Patent Applications by Waymo LLC
Inventor(s): Matthew Evan Thrasher of Ann Arbor MI (US) for waymo llc, Andre Manfred Strobel of Vancouver WA (US) for waymo llc, Clayton Bryce Jorgensen of East Palo Alto CA (US) for waymo llc
IPC Code(s): B60W50/04, B60W40/02, B60W60/00
CPC Code(s): B60W50/04
Abstract: example embodiments relate to techniques for modifying power consumption of an autonomy system. for instance, a vehicle autonomy system may use sensor data from vehicle sensors to determine information about the surrounding environment and estimate one or more conditions expected for a threshold duration during subsequent navigation of the path by the vehicle. the autonomy system can then adjust operation of one or more of its components (sensors, compute cores, actuators) based on the one or more conditions expected for the threshold duration and power consumption data corresponding to the components. the vehicle can then be controlled based on subsequent sensor data obtained after adjusting operation of the components of the autonomy system thereby increasing the efficiency of the autonomy system in accordance with the vehicle's surrounding environment.

CPC Code(s): G01S13/931
Abstract: example embodiments relate to techniques that involve detecting and mitigating automotive interference. electromagnetic signals propagating in the environment can be received by a radar unit that limits the signals received to a particular angle of arrival with reception antennas that limit the signals received to a particular polarization. filters can be applied to the signals to remove portions that are outside an expected time range and an expected frequency range that depend on radar signal transmission parameters used by the radar unit. in addition, a model representing an expected electromagnetic signal digital representation can be used to remove portions of the signals that are indicative of spikes and plateaus associated with signal interference. a computing device can then generate an environment representation that indicates positions of surfaces relative to the vehicle using the remaining portions of the signals.
