Two CPC codes on a system claim is a study in economy. Aurora Operations' grant US12358524B2 ("Perception system for an autonomous vehicle," issued July 15, 2025; inventors Nemanja Djuric, Shivam Gautam, Peter M. Kingston, Chi-Kuei Liu) classifies into exactly B60W 60/001 — autonomous driving control responsive to detected objects — and G06V 10/82 — neural-network image processing. Perception in, control out, learned in the middle. That's the whole claim's shape in two codes.

The mechanism is a learned perception system whose output drives the vehicle: G06V 10/82 marks the neural processing of sensor imagery, B60W 60/001 marks the autonomous control that consumes the perception. The tightness of the classification suggests the claim is a focused system claim — likely a specific architecture or data-flow for turning raw sensing into a control-ready environmental model — rather than a sprawling everything-claim.

For the control-and-perception beat, a 2025 grant titled simply "Perception system for an autonomous vehicle" from Aurora is a marker of portfolio maturity: by this point the company is fencing whole-system perception claims, not just individual primitives like trailer tracking or coherent-LiDAR classification. The system-level title and the senior inventor list suggest a consolidating claim that ties Aurora's perception components together.

From a portfolio angle, this caps a multi-year Aurora perception lineage that runs through the Blackmore FMCW hardware (2022), the phase-coherent classification grant (2024), and the inherited UATC detection family. A system-level perception patent is the umbrella over those pieces — the kind of claim a maturing autonomy company files to fence the integrated whole once the parts are in place.

Caveats. A two-code classification is tight but not self-explaining; the breadth lives entirely in claim 1's recited system elements. AV perception is a crowded field, so the grant turns on the specific architecture, not on the existence of a perception system. Read the independent claim for which components and data-flows it makes mandatory.

For the file: a consolidating, system-level AV-perception grant capping Aurora's perception portfolio. Pull US12358524B2 on PatentBear, read claim 1 for the recited system architecture, and read it as the umbrella over Aurora's earlier sensor and detection IP.
