Abstract: A method for determining a presence of an occupant within a vehicle includes capturing, via a driver facing camera, video image data, including a plurality of image frames of a field-of-view of the driver facing camera. At least one area-of-interest within the image frames is defined, and a foreground pixel count of each image frame of each area-of-interest is determined. At each Nth image frame, an occupancy for each area of interest is determined based at least in part on the foreground pixel count. The occupancy indicates whether the occupant is present or absent in the respective area-of-interest. A history of the occupancy determination for each area-of-interest is maintained, and a final status for each area-of-interest is determined based on the respective history of occupancy. External indicators are initiated based on the final status determination.

Abstract: A system and a method to optimize route plans for handling critical scenarios faced in an operating environment have been described. The system or a platform resolves one or more nodes based on the inputs related to an operating environment. The system plans one or more routes based on the resolved nodes to provide generated route plans. Based on the planning, the system may analyze one or more route plans for critical scenarios, for example, avoiding a collision or minimizing congestion, damage to the robot, performance of vehicle or warehouse, etc. After the route plans are analyzed, the system optimizes one or more route plans to provide optimized route plans. The optimized route plans are distributed to one or more autonomous vehicles. The fleet of autonomous vehicles may then route progress messages and share feedback with the platform.

Abstract: At least one application runs on a hardware platform that includes a plurality of coprocessors, each of which has a respective internal memory space. An intermediate software layer (MVL) is transparent to the application and intercepts calls for coprocessor use. If the data corresponding to an application's call, or separate calls from different entities (including different applications) to the same coprocessor, to the API of a target coprocessor, cannot be stored within the available internal memory space of the target coprocessor, but comprises data subsets that individually can, the MVL intercepts the call response to the application/entities and indicates that the target coprocessor can handle the request. The MVL then transfers the data subsets to the target coprocessor as needed by the corresponding kernel(s) and swaps out each data subset to the internal memory of another coprocessor to make room for subsequently needed data subsets.

Abstract: An embodiment includes determining, based on historical data associated with a specific task, a baseline bandwidth recommendation for completing the specific task. The embodiment assigns, for a first time period, the specific task to a first computing device on a network.

Abstract: Lead to recognition time delay data, leads and sales data, and lead distance data for leads arriving at a system within a time range can be used to determine a time variable close rate and a distance adjustment thereof which, in turn, can be used to generate a predicted close rate for each lead. Using the predicted close rate for each lead, an address drive distance for each lead, and dealer-level discount information, a logistic regression model can be trained to generate a score for each combination of a dealer, make, and zip code. Each score indicates a probability of closing a sale between a lead in the zip code and the dealer in the combination. Scores thus generated can be used by a computing facility in recommending dealers to a consumer in the zip code who has expressed an interest in purchasing a vehicle of the same make.
