Patent Applications by Waymo LLC

20250214597. Methods Systems Controlling Gear Shifts based Future Trajectory Information (Waymo LLC)

Abstract: example embodiments relate to controlling gear shifts based on future trajectory information. a vehicle computing system may receive sensor data representing an environment of the vehicle during autonomous navigation of a path and determine, based on the sensor data, the vehicle is approaching a predefined situation positioned along the path. the computing system may then estimate a future acceleration or speed associated with navigation of the predefined situation by the vehicle. the computing system may determine, based on the future acceleration or speed and a current acceleration of the vehicle, whether to perform a gear shift prior to navigation of the predefined situation by the vehicle, and control the vehicle based on determining whether to perform the gear shift prior to navigation of the predefined situation.

20250219730. LIDAR BASED COMMUNICATION (Waymo LLC)

Abstract: systems and methods for performing operations based on lidar communications are described. an example device may include one or more processors and a memory coupled to the one or more processors. the memory includes instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the device to receive data associated with a modulated optical signal emitted by a transmitter of a first lidar device and received by a receiver of a second lidar device coupled to a vehicle and the device, generate a rendering of an environment of the vehicle based on information from one or more lidar devices coupled to the vehicle, and update the rendering based on the received data. updating the rendering includes updating an object rendering of an object in the environment of the vehicle. the instructions further cause the device to provide the updated rendering for display on a display coupled to the vehicle.
