A computer implemented method for evaluating autonomous vehicle safety that includes defining criteria for safety of autonomous vehicles in a test space, and dividing the test space into an intended test space and a un-intended test space for the criteria for safety of autonomous vehicles. The intended test space includes characterizations for the autonomous vehicle that can be quantified, and the un-intended test space includes characterizations that are not quantifiable. The method further includes measuring the safety of the autonomous vehicles in the intended test space. The applying the un-intended test space is applied to the intended test space as feedback into the intended test space; and evaluating the intended test space including the feedback from the unintended test space using a combined simulation of peripheral vehicles and autonomous vehicles to provide the evaluation of autonomous vehicle safety.

Autonomous driving evaluation using data analysis

A system for providing automatic off-line availability of shared document content linked in electronic mail ('email') messages. Documents indicated by links in processed email messages may accessed when a client system user is working either online or offline. A software component operates to read through email messages sent to a client system user, and to locate messages including links to content stored on the server system. The software component accesses the content indicated by the links contained in the email messages, and moves the content onto the client system for offline access. The software component may include a periodically scheduled agent, and/or a component that is called just prior to the client system or email application going offline.

Automatic off-line availability for document content linked in electronic mail messages

A system that enables users to conveniently and intuitively send email messages that automatically publish information in appropriate shared content sources. The system allows users to send email messages to shared sources based on keywords within text entered as destination email addresses. The shared sources register interest in certain topics by registering keywords with the email server system. An email server program then sends the email messages it receives for publication to the appropriate shared source(s) based on matching text in the destination address fields of the received messages with the keywords registered by the shared sources.

Publication to shared content sources using natural language electronic mail destination addresses and interest profiles registered by the shared content sources
