Abstract: A first vehicle in traffic can use machine learning and artificial intelligence to detect an imminent collision with a second vehicle or other object. A well-trained AI algorithm can select a sequence of actions (braking, swerving, or accelerating—depending on the specific kinetics) to avoid the collision if possible, and to reduce or minimize the harm if unavoidable. With proper training, the AI model may also infer the intent and future actions of the second vehicle, as well as potential interference of other traffic agents. A good algorithm can also infer the intent of the driver of the first vehicle, for example based on prior driving habits. The AI algorithm may be implemented in a processor on the subject vehicle, potentially in communication with another processor at a fixed site such as a local access point or a central supercomputer. With super-fast AI solutions, lives will be saved!

Abstract: Vehicles can be operated according to an artificial intelligence model contained in an on-board processor. The AI model can analyze sensor data, such as visible or infrared images of traffic, and determine when a collision is possible, whether it has become imminent, and whether the collision is avoidable or unavoidable using sequences of accelerations, braking, and steering. The AI model can also select the most appropriate sequence of actions from a large plurality of calculated sequences to avoid the collision if avoidable, and to minimize the harm if unavoidable. The AI model can also cause a processor to actuate linkages connected to the throttle (or electric power control), brakes (or regenerative braking), and steering to implement the selected sequence of actions. Thus the collision can be avoided or mitigated by an ADAS system or a fully autonomous vehicle.

Abstract: An autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle can detect an imminent collision according to sensor data and responsively select an action or a sequence of actions to avoid the collision if avoidable, and to reduce or minimize the harm of the collision if unavoidable. An artificial intelligence model may be used to process the sensor data, detect the imminent collision, and select the collision avoidance action or actions, or the harm-reduction or harm-minimization action or actions. For example, when the collision is considered unavoidable, the vehicle may apply the brakes to reduce the vehicle's speed and therefore, the severity of the impact. When the collision is considered avoidable, the vehicle may automatically apply steering to avoid the potential collision, such as when the vehicle is departing a lane and may collide with a vehicle traveling in the same or opposite direction.

Abstract: Systems and methods to automatically detect and respond to driving on a deformable surface are provided. A system can determine, for a first time interval, a difference between an expected acceleration of a vehicle and an actual acceleration of the vehicle measured via one or more sensors of the vehicle. The system can detect, for the first time interval, a condition for the vehicle to increase a first slip target set for the vehicle. The system can increase the first slip target set for the vehicle to a second slip target responsive to the difference greater than or equal to a threshold and the detection of the condition.

Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus executes a collision avoiding control of avoiding collision of an own vehicle with an object when a predetermined execution condition becomes satisfied. The collision avoiding control includes a steering control of changing a steering angle of the own vehicle and a braking force control of applying braking force to the own vehicle so as to realize a target deceleration. The vehicle control apparatus terminates the steering control and decreases the target deceleration at a first rate to terminate the braking force control when a predetermined steering termination condition that the collision has been avoided, becomes satisfied. The vehicle control apparatus terminates the steering control and decreases the target deceleration at a second rate to terminate the braking force control when a predetermined cancelation condition that a driver carries out a driving maneuver, becomes satisfied. The second rate is greater than the first rate.

Abstract: A driving support apparatus according to the invention estimates the position of a moving body by controlling a position estimation unit when the tracking-target moving body leaves a first area or a second area to enter a blind spot area and detects the position of the moving body by controlling a position detection unit when the moving body leaves the blind spot area to enter the first area or the second area. In this manner, the trajectory of the tracking-target moving body is calculated so that the trajectory of the moving body detected in the first area or the second area and the trajectory of the moving body estimated in the blind spot area are continuous to each other and driving support is executed based on the calculated trajectory of the tracking-target moving body.

Abstract: An antilock control method for a braking system of a vehicle has at least the following steps: upon the presence of a brake request signal, outputting a brake control signal and building up a brake pressure by a braking medium at a wheel brake of a vehicle wheel, measuring a wheel speed of the vehicle wheel to be braked, and determining a wheel slip of the vehicle wheel, upon meeting a first traction criterion or a locking tendency of the vehicle wheel, activating a wheel drive unit and applying a wheel drive torque on the vehicle wheel to increase the wheel circumferential velocity and to reduce the wheel slip until a second traction criterion is met. The brake force introduced in the wheel brake is controlled as a function of the wheel slip by releasing the brake pressure upon satisfying a first traction criterion.
