Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure relate to determining and responding to an internal state of a self-driving vehicle. For instance, an image of an interior of the vehicle captured by a camera mounted in the vehicle is received. The image is processed in order to identify one or more visible markers at predetermined locations within the vehicle. The internal state of the vehicle is determined based on the identified one or more visible markers. A responsive action is identified action using the determined internal state, and the vehicle is controlled in order to perform the responsive action.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- generating, by one or more processors, a model;
- training, by the one or more processors, the model, wherein the training is performed with images of different interiors of vehicles that are in a default state;
- and
- sending, by the one or more processors, the trained model to a vehicle, wherein the trained model is configured to output an indication associated with an occupancy of the vehicle.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors configured to:
- generate a model;
- train the model, wherein the training is performed with images of different interiors of vehicles that are in a default state;
- and
- send the trained model to a vehicle, wherein the trained model is configured to output an indication associated with an occupancy of the vehicle.
A non-transitory computer readable medium on which instructions are stored, the instructions being configured to perform a method comprising:
- generating a model;
- training the model, wherein the training is performed with images of different interiors of vehicles that are in a default state;
- and
- sending the trained model to a vehicle, wherein the trained model is configured to output an indication associated with an occupancy of the vehicle.
