Techniques are disclosed for using neural network architectures to estimate predictive uncertainty measures, which quantify how much trust should be placed in the deep neural network (DNN) results. The techniques include measuring reliable uncertainty scores for a neural network, which are widely used in perception and decision-making tasks in automated driving. The uncertainty measurements are made with respect to both model uncertainty and data uncertainty, and may implement Bayesian neural networks or other types of neural networks.

Robust multimodal sensor fusion for autonomous driving vehicles

A communication device for a vehicle to communicate features about the vehicle's environment includes one or more processors configured to receive a communication from another device, wherein the communication includes a global reference coordinate system for an area covered by the other device and a number of allowed transmissions to be sent from the vehicle; transform stored data about the vehicle's environment based on the global reference coordinate system; divide the transformed stored data into a plurality of subsets of data; and select one or more subsets of data from the plurality of subsets for transmission according to the number of allowed transmissions.

Devices and methods for updating maps in autonomous driving systems in bandwidth constrained networks

Vehicle navigation control systems in autonomous driving rely on accurate predictions of objects within the vicinity of the vehicle to appropriately control the vehicle safely through its surrounding environment. Accordingly this disclosure provides methods and devices which implement mechanisms for obtaining contextual variables of the vehicle's environment for use in determining the accuracy of predictions of objects within the vehicle's environment.

Devices and methods for accurately identifying objects in a vehicle's environment

Vehicle navigation control systems in autonomous driving rely on the accuracy of maps which include features about a vehicle's environment so that a vehicle may safely navigate through its surrounding area. Accordingly, this disclosure provides methods and devices which implement mechanisms for communicating features observed about a vehicle's environment for use in updating maps so as to provide vehicles with accurate and 'real-time' features of its surroundings while taking network resources, such as available frequency-time resources, into consideration.

A safety system for a vehicle may include one or more processors configured to determine uncertainty data indicating uncertainty in one or more predictions from a driving model during operation of a vehicle; change or update one or more of the driving model parameters to one or more changed or updated driving model parameters based on the determined uncertainty data; and provide the one or more changed or updated driving model parameters to a control system of the vehicle for controlling the vehicle to operate in accordance with the driving model including the one or more changed or updated driving model parameters.

According to various embodiments, devices, methods, and computer-readable media for reconstructing a 3D scene are described. A server device, sensor devices, and client devices may interoperate to reconstruct a 3D scene sensed by the sensor devices. The server device may generate one or more models for objects in the scene, including the identification of dynamic and/or static objects. The sensor devices may, provide model data updates based on these generated models, such that only delta changes in the scene may be provided, in addition to raw sensor data. Models may utilize semantic knowledge, such as knowledge of the venue or identity of one or more persons in the scene, to further facilitate model generation and updating. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
