20240416958. TRAJECTORY LIMITING FOR AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES_simplified_abstract_(waymo llc)
Inventor(s): Jared Russell of San Francisco CA (US) for waymo llc, Jens-Steffen Gutmann of Cupertino CA (US) for waymo llc, Ioan-Alexandru Sucan of East Palo Alto CA (US) for waymo llc
IPC Code(s): B60W60/00, B60W30/08, G01C21/36, G06V20/58
CPC Code(s): B60W60/001
Abstract: aspects of the disclosure provide a method of generating and following planned trajectories for an autonomous vehicle. for instance, a baseline for a planned trajectory that the autonomous vehicle can use to follow a route to a destination may be determined. a stopping point corresponding to a traffic control that will cause the autonomous vehicle to come to a stop using the baseline may be determined. sensor data identifying objects and their locations may be received. a plurality of constraints may be generated based on the sensor data. a planned trajectory may be generated using the baseline, the stopping point, and the plurality of constraints, wherein constraints beyond the stopping point are ignored.

IPC Code(s): G05D1/00, B60K28/04, B60N2/00, B60Q9/00, G01C21/36
CPC Code(s): G05D1/0246
Abstract: aspects of the disclosure relate to determining and responding to an internal state of a self-driving vehicle. for instance, an image of an interior of the vehicle captured by a camera mounted in the vehicle is received. the image is processed in order to identify one or more visible markers at predetermined locations within the vehicle. the internal state of the vehicle is determined based on the identified one or more visible markers. a responsive action is identified action using the determined internal state, and the vehicle is controlled in order to perform the responsive action.
