  • Patent number: 11987241
    Abstract: An autonomous vehicle and a system and method for operating the autonomous vehicle. The system includes a sensor and a processor. A disturbance force or yaw moment is received on the autonomous vehicle. The sensor measures a position of the autonomous vehicle within a lane of a road with respect to road boundaries and lane markings. The processor is configured to resist an effect of a disturbance force or yaw moment received on the autonomous vehicle. The processor minimizes a tracking error between a path of the autonomous vehicle and an initial track lane, wherein resisting the effect creates an inflection point in the path of the autonomous vehicle, establishes a final track lane at a closer of a lateral position of the inflection point and a lane center to the initial track lane, and tracks the path to the final track lane.

    Abstract: The present invention sets forth a method for content responding, a method for content requesting, a content responder and a content requester. A content responder receives a first request from a content requester via a network. Then, the content responder generates a first content based on the first request. Then the content responder receives a second request from the content requester via the network. Then, the content responder generates a second content based on the second request. Next, the content responder compares the second content with the first content. After that, the content responder transmits a second response with regard to the second request to the content requester via the network. The second response is generated based on the result of comparison.
