ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 16 -- United States Patent no. 12,499,292, issued on Dec. 16, was assigned to Zoox Inc. (Foster City, Calif.).
"Parameterized object controllers in driving simulations" was invented by Tod Cameron Semple (Woodside, Calif.) and Nathan David Shemonski (San Mateo, Calif.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Techniques are discussed herein for executing simulations with parameterized object controllers to control smart agents, to evaluate the agent realism of the smart agents and to validate the efficacy of the simulations. A simulation system may analyze log data captured by a vehicle operating in a physical environment, to determine observable and non-observable behavior charact...
