Sound signals are received by one or more microphones disposed at an ADV. The sound signals are analyzed to extract a feature of a road on which the ADV is driving. A road condition of the road is determined based on the extracted feature. A path planning and speed planning is performed to generate a trajectory based on the road condition. The ADV is controlled to drive autonomously according to the generated trajectory.

Audio-based technique to sense and detect the road condition for autonomous driving vehicles

A data processing system includes a host system and one or more expansion devices coupled to the host system over a bus. The host system may include one or more processors and a memory storing instructions, which when executed, cause the processors to perform autonomous driving operations to drive an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV). Each expansion device includes a switch device and one or more processing modules coupled to the switch device. Each processing module can be configured to perform at least one of the autonomous driving operations offloaded from the host system. At least one of the processing modules can be configured as a client node to perform an action in response to an instruction received from the host system. Alternatively, it can be configured as a host node to distribute a task to another client node within the expansion device. This host node in the expansion device can further cooperate with the host system via a host-to-host connection.

Autonomous driving computing and storage expansion device with flexible host and client configuration

According to one embodiment, in response to a search query received from a client device for searching content, one or more first keywords are determined from the search query. A lookup operation is performed in an image-to-keyword (image/keyword) mapping table based on the first keywords. The image/keyword mapping table includes a plurality of entries, each entry mapping an image identifier (ID) identifying an image to one or more second keywords. For each of images identified in the image/keyword mapping table, a matching degree is determined between the first keywords and the second keywords. A ranking process is performed based on matching degrees on a plurality of images identified in the image/keyword mapping table whose second keywords match at least a portion of the first keywords.

Method for dynamically matching images with content items based on keywords in response to search queries

According to one embodiment, in response to a search query received at a server from a client device for searching content, a search is performed in a content database or via a content server based on one or more search terms of the search query to identify a first list of one or more content items. A search is performed in an image store based on the one or more search terms to identify a list of one or more images. Each content item of the first list is associated with one of the images. A second list of one or more content items having at least a portion of the images integrated therein is generated. The second list of content items is transmitted to the client device, such that each content item of the first list is presented with one of the images.

Method for selecting images for matching with content based on metadata of images and content in real-time in response to search queries
