Patent Applications by Tesla, Inc.
20250010760. VEHICLE RESOURCE CAPACITY MANAGEMENT_simplified_abstract_(tesla, inc.)
Inventor(s): Frederic Marangone of Louisville CO (US) for tesla, inc., Nicolas Altenburger of Los Altos CA (US) for tesla, inc., Christopher Satkoski of San Jose CA (US) for tesla, inc.
IPC Code(s): B60L58/13, B60L58/16
CPC Code(s): B60L58/13
Abstract: the present disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for managing a battery of an electric vehicle. in some embodiments, a system initiates battery discharging on a battery pack, where the battery discharging continues until the battery pack reaches a first threshold level of charge. the system then estimates a first state of charge of the battery pack based at least on a first sensor reading associated with the battery pack. the system initiates battery charging on the battery pack, where the battery charging continues until the battery pack reaches a second threshold level of charge. the system estimates a second state of charge of the battery pack based at least on a second sensor reading associated with the battery pack. the system generates a processing result that indicates a capacity of the battery pack based at least on the first state of charge and the second state of charge.
20250013234. AUTONOMOUS DRIVING SYSTEM EMERGENCY SIGNALING_simplified_abstract_(tesla, inc.)
Inventor(s): Michael D. Cave of Austin TX (US) for tesla, inc.
IPC Code(s): G05D1/00, B60Q9/00, G05D1/227, G05D1/24, G05D1/617, G06N3/08, H04J3/00, H04J3/16
CPC Code(s): G05D1/0214
Abstract: a vehicular autonomous driving system includes a time division multiplexed (tdm) bus, an autonomous driving (ad) controller coupled to the tdm bus, and a plurality of ad sensors coupled to the tdm bus. the ad sensors are configured to collect ad data and transmit collected ad data to the ad controller on the tdm bus in an assigned time slot at a first power level. a first ad sensor of the plurality of ad sensors is configured to, based upon collected ad data, detect an ad emergency event. in response to the detection, the first ad sensor is configured to transmit an ad emergency message on the tdm bus in a non-assigned time slot and at a second power level that exceeds the first power level. the ad sensor may transmit the ad emergency message in a particular sub-slot of the non-assigned time slot.
