The following relates generally to data retrieval and user authentication. In some embodiments, a user is authenticated in a native mobile application. The native mobile application then obtains an authorization code, and calls an application programming interface (API) to store contextual data about the user. The API then returns, to the native mobile application, a retrieval data token. The native mobile application then launches a chat application via a universal resource identifier (URI), and passes an identification (ID) parameter to the chat application. The chat application then passes the ID parameter to a customer service provider, which then retrieves an access token based upon the authorization code. The customer service provider then retrieves, from the API, the contextual data based upon the: (i) access token, and (ii) retrieval data token.

Systems and methods for user authentication

Techniques include a method of providing a user interface on a device. The user interface has at least a first display portion, a second display portion and a third display portion, the second display portion including a link to the third display portion that, when activated by a user, cause the device to present the third display portion of the user interface, the first display portion not including the link to the third display portion. The method includes causing the first display portion to be displayed. The method further includes receiving audible input while the first display portion is being displayed. The method further includes determining that the third display portion corresponds to an utterance in the audible input based at least in part on labels determined to match the utterance. The method further includes causing the third display portion to be displayed.

Using voice input to control a user interface within an application

Systems and methods for real-time detection and mitigation anomalous behavior of a remote vehicle are provided, e.g., vehicle behavior that is consistent with distracted or unexpectedly disabled driving. On-board and off-board sensors associated with a subject vehicle may monitor the subject vehicle's environment, and behavior characteristics of a remote vehicle operating within the subject vehicle's environment may be determined based upon collected sensor data. The remote vehicle's behavior characteristics may be utilized to detect or determine the presence of anomalous behavior, which may be anomalous for the current contextual conditions of the vehicles' environment. Mitigating actions for detected remote vehicle anomalous behaviors may be suggested and/or automatically implemented at the subject vehicle and/or at proximate vehicles to avoid or reduce the risk of accidents, injury, or death resulting from the anomalous behavior. In some situations, authorities may be notified.

Technology for real-time detection and mitigation of remote vehicle anomalous behavior

Techniques for a fully- or semi-autonomously operated vehicle (AV) to signal to or notify a third-party located within the vehicle's environment that the vehicle has detected the third-party's presence are provided. The third-party may be a pedestrian or a passenger in another proximate vehicle. Sensors associated with the AV may provide data via which the third-party's presence (and optionally, movement and behavior) is detected, and signaling device(s) on-board the vehicle may transmit audio, visual, and/or electromagnetic signals into the environment to indicate that the vehicle is aware of the third-party's presence. In some situations, a two-way dialog between the signaling device(s) and the third-party may be established to confirm intended behaviors or actions of the vehicle and/or of the third-party. Increased safety and decreased risk of accident or injury may be provided with AVs in a manner that is familiar to third-parties' defensive signaling with drivers of non-autonomous vehicles.
