A vehicle according to the present disclosure includes a first riding space and a second riding space, each of which is a riding position on one side and the other side of a right side and a left side with respect to a front-rear direction, respectively, and is configured to: acquire a traveling route; identify a side where a landscape viewed from the vehicle is good from among the right side and the left side with respect to a traveling direction; identify a preferential space in which a degree of preferential treatment of a passenger riding in the first riding space or the second riding space is high; and determine the forward direction and the backward direction when the vehicle travels on the traveling route such that the preferential space is set to the side where the landscape viewed from the vehicle is good.

A remote operation control method for controlling a remote operation of a moving body is provided. A video captured by a camera mounted on the moving body is transmitted to a remote operator terminal on a side of a remote operator remotely operating the moving body. The remote operation control method includes: setting an upper limit speed of the moving body during the remote operation to be lower as a quality of the video transmitted from the moving body to the remote operator terminal becomes lower or as an encoding and decoding time of the video becomes longer; and limiting a speed of the moving body during the remote operation to the upper limit speed or less regardless of an operation amount input by the remote operator.

Systems and methods for fleet management of remote driving systems may include a plurality of vehicles and a plurality of teleoperators. A fleet management system may receive a plurality of tasks, and may generate or optimize assignment or allocation of the plurality of tasks to various combinations of the vehicles and teleoperators. Because the teleoperators are decoupled from the vehicles, and because the teleoperators may be dynamically coupled to vehicles via network connections to remotely operate vehicles, performance of the plurality of tasks may be optimized to improve cost, time, and efficiency associated with fleet management of remote driving systems.

An aircraft system having a LIDAR system, one or more sensors, and a control unit. The control unit includes processing circuitry configured to calculate during flight a pressure altitude, calibrated airspeed, Mach number, equivalent airspeed, static temperature, static pressure, and dynamic pressure of an aircraft based on a combination of air data measurements from the LIDAR system and the one or more sensors.

A method is provided, comprising: (i) receiving, at a system, from an autonomous vehicle: (a) sensor data captured by a sensor of the vehicle, and (b) output data generated based on environmental data captured by one or more sensors of the vehicle and used by a planning component to navigate in an environment, (ii) causing one or more displays to display at least one of: a representation of the sensor data, or a model of the environment based on the output data, (iii) determining a location of a feature within the sensor data or the model, (iv) causing the one or more displays to display an indication of the feature at a position corresponding to the location, (v) receiving, at the system, user input, and (vi) sending, by the system to the vehicle, data based on the user input to cause the vehicle to take an action.

The present disclosure relates generally to flight control of electric aircraft and other powered aerial vehicles. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed, comprising: receiving a descent rate command from a pilot input device, determining a proximity of each propeller of at least two propellers to a vortex ring state; and controlling the aircraft's descent rate to be less than the commanded descent rate when at least one of the at least two propellers is within a first threshold proximity to the vortex ring state.

A method and a device for managing a control authority of a vehicle are disclosed. The method may include: based on an event in which an autonomous driving operation is not feasible, transmitting, to a first user terminal having an administrative control authority associated with the vehicle, a request message including an indication for a first user of the first user terminal to select a subject to take over a control authority of the vehicle while the first user is not present in the vehicle; acquiring a restriction policy for manual driving of the vehicle by a second user, wherein the second user other than the first user is selected as the subject to take over the control authority; and controlling, based on a limited control authority granted to the second user, a maneuver of the vehicle within a range indicated by the restriction policy.

Methods, apparatuses, and systems for navigating vehicles along a roadway are described. A transportation system can control a set of autonomous vehicles navigating along a section of a roadway by providing a set of moving position-targets. The set of autonomous vehicles includes a first vehicle following a first moving position-target. The system determines a priority path for a second vehicle having a right-of-way priority along the section of the roadway, and associated with an exclusion area. The system then determines, based on location information for the first vehicle, that the first vehicle interferes with the exclusion area. A revised moving position-target is configured to remove the first vehicle from the exclusion area. The system then transmits, to the first vehicle, route information corresponding to the revised moving position-target, causing the first vehicle to avoid the exclusion area.

A system and a method for detecting and protecting an aircraft against inappropriate piloting by a pilot potentially experiencing spatial disorientation related to a somatogravic illusion. The method includes: obtaining flight information and status information; estimating a current value of a perceived longitudinal attitude based on the flight information; computing a difference between the current value of the perceived longitudinal attitude and a current value of an actual longitudinal attitude; and then determining, when this deviation is greater than or equal to a predetermined longitudinal attitude deviation threshold, whether a piloting action performed by the pilot is inappropriate based on the status information of the aircraft; and then activating, when the performed piloting action is inappropriate, a protective measure.

A vehicle includes an autonomous driving system and a vehicle platform that controls the vehicle according to commands from the automated driving system. The autonomous driving system is configured to send to the vehicle platform commands for autonomous driving, which is autonomous driving of the vehicle alone, and commands for remote driving, which is automatic driving based on signals from outside the vehicle. The vehicle is configured to be operable in an automatic mode, in which the vehicle platform is under control of an autonomous driving system, and in a manual mode, in which the vehicle is under control of a driver. When the vehicle is not in remote operation, switching to remote operation is allowed in manual mode and prohibited in automatic mode.
