VEHICLE DRIVING ASSIST DEVICE AND VEHICLE DRIVING ASSIST SYSTEM

A vehicle driving assist device includes a processor that functions as a receiver, an emergency collision avoidance controller, and a preliminary collision avoidance controller. The receiver receives, in relation to an oncoming moving body moving in an oncoming lane adjacent to a traveling lane of a vehicle and having a velocity component in a direction opposite to a traveling direction of the vehicle, a risk degree calculated based on a history of a distance from a lane marker defining the oncoming lane to the oncoming moving body, by communication with a device outside the vehicle. Upon determination that the vehicle is highly likely to collide with an obstacle, the emergency collision avoidance controller performs emergency collision avoidance control. The preliminary collision avoidance controller recognizes the oncoming moving body as the obstacle in accordance with the risk degree, and performs preliminary control prior to the emergency collision avoidance control.

VEHICULAR RADAR SYSTEM FOR PREDICTING LANES USING SMART CAMERA INPUT
20230234583 · 2023-07-27 ·

A vehicular sensing system includes a camera and a radar sensor disposed at a vehicle. The system, responsive to processing of radar data captured by the radar sensor, determines an edge of a road the vehicle is traveling along. Responsive to processing of image data captured by the camera, location of a lane marking of the road is determined. As the vehicle travels along the road, the system, responsive to failing to determine the location of the lane marking of the road via processing of the image data captured by the camera, predicts the location of the lane marking of the road based on the radar data. The vehicle is controlled based in part on the predicted location of the lane marking of the road.

Capturing features for determining routes

Techniques for determining a location and type of traffic-related features and using such features in route planning are discussed herein. The techniques may include determining that sensor data represents a feature such as a traffic light, road segment, building type, and the like. The techniques further include determining a cost of a feature, whereby the cost is associated with the effect of a feature on a vehicle traversing an environment. A feature database can be updated based on features in the environment. A cost of the feature can be used to update costs of routes associated with the location of the feature.

In one or more embodiments, a method comprises receiving, at a processor, an input signal from an input device in response to a first actuation of the input device by a driver of an autonomous vehicle. The input device is a device disposed with the autonomous vehicle and has a second actuation of the input device associated with a standard operation of the input device. The second actuation has an actuation pattern different from an actuation pattern of the first actuation. In response to the input signal, a determination is made by the processor to determine whether the autonomous vehicle can perform a maneuver safely. In response to determining that the autonomous vehicle can perform the maneuver safely, a signal is sent by the processor to cause the autonomous vehicle to perform the maneuver.
