system acquires an operator instruction to the automated driving vehicle issued by the remote operator in response to the support request. The map management system estimates a type of the obstacle based on a state of acquisition of the operator instruction or a content of the operator instruction. Then, the map management system updates the map information according to the type of the obstacle.
