Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Aspects and implementations of the present disclosure relate to performance and safety improvements for autonomous trucking systems, such as mitigation of blind spots in the field of view of a sensing system of an autonomous vehicle, using shielding by other vehicles in adverse weather conditions, and deploying a cooperative expansion of the sensing field of view using external sensing systems.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A method to operate a traveling autonomous vehicle (AV), the method comprising: shifting, using an AV control system, the AV in a first direction that is lateral to a direction of motion of the AV and exposing a first portion of an occluded, by a body of the AV, region of an environment of the AV to a first sensor of a sensing system of the AV; receiving, by a data processing system of the AV, sensing data from the sensing system, wherein the sensing da…
