In accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure, a system for generating surrounding views includes a controller. The controller may be programmed to perform operations including receiving a status information from a remote source, receiving a surround view system (SVS) request having a set of requirements from a vehicle, identifying one or more remote sources based on the status information of the one or more remote sources and the set of requirements of the SVS request, and directing the one or more remote sources to stream SVS data to the vehicle.

A system and method for finding an optimum travel plan for several subsequent destinations. The system can receive several destinations from the user and determine the optimum travel plan. The different destinations can be provided by capturing an address or location from a webpage or uploading an image of the destination.

A trip planning and reservation system and method is disclosed that may include a U.I. software application executing on a computing device (e.g., mobile device). The U.I. software application may transmit the user account information to an external server. The external server may validate the user account information and transmit an access token to the mobile device. An AI algorithm may be operable to predict and select the plurality of digital media files based on operational data that includes the user account information and one or more user interest tags. It is contemplated that the digital media files may include geographic coordinate data and informational data about a location within a pre-defined proximity of the desired travel route. A first file may then be selected from the plurality of digital media files for inclusion within the desired travel route displayed by the U.I. software application.

A vehicle control device includes a recognizer that recognizes a situation around a host vehicle based on a detection result of an object detection device including a camera and an action plan generator that generates an action plan of the host vehicle based on a recognition result of the recognizer about a situation around the host vehicle. The action plan generator generates an action plan for, when it is predicted that the camera will be backlit while the host vehicle is traveling, avoiding that the camera is backlit at a prediction point and a prediction timing when it is predicted that the camera will be backlit.

The subject disclosure relates to techniques for providing augmented reality (AR) navigation guidance to users of an autonomous vehicle (AV) ride hailing service. In some aspects, a method of the disclosed technology includes steps for transmitting an autonomous vehicle (AV) ride request to an AV dispatch service, receiving a ride confirmation indicating that an AV has been dispatched to a rider associated with the mobile device, detecting arrival of the AV at a pick-up location associated with the rider, and initializing augment reality (AR) guidance on the mobile device, wherein the AR guidance is configured to provide the rider with navigation information to facilitate pick-up by the AV. Systems and computer-readable media are also provided.

A computer implemented method for generating traffic pathways that includes recording images from a transportation site with a fixed position camera. The method further includes extracting vehicle point data from the images, and calculating projected vehicle characteristics from the extracted point data to provide an extracted vehicle continuous data set. The method may further include generating a simulated traffic flow and simulated vehicle motion from the extracted vehicle continuous data set. A traffic pathway can be calculated using simulated vehicle motion and simulated traffic flow. The traffic pathway can be used for directing a guided vehicle on the transportation site.

A video record system and an operation method thereof are provided. The video record system includes at least one camera and a controller connected with the at least one camera. The controller records a video around a vehicle using the at least one camera, records location information of the vehicle when recording the video, and provides a list of videos recorded according to a driving situation of the vehicle.

A system is provided for providing location-specific images to a mobile device for display. The system generally comprises three components: a mobile device having a screen, a position identification system (e.g., a GPS receiver) that determines the position of the mobile device, and a database containing location-specific images taken at various locations. Each location-specific image is associated with geographic coordinates of the location at which the image was taken. Based on the position of the mobile device as determined by the position identification system, a location-specific image is selected from the database and displayed on the screen of the mobile device. For example, when a user is using the mobile device as a car navigation system, a location-specific image of the user's destination location can be selected and displayed when the determined position of the mobile device comes within a certain distance from the geographic coordinates of the destination location.

A vehicle system is disclosed. The system may comprise an imager, a location sensor, a controller, and a display. The imager may be operable to capture a first video having a plurality of frames with field of view exterior the vehicle. The location sensor may be operable to determine the vehicle's location. The controller may be operable to associate the location of the vehicle with a plurality of the plurality of frames where the location substantially corresponds to the vehicle's location when each respective frame was captured. Additionally, the controller may be further operable to store one or more video clips, each comprising a series of frames. The display may be operable to simultaneously show one of the video clips and a map of an area substantially encompassing all the locations of the vehicle associated with the first frames included in the shown video clip.

A computing device receives data regarding a destination, a current GPS location, map data of the current location and destination, and a direction and angle of view of an augmented reality display device. The computing device accesses social media content related to an area that includes the location and the destination, and analyzes the content to determine recent conditions and attributes associated with the location and destination area. The computing device determines a path from the location to the destination based on the map data, the current location and destination, and the social media content. The computing device sends information to display a virtual image of the path overlaid on a real-world view of the augmented reality display device, based on the direction of view and the incline level of view, of the augmented reality display device.
