摘要: Example obstacle detection systems and methods are described. In one implementation, a method receives data from at least one sensor mounted to a vehicle and creates a probabilistic grid-based map associated with an area near the vehicle. The method also determines a confidence associated with each probability in the grid-based map and determines a likelihood that an obstacle exists in the area near the vehicle based on the probabilistic grid-based map.

摘要: Systems, methods, and devices for detecting a vehicle's turn signal status for collision avoidance during lane-switching maneuvers or otherwise. A method includes detecting, at a first vehicle, a presence of a second vehicle in an adjacent lane. The method includes identifying, in an image of the second vehicle, a sub-portion containing a turn signal indicator of the second vehicle. The method includes processing the sub-portion of the image to determine a state of the turn signal indicator. The method also includes notifying a driver or performing a driving maneuver, at the first vehicle, based on the state of the turn signal indicator.

摘要: A controller receives outputs from a plurality of sensors such as a camera, LIDAR sensor, RADAR sensor, and ultrasound sensor, which may be rearward facing. A probability is updated each time a feature in a sensor output indicates presence of an object. The probability may be updated as a function of a variance of the sensor providing the output and a distance to the feature. Where the variance of a sensor is directional, directional probabilities may be updated according to these variances and the distance to the feature. If the probability meets a threshold condition, actions may be taken such as a perceptible alert or automatic braking. The probability may be decayed in the absence of detection of objects. Increasing or decreasing trends in the probability may be amplified by further increasing or decreasing the probability.

摘要: Methods, devices and apparatuses pertaining to aberrant driver classification and reporting are described. A method may involve receiving a message from a user of a first vehicle, the message indicating an instance of aberrant driving of a second vehicle. The method may also involve determining that the instance has occurred using one or more classifiers. The method may further involve collecting information of the second vehicle and generating a warning message based on the information.

摘要: An autonomous vehicle includes interior sensors including an IR camera and a visible light camera. Images of an interior of the vehicle are captured using the cameras both before and after a passenger rides in the vehicle. The IR images from before and after are subtracted to obtain a difference image. Pixels above a threshold intensity a clustered. Clusters having an above-threshold size are determined to be anomalies. Portions of images from the visible light camera corresponding to the anomalies are sent to a dispatcher, who may then clear the vehicle to pick up another passenger or proceed to a cleaning station. Anomalies may be identified based on a combination of the IR images and visible light images.

摘要: Example ride control systems and methods are described. In one implementation, a method receives a request to initiate a drive session to help a baby fall asleep in a vehicle. The method identifies a driving route for the drive session and implements the drive session by following the driving route. One or more vehicle-mounted sensors determine whether the baby in the vehicle has fallen asleep during the drive session.

摘要: Example blind spot detection systems and methods are described. In one implementation, a primary vehicle detects a secondary vehicle ahead of the primary vehicle in an adjacent lane of traffic. A method determines dimensions of the secondary vehicle and estimates a vehicle class associated with the secondary vehicle based on the dimensions of the secondary vehicle. The method also identifies a side-view mirror location on the secondary vehicle and determines a blind spot associated with the secondary vehicle based on the vehicle class and the side-view mirror location.

摘要: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for distinguishing roadway surface lane markings for a vehicle to follow. Automated driving or driving assist vehicles utilize sensors to help the vehicle navigate on roadways or in parking areas. The sensors can utilize, for example, the painted surface markings to help guide the vehicle on its path. When ambiguity is detected between roadway surface markings, decision making algorithms identify a set of roadway surface markings for a vehicle to abide by. The sensors can also identify the location and trajectory of neighboring vehicles to increase confidence with respect to an identified set of roadway surface markings.

摘要: A method for mitigating hazards to access to passenger vehicles. The method includes detecting, with one or more sensors, a hazardous condition in an area proximate a vehicle. A processor may calculate a safety metric corresponding to the hazardous condition and analyze the safety metric relative to a predetermined threshold. A vehicle occupant may be automatically notified of the hazardous condition in the event the safety metric satisfies the predetermined threshold. A corresponding system is also claimed herein.
