Patent Applications by Waymo LLC
Inventor(s): Khaled Refaat of Mountain View CA (US) for waymo llc, Nigamaa Nayakanti of San Jose CA (US) for waymo llc
IPC Code(s): B60W60/00
CPC Code(s): B60W60/00274
Abstract: methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for intervention behavior prediction. one of the methods includes receiving data characterizing a scene that includes a first agent and a second agent in an environment and receiving intervention data specifying a planned intervention to be performed by the second agent. a conditional behavior prediction output that assigns, to each of a plurality of possible future behaviors, (i) a respective conditional likelihood that the first agent performs the possible future behavior given that the second agent performs the planned intervention and (ii) a predicted value of a confounder variable for the possible future behavior is generated using a conditional behavior prediction model. an intervention behavior prediction for the first agent is generated by, for each possible future behavior, generating a corrected likelihood for the possible future behavior based on the respective conditional likelihood for the possible future behavior and the predicted value of the confounder variable for the possible future behavior.
20250068209. Timebase Synchronization Using Pulsed Signal Injection_simplified_abstract_(waymo llc)
Inventor(s): David Sobel of Los Altos CA (US) for waymo llc, Pieter Kaspenberg of Santa Clara CA (US) for waymo llc, Pierre-Yves Droz of Los Altos CA (US) for waymo llc, Srikanth Muroor of Mountain View CA (US) for waymo llc
IPC Code(s): G06F1/12
CPC Code(s): G06F1/12
Abstract: a method and system to provide timebase synchronization for multiple processors in a multi-processor sensor system, where each processor operates according to a respective reference clock, and where the processors' respective reference clocks are off sync from each other. an example method includes simultaneously injecting a synchronization pulse respectively into the multiple processors. further, the method includes recording for each processor, according to the processor's respective reference clock, a respective synchronization-pulse timestamp of the simultaneously injected synchronization pulse, comparing the respective synchronization-pulse timestamps recorded for the processors, and, based on the comparing, computing for each processor a respective time offset. additionally, the method includes using the per-processor computed time offsets as a basis to provide a synchronized timebase across the processors.
20250069506. IDENTIFYING PARKABLE AREAS FOR AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES_simplified_abstract_(waymo llc)
Inventor(s): Chi Yeung Jonathan Ng of San Francisco CA (US) for waymo llc, Anthony Ronald Grue of Thousand Oaks CA (US) for waymo llc, Qichi Yang of Foster City CA (US) for waymo llc, Kevin Poulet of Mountain View CA (US) for waymo llc, Zijian Guo of Sunnyvale CA (US) for waymo llc, David Harrison Silver of San Carlos CA (US) for waymo llc
IPC Code(s): G08G1/14, G06N5/04, G06N20/00
CPC Code(s): G08G1/143
Abstract: aspects of the disclosure provide for the identification of parkable areas. in one instance, observations of parked vehicles may be identified from logged data. the observations may be used to determine whether a sub-portion of an edge of a roadgraph corresponds to a parkable area. in some examples, the edge may define a drivable area in the roadgraph. in addition, map information is generated based on the determination of whether the sub-portion of the edge corresponds to the parkable area.
