ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 11 -- United States Patent no. 12,545,292, issued on Feb. 10, was assigned to Zoox Inc. (Foster City, Calif.).
"Closed loop replay-based simulations" was invented by Rasoul Kabirzadeh (Redwood, Calif.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Techniques for simulating environments are discussed herein. For example, a simulated autonomous vehicle may have simulated sensors to generate simulated sensor data based on log data. Using the log data, a simulated environment for testing a simulated vehicle may be generated. The simulated environment may represent the environment in which the real-world vehicle was operating. The techniques may further include generating simulated sensor da...
