    Abstract: A control system for an automated vehicle includes a receiver, an alert-device, and a controller-circuit. The receiver is configured to receive a report of a takeover-event broadcast by another-vehicle at a location, said takeover-event characterized by an other-operator of the other-vehicle engaging a manual-mode of operation of the other-vehicle at the location while the other-vehicle was being operated in an automated-mode. The alert-device is operable to notify a host-operator of a host-vehicle. The controller-circuit is in communication with the receiver and the alert-device. The controller-circuit is configured to, in response to a determination that the host-vehicle is approaching the location, operate the alert-device to notify the host-operator of the host-vehicle about the takeover-event by the other-operator of the other-vehicle at the location.

    Abstract: A security system that uses an automated vehicle to patrol, for example, a neighborhood includes a host-vehicle, a perception-sensor, and a controller. The host-vehicle is operable to patrol a neighborhood without an occupant in the host-vehicle. The perception-sensor is mounted on the host-vehicle. The perception-sensor is operable to detect a situation in a neighborhood. The controller is in communication with the perception-sensor. The controller is configured to report when the situation is a violation of rules of the neighborhood.

    Abstract: A system for gathering perception-data includes a transceiver and a controller-circuit. The transceiver is for installation on a host-vehicle. The transceiver is configured to receive perception-data from a perception-sensor installed on an assisting-vehicle proximate to the host-vehicle. The controller-circuit is in communication with the transceiver. The controller-circuit is configured to determine a preferred-perspective for gathering perception-data by the perception-sensor of the assisting-vehicle, and operate the transceiver to transmit a path-request to the assisting-vehicle that changes a planned-path of the assisting-vehicle to move the perception-sensor of the assisting-vehicle to the preferred-perspective

    Abstract: A virtual-barrier system that defines a keep-out-zone for vehicles to avoid includes a transmitter, a location-detector, and a controller. The transmitter is configured to broadcast information regarding a keep-out-zone. The location-detector is configured to indicate a location of the transmitter. The controller is in communication with the transmitter and the location-detector. The controller is configured to determine boundaries of the keep-out-zone in accordance with the location, and operate the transmitter to broadcast coordinates of the boundaries of the keep-out-zone.

    Abstract: A safety system for an automated vehicle includes an object-detector and a controller. The object-detector is operable to detect an approaching-vehicle proximate to a host-vehicle. The controller is in communication with the object-detector. The controller is configured to operate the host-vehicle to obstruct a travel-path of the approaching-vehicle when unimpeded travel by the approaching-vehicle on the travel-path may result in injury to a pedestrian.

    Abstract: A traffic-light-detection system that visually determines a light-state of a traffic-light proximate to an automated vehicle includes a camera, a controller, and optionally a radar. The camera and the radar are on a host-vehicle. The camera renders a series-of-images of a traffic-light proximate to a host-vehicle. The radar detects radar-returns from the traffic-light. The controller is configured to determine a motion-pattern of the traffic-light based on the series-of-images and/or the radar-returns, and select a preferred-image from the series-of-images based on the motion-pattern. The preferred-image shows a light-source of the traffic-light characterized as being most directed at the camera when the motion-pattern indicates that the traffic-light is moving. The controller is further configured to determine a light-state of the traffic-light based on the preferred-image.
