20240085203.TRIP PLANNING WITH ENERGY CONSTRAINT_simplified_abstract_(tesla, inc.)
Inventor(s): Andrew D. Baglino of San Francisco CA (US) for tesla, inc., Thorsten Hayer of Burlingame CA (US) for tesla, inc., Brennan Boblett of San Francisco CA (US) for tesla, inc., Matthew Fox of Woody Creek CO (US) for tesla, inc., Vineet H. Mehta of Mountain View CA (US) for tesla, inc., Keijiro Ikebe of Cupertino CA (US) for tesla, inc., Kevin Hsieh of Emerald Hills CA (US) for tesla, inc., Craig B.

IPC Code(s): G01C21/34, G01C21/36
Abstract: a method includes: determining, based, at least in part, on a predicted driver characteristic, a first energy-versus-distance measure for a planned driving route of a vehicle, the first energy-versus-distance measure determined using an energy model; presenting the first energy-versus-distance measure on a user interface associated with the vehicle; identifying an already-driven part of the planned driving route; determining, based on information associated with the already-driven part of the planned driving route, a model error associated with the energy model; determining a second energy-versus-distance measure by modifying the first energy-versus-distance measure to account for the model error; and presenting the second energy-versus-distance measure on the user interface associated with the vehicle.
20240085915.AUTONOMOUS DRIVING SYSTEM EMERGENCY SIGNALING_simplified_abstract_(tesla, inc.)
Inventor(s): Michael D. Cave of Austin TX (US) for tesla, inc.
IPC Code(s): G05D1/02, B60Q9/00, H04J3/00, H04J3/16
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.
Inventor(s): Christopher Hsiong of San Jose CA (US) for tesla, inc., Emil Talpes of San Mateo CA (US) for tesla, inc., Debjit Das Sarma of San Jose CA (US) for tesla, inc., Peter Bannon of Woodside CA (US) for tesla, inc., Kevin Hurd of Redwood City CA (US) for tesla, inc., Benjamin Floering of San Jose CA (US) for tesla, inc.
IPC Code(s): G06F11/07, G06F11/30, G06F11/32, G06N3/02
Abstract: a system for handling errors in a neural network includes a neural network processor for executing a neural network associated with use of a vehicle. the neural network processor includes an error detector configured to detect a data error associated with execution of the neural network and a neural network controller configured to receive a report of the data error from the error detector. in response to receiving the report, the neural network controller is further configured to signal that a pending result of the neural network is tainted, without terminating execution of the neural network.
20240088547.MULTI-BAND ANTENNA_simplified_abstract_(tesla, inc.)
Inventor(s): Anand S. Konanur of San Jose CA (US) for tesla, inc., Shreya Singh of La Jolla CA (US) for tesla, inc., Richard Breden of Mountain View CA (US) for tesla, inc., Yasutaka Horiki of Santa Clara CA (US) for tesla, inc., Aycan Erentok of Mountain View CA (US) for tesla, inc., George Zucker of San Francisco CA (US) for tesla, inc., Nagarjun Bhat of Sunnyvale CA (US) for tesla, inc., Rui Moreira of San Jose CA (US) for tesla, inc., Aydin Nabovati of Toronto (CA) for tesla, inc., Rishabh Bhandari of San Carlos CA (US) for tesla, inc., Austin Rothschild of Palo Alto CA (US) for tesla, inc., Jae Hoon Yoo of San Jose CA (US) for tesla, inc., Loic Le Toumelin of Palo Alto CA (US) for tesla, inc.
IPC Code(s): H01Q1/32, B60R1/12, H01Q1/02, H01Q13/10, H01Q15/14
Abstract: a multi-band antenna system is provided. the antenna system can be placed under and embedded within a glass exterior surface of a vehicle. such an antenna system can include a capacitively coupled metallic element on or adjacent to the glass exterior surface, which can serve as both a parasitic element to enhance gain and as a heating element to melt snow and/or ice accumulation over the glass area that covers the antenna. in certain applications, the antenna's structure itself can be used as a heater to improve performance in adverse weather conditions while the heating elements are positioned away from the thermally sensitive electronics. the antenna system with integrated heating can include a spiral antenna.
