ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 28 -- United States Patent no. 12,691,909, issued on July 28, was assigned to Waymo LLC (Mountain View, Calif.).

"Utilizing multiple machine learning models with autonomous vehicles" was invented by Khaled Refaat (Mountain View, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "The described aspects and implementations enable efficient utilization of multiple machine learning (ML) models with autonomous vehicles (AVs) to quickly and efficiently determine trajectory information of objects in a driving environment. During a time interval, a perception system of an AV generates, using a first ML model, an embedding based on data that characterizes an object's trajectory in the driving ...
