Abstract:
Systems, methods, tangible non-transitory computer-readable media, and devices for operating an autonomous vehicle are provided. For example, a method can include receiving sensor data based at least in part on sensor outputs from sensors of an autonomous vehicle. The sensor outputs can be based at least in part on a state of the autonomous vehicle and an environment including one or more objects. A plurality of spatial relations can be determined based on the sensor data. The plurality of spatial relations can include the position of the autonomous vehicle with respect to the one or more objects. A headlight configuration for headlights of the autonomous vehicle can be determined, based on the plurality of spatial relations. The headlight configuration can specify headlight states for each of the headlights. A set of the one or more headlights can be activated, based on the headlight configuration.

Claim (Index 1):
A computer-implemented method of autonomous vehicle operation, the computer-implemented method comprising:\n receiving, by a computing system comprising one or more computing devices, sensor data based at least in part on one or more sensor outputs from one or more sensors of an autonomous vehicle, the one or more sensor outputs based at least in part on a state of the autonomous vehicle and an environment comprising one or more objects; determining, by the computing system, based at least in part on the sensor data, a plurality of spatial relations comprising a position of the autonomous vehicle with respect to the one or more objects; determining, by the computing system, based at least in part on the plurality of spatial relations, a headlight configuration for one or more headlights of the autonomous vehicle, the headlight configuration specifying one or more headlight states for each of the one or more headlights; and activating, by the computing system, a set of the one or more headlights based at least in part on the headlight configuration.
