Feedback for an autonomous vehicle
A controller receives sensor data during a ride and provides it to a server system. A passenger further provides feedback concerning the ride in the form of some or all of an overall rating, flagging of ride anomalies, and flagging of road anomalies. The sensor data and feedback are input to a training algorithm, such as a deep reinforcement learning algorithm, which updates an artificial intelligence (AI) model. The updated model is then propagated to controllers of one or more autonomous vehicle which then perform autonomous navigation and collision avoidance using the updated AI model.
ROAD SURFACE INFORMATION PRODUCING APPARATUS AND VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM
The cloud includes a server and a storage device. The storage device includes a road surface information map. When a first sampling distance is equal to or longer than a first distance threshold, the server performs re-sampling to interpolate data in such a manner that sampling positions located at a second sampling distance and unsprung mass member displacements of the respective sampling positions exist so as to produce re-sampled data-for-producing-map. The server stores a sub-sectional unsprung mass displacement in a storage area corresponding to a sub-section of the road surface information map, based on the re-sampled data-for-producing-map.

Method, Apparatus, Device and Computer-Readable Medium for Trajectory Compression
The present invention discloses a method, apparatus, device and computer-readable medium for trajectory compression, and relates to the technical field of computers. One specific implementation of the method comprises: screening, among trajectory points of a traveling trajectory, reserved trajectory points of the traveling trajectory according to deviation degrees of the trajectory points from roads; determining, in conjunction with traveling periods of the reserved trajectory points, the reserved trajectory points as key trajectory points, the traveling period being a time interval from a previous trajectory point of the reserved trajectory point to a next trajectory point of the reserved trajectory point; adding the starting point of the traveling trajectory, the key trajectory points and the ending point of the traveling trajectory to a compressed trajectory so as to compress the traveling trajectory. This implementation can reduce the time complexity of compression of trajectory data, and thereby decrease the time consumption for compression.
