CPC Code(s): B60W60/0013
Abstract: aspects of the disclosure relate to enabling playing of content at an autonomous vehicle. for example, a request to transport a user on a trip may be received. the autonomous vehicle may be assigned to the trip. whether the user has enabled a content feature may be determined. in response to determining that the user has enabled the content feature a request for a device identifier is sent to the autonomous vehicle. the device identifier generated at the autonomous vehicle is received. the received device identifier may be sent to a content-enabling computing system including one or more processors in order to enable the user to play content from the client computing device at the autonomous vehicle during the trip.
20240295629. Signal Processing for Near-Field Radar_simplified_abstract_(waymo llc)

IPC Code(s): G01S7/292, G01S13/42, G01S13/931
CPC Code(s): G01S7/2923
Abstract: examples relate to near-field radar filters that can enhance measurements near a radar unit. an example may involve receiving a first set of radar reflection signals at a radar unit coupled to a vehicle and determining a filter configured to offset near-field effects of radar reflection signals received at the radar unit. in some instances, the filter depends on an azimuth angle and a distance for surfaces in the environment causing the first set of radar reflection signals. the example may also involve receiving, at the radar unit, a second set of radar reflection signals and determining, using the filter, an azimuth angle and a distance for surfaces in the environment causing the second set of radar reflection signals. the vehicle may be controlled based in part on the azimuth angle and the distance for the surfaces causing the second plurality of radar reflection signals.
