A system and method for an on-demand shuttle, bus, or taxi service able to operate on private and public roads provides situational awareness and confidence displays. The shuttle may include ISO 26262 Level 4 or Level 5 functionality and can vary the route dynamically on-demand, and/or follow a predefined route or virtual rail. The shuttle is able to stop at any predetermined station along the route. The system allows passengers to request rides and interact with the system via a variety of interfaces, including without limitation a mobile device, desktop computer, or kiosks. Each shuttle preferably includes an in-vehicle controller, which preferably is an AI Supercomputer designed and optimized for autonomous vehicle functionality, with computer vision, deep learning, and real time ray tracing accelerators. An AI Dispatcher performs AI simulations to optimize system performance according to operator-specified system parameters.

Systems and methods for computer-assisted shuttles, buses, robo-taxis, ride-sharing and on-demand vehicles with situational awareness

An embodiment of the invention includes a first pseudo-random number generator that is configured to produce a first sequence of values at a first clock rate. Also, a second pseudo-random number generator is configured to produce a second sequence of values at a second clock rate. The second clock rate is based on the first sequence of values and the first clock rate. A logical module is connected to the first pseudo-random number generator and the second pseudo-random number generator. The logical module is configured to produce an output value based on at least a portion of a value from the first sequence of values and at least a portion of a value from the second sequence of values.

Random number generator with improved uniformity for networking
