A racing coach device stores an optimal path of travel along a racetrack, the optimal path of travel formed of a plurality of segments and associated with a plurality of driving maneuvers. A location determining component configured to receive a location signal and determine a current geolocation of the racing coach device using the location signal. The racing coach device determines, based on the current geolocation of an automobile, a next driving maneuver along the plurality of driving maneuvers and a geolocation associated with the next driving maneuver. The device controls a speaker to provide audible driving instructions based on the determined next driving maneuver along the optimal path of travel before the racing coach device arrives at the geolocation associated with the next driving maneuver.

A device mounted on a vehicle includes a processor configured to receive information for traveling guidance, which is generated based on an image of a specific point. The image of the specific point is captured by another vehicle, and the specific point is a point at which a traveling route of a different vehicle deviates from a guidance route.

A navigation system includes: a communication circuit configured to: transmit a sensor data packet collected from an in-vehicle sensor array, and receive a route detail based on the sensor data packet; a control circuit, coupled to the communication circuit, configured to: calculate a cognitive load based on the sensor data packet and the route detail; and manage an audio interaction based on the cognitive load, includes delayed delivery of the audio interaction.

An approach is provided for generating navigation data of a geographical location. The approach involves identifying a landmark located along a source road from a source image and segmenting the source image using a deep learning model to identify a segmentation mask. The approach also involves generating a template image based on the segmentation mask and a street image of the landmark, and matching the template image successively with a sequence of images of the landmark to determine a confidence score. The approach further involves, identifying a first image from the sequence of images with confidence score below a predetermined threshold, and selecting a second image with confidence score above the predetermined threshold from the sequence of images. The approach further involves calculating a visibility distance of the landmark based on the source image and the second image, and generating the navigation data based on the calculated visibility distance.

A method for processing navigation data, a path guidance method, devices, electronic apparatuses, and a storage medium are provided, which are related to a field of autonomous driving technology, and in particular, to a field of advanced assisted driving technology and a field of road navigation technology. The method includes: acquiring attribute information of respective lane lines on a road; dividing the road into multiple lane groups based on a grouping node and a dividing direction, and determining lane relationship information between the lane groups; and setting virtual points corresponding to the respective lane groups, and associating attribute information of a lane line in an i.sub.th lane group to an i.sub.th virtual point and associating lane relationship information between the i.sub.th lane group and an (i+1).sub.th lane group to the i.sub.th virtual point.

A vehicular driver monitoring system includes an interior electrochromic rearview mirror assembly and a camera disposed at the interior electrochromic rearview mirror assembly behind and viewing through an electrochromic mirror reflective element into the interior cabin of the vehicle. Supplemental sources of near infrared illumination are integrated into the mirror assembly that, when powered to emit near infrared light, illuminate at least a front seating area within the interior cabin of the vehicle. Presence of the camera is not readily apparent to an occupant sitting in the interior cabin of the vehicle. The interior electrochromic rearview mirror assembly includes a processor that processes image data captured by the camera. The camera at least views a driver-side front seating area of the vehicle and, via processing at the processor of image data captured by the camera, the driver seated at the driver-side front seating area is monitored.

Methods may include: receiving an indication of location based information; parsing the location based information into one or more portions of information; classifying the one or more portions of information based on a syntax of one or more words contained in the one or more portions to obtain one or more classified portions of information; determining, for a respective one of the one or more classified portions of information, a communication mode associated with the respective one of the one or more classified portions; and providing for generation of audible communication of the location based information, where the one or more classified portions are communicated according to a respective communication mode associated with the respective one or more classified portions.

A system and method for providing directional feedback. A communication session is established between a first directional interface and one or more directional interfaces through at least a server. A free form path is received at a server from a first directional interface utilized by a first user. The free from path is a continuous input between at least a start point and an end point of the free form path for one or more user utilizing the one or more directional interfaces. The free form path is converted to directional feedback. The free form path is aligned to available paths communicated by the first directional interface utilizing mapping data to generate the directional feedback for the one or more users utilizing the one or more directional interfaces. The free form path is aligned to available paths communicated by the first directional interface utilizing mapping information to generate the directional feedback. The directional feedback is sent from the server to one or more directional interfaces utilized by one or more users associated with the first directional interface.
