Abstract

A method for managing a group of narrow artificial intelligence (AI) agents for at least partially autonomous driving, the method includes (i) obtaining, by a prediction circuit, a stream of metadata segments generated at multiple points in time and associated with a selection of one or more sub-groups of the group of narrow AI agents; wherein the metadata segments are selected out of (a) selected narrow AI agent identifiers, and (b) multiple multi-domain identifier, the multiple multi-domain identifier are indicative of multiple instances of multi-domain information about elements affecting a vehicle in relation to the multiple points in time; wherein a multi-domain identifier generated at a given point of time of the multiple points in time is a combination of class signatures that are indicative of classes of elements of a multi-domain information associated with the given point in time; (ii) finding, by the prediction circuit, a segment of the stream that is a predictor to a receiving of a next cluster identifier at a future point in time; and (iii) automatically predicting, when finding the predictor, at least one of: (c) future metadata segments to be received during the future point of time, or (d) a future sub-group of narrow AI agents to be selected at the future point of time.

Claims (30)

1 . A method for managing a group of narrow artificial intelligence (AI) agents for at least partially autonomous driving, the method comprises:

obtaining, by a prediction circuit, a stream of metadata segments generated at multiple points in time and associated with a selection of one or more sub-groups of the group of narrow AI agents; wherein the metadata segments are selected out of (a) selected narrow AI agent identifiers, and (b) multiple multi-domain identifier, the multiple multi-domain identifier are indicative of multiple instances of multi-domain information about elements affecting a vehicle in relation to the multiple points in time; wherein a multi-domain identifier generated at a given point of time of the multiple points in time is a combination of class signatures that are indicative of classes of elements of a multi-domain information associated with the given point in time;

finding, by the prediction circuit, a segment of the stream that is a predictor to a receiving of a next cluster identifier at a future point in time; and

automatically predicting, when finding the predictor, at least one of:

(a) future metadata segments to be received during the future point of time;

(b) a future sub-group of narrow AI agents to be selected at the future point of time.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the future sub-group of narrow AI agents is associated with a future sub-group of skills.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the automatically predicting triggers a predicting of a next state of the vehicle at the next point of time.

4 . The method according to claim 3 , comprising triggering a determination of a response to the next state of the vehicle.

5 . The method according to claim 3 , comprising determining a response to the next state of the vehicle.

6 . The method according to claim 1 , comprising evaluating an accuracy of the predictor.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , comprising searching, in at least the stream of metadata segments, for a new predictor.

8 . The method according to claim 1 , comprising predicting, based on the predictor, selected perception modules out of multiple perception modules, to be utilized during the future point in time.

9 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the automatically predicting of the future metadata segments triggers an execution of a driving related operation at a point in time that does not exceed the future point of time.

10 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the driving related operation involves changing a speed of the vehicle.

11 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the driving related operation involves changing a direction of the vehicle.

12 . A non-transitory computer readable medium for managing a group of narrow artificial intelligence (AI) agents for at least partially autonomous driving, the non-transitory computer readable medium stores instructions for:

obtaining, by a prediction circuit, a stream of metadata segments generated at multiple points in time and associated with a selection of one or more sub-groups of the group of narrow AI agents; wherein the metadata segments are selected out of (a) selected narrow AI agent identifiers, and (b) multiple multi-domain identifier, the multiple multi-domain identifier are indicative of multiple instances of multi-domain information about elements affecting a vehicle in relation to the multiple points in time; wherein a multi-domain identifier generated at a given point of time of the multiple points in time is a combination of class signatures that are indicative of classes of elements of a multi-domain information associated with the given point in time;

finding, by the prediction circuit, a segment of the stream that is a predictor to a receiving of a next cluster identifier at a future point in time; and

automatically predicting, when finding the predictor, at least one of:

(a) future metadata segments to be received during the future point of time;

(b) a future sub-group of narrow AI agents to be selected at the future point of time.

13 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 12 , wherein the future sub-group of narrow AI agents is associated with a future sub-group of skills.

14 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 12 , wherein the automatically predicting triggers a predicting of a next state of the vehicle at the next point of time.

15 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 14 , comprising triggering a determination of a response to the next state of the vehicle.

16 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 14 , comprising determining a response to the next state of the vehicle.

17 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 12 , comprising evaluating an accuracy of the predictor.

18 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 12 , comprising searching, in at least the stream of metadata segments, for a new predictor.

19 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 12 , comprising predicting, based on the predictor, selected perception modules out of multiple perception modules, to be utilized during the future point in time.

20 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 12 , wherein the automatically predicting of the future metadata segments triggers an execution of a driving related operation at a point in time that does not exceed the future point of time.
