A route from a current location of a portable device to a destination is determined, where the route includes a sequence of directed sections. Navigation instructions to guide a user of the portable device along the route to the destination are generated. To this end, candidate navigation landmarks perceptible within a 360-degree range of the current location of the portable device are identified, a navigation landmark disposed in a direction substantially opposite to the direction of the first one in the sequence of directed sections is selected from among the candidate navigation landmarks, and an initial instruction in the navigation instructions is generated and provided via a user interface of the portable device. The initial instruction references the selected navigation landmark.

A vehicle apparatus onboard a vehicle identifies a human operator-free trip trigger corresponding to a human operator-free trip the vehicle is to take. The vehicle is located at an origin location of the human operator-free trip. Responsive to the vehicle apparatus identifying the human operator-free trip trigger, a candidate destination location for the human operator-free trip is identified. A candidate route from the origin location to the candidate destination location is generated. The vehicle apparatus provides a trip request including the candidate route to an approval apparatus. The vehicle apparatus receives a message from the approval apparatus. Responsive to determining that the message comprises an approval of the candidate route, the vehicle apparatus controls one or more systems of the vehicle to cause the vehicle to traverse the candidate route from the origin location to the candidate destination location.

In one aspect, a method for tracking and management of emergency medical services (EMS) responses includes assigning at least one EMS response of the EMS responses to an EMS vehicle, displaying a map at a user interface with an incident location for the at least one EMS response, populating the map with a visual representation of an entire route for the EMS vehicle, including the incident location and a destination for patient transport, and updating, in the visual representation, a status of the EMS vehicle in real-time along the entire route.

A navigation system for providing driving instructions to a driver of a vehicle traveling on a route is provided. The driving instructions are generated by executing a multimodal fusion method that comprises extracting features from sensor measurements, annotating the features with directions for the vehicle to follow the route with respect to objects sensed by the sensors, and encoding the annotated features with a multimodal attention neural network to produce encodings. The encodings are transformed into a common latent space, and the transformed encodings are fused using an attention mechanism producing an encoded representation of the scene. The method further comprises decoding the encoded representation with a sentence generation neural network to generate a driving instruction and submitting the driving instruction to an output device.

Implementations set forth herein relate to an automated assistant that can operate according various driving-optimized modes depending on a degree of confidence that a user is predicted to be traveling in a vehicle. For instance, the automated assistant can automatically operate according to a driving-optimized mode when a prediction that the user is traveling corresponds to a certain degree of confidence. Alternatively, when a prediction that a user is traveling corresponds to lesser degree of confidence, the automated assistant may not operate according to the driving-optimized mode until the user expressly selects to transition the automated assistant into the driving-optimized mode. When the user selects the driving-optimized mode, a driving mode GUI can be rendered with a navigation interface that may include directions to a predicted destination of the user and/or another interface with content suggestions for the user.

The invention relates to a method for calculating an AR overlay of additional information for display on an AR display unit, in particular a head-up display of a vehicle or smart glasses. The AR overlay is used to display a navigation route on the AR display unit. The navigation route is recalculated from time to time by a navigation system. The method is characterized in that the AR overlay is calculated in such a way that the recalculated route is displayed at least at a certain first distance before a branch-off point, and the driver is given an operating option of switching back and forth between the overview of the recalculated route and the previously calculated route.

The disclosed technology provides solutions for facilitating the selection of a parking space by a user of a parking application. A process of the disclosed technology can include steps for monitoring sensor data and location data associated with a user device, retrieving, based on the location data associated with a user device, listing data associated with one or more parking spaces in a vicinity of the user device, and capturing image data that includes at least a portion of the one or more parking spaces. In some aspects, the process may further include steps for overlaying one or more graphical objects onto the image data, wherein the one or more graphical objects are based on the listing data associated with the one or more parking spaces. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

In some embodiments, an electronic device present navigation routes from various perspectives. In some embodiments, an electronic device modifies display of representations of (e.g., physical) objects in the vicinity of a navigation route while presenting navigation directions. In some embodiments, an electronic device modifies display of portions of a navigation route that are occluded by representations of (e.g., physical) objects in a map. In some embodiments, an electronic device presents representations of (e.g., physical) objects in maps. In some embodiments, an electronic device presents representations of (e.g., physical) objects in maps in response to requests to search for (e.g., physical) objects.

A system and method for managing location-based information associated with the oil and gas industry. The system may comprise a computing device connected to a location-based service, wherein the location-based service comprises energy operations data which is associated with a specific geographic location, and wherein the computing device is associated with a graphical map interface. The graphical map interface is configured to display location-based information. The graphical map interface can also be configured to display an indication of the frequency of an event. The location-based information can be associated with a geo-fence.

An aircraft-based or vehicle-based system and method for enhancing situational awareness via a display system for displaying map-based charts (e.g., terminal charts, enroute charts, avionics charts) displays an active map-based chart (specifically an active panel of the map-based chart) and superimposes over the displayed active panel a panel selector display, e.g., a thumbnail display of the active enroute chart with a subset of the information provided by the enroute chart and divided into its component panels. The panel selector display highlights the currently displayed active panel and provides an ownship indicator showing the approximate position of the aircraft or vehicle relative to the currently active enroute chart.
