ALEXANDRIA, Va., Jan. 20 -- United States Patent no. 12,530,508, issued on Jan. 20, was assigned to Zoox Inc. (Foster City, Calif.).

"Synthetic generation of simulation scenarios and probability-based simulation evaluation" was invented by Andraz Kavalar (San Francisco).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Techniques are discussed herein for generating and evaluating driving simulations based on synthetic scenarios. Simulated objects may be controlled based on parameters determining the attributes and behaviors of the objects, and scenarios may be synthetically modified by changing the parameters for a simulated object. For a driving scenario with a synthetic simulated object, a simulation system ma...
