Disclosed is a system for preventing drunk driving of a vehicle, the system including: an input unit through which a transfer intention to transfer a control privilege of a vehicle from a registered driver to a passenger is input; a sobriety determination unit configured to determine a current driver's inebriation state through a breathalyzer provided in the vehicle when the transfer intention is input through the input unit; a driver verification unit configured to identify personal information of the current driver seated on a driver's seat; and a control unit configured to transfer the control privilege of the vehicle to the passenger when the passenger is measured as being able to drive by the sobriety determination unit and the passenger and the current driver are identified to be the same by the driver verification unit.

According to the present disclosure, a drunk driving prevention system including: an alcohol detection unit configured to detect a driver's inebriation through the breath test device provided in a vehicle; a computation unit configured, when the driver is detected to be in a drunk state by the alcohol detection unit, to compute a driving-possible time at which the drunk state is resolved in the future so that driving is possible; and a notification unit configured to output the driving-possible time or whether or not driving is possible through an infotainment system of the vehicle or a driver's terminal is disclosed.

Provided are methods for efficient vehicle extent estimation, which can include bounding box generation. Some methods described include determining bounding boxes surrounding detected point clusters according to tangents to convex hulls of the point clusters, and minimizing continuous functions of distances between points and bounding box sides. Accordingly, best-fit bounding boxes are determined more efficiently and quickly, as well as more accurately. Systems and computer program products are also provided.

Disclosed are a drunk driving prevention system and a method of controlling the system that includes a sensor module measuring a alcohol content in the exhaled breath of a driver during a breath-checking of the driver and a control module configured to check the intoxication state of the driver from the alcohol content measured by the sensor module to determine whether the breath-checking is complete and block an engine start when the breath-checking fails, wherein the control module includes a check unit displaying breath-checking guide information through a display unit and the check unit displays the breath-checking guide information based on an engine start input of the driver.

This disclosure describes systems and methods for training a neural network with a training data set including data items labeled at different granularities. During training, each item within the training data set can be fed through the neural network. For items with labels of a higher granularity, weights of the network can be adjusted based on a comparison between the output of the network and the label of the item. For items with labels of a lower granularity, an output of the network can be fed through a conversion function that convers the output from the higher granularity to the lower granularity. The weights of the network can then be adjusted based on a comparison between the converted output and the label of the item.

In various examples, a yield scenario may be identified for a first vehicle. A wait element is received that encodes a first path for the first vehicle to traverse a yield area and a second path for a second vehicle to traverse the yield area. The first path is employed to determine a first trajectory in the yield area for the first vehicle based at least on a first location of the first vehicle at a time and the second path is employed to determine a second trajectory in the yield area for the second vehicle based at least on a second location of the second vehicle at the time. To operate the first vehicle in accordance with a wait state, it may be determined whether there is a conflict between the first trajectory and the second trajectory, where the wait state defines a yielding behavior for the first vehicle.

Systems and methods for image-based perception. The methods comprise: capturing images by a plurality of cameras with overlapping fields of view; generating, by a computing device, spatial feature maps indicating locations of features in the images; identifying, by the computing device, overlapping portions of the spatial feature maps; generating, by the computing device, at least one combined spatial feature map by combining the overlapping portions of the spatial feature maps together; and/or using, by the computing device, the at least one combined spatial feature map to define a predicted cuboid for at least one object in the images.

Provided are methods for scalable and realistic camera blockage dataset generation, which can include generating synthetic images depicting a blockage on or near an imaging sensor. The synthetic images may be created by combining one or more chroma key-extracted partial blockage image with one or more background images, the combination of which can provide a scalable blockage dataset. Metadata for each synthetic image can be generated along with the synthetic image, by annotating the portion of the synthetic image represented by the chroma key-extracted partial blockage image as constituting blockage. The synthetic images can be used to increase the accuracy of machine learning models trained to identify blockage by increasing the volume of data available for such training.

An apparatus and method for controlling an automatic lane change of a vehicle in consideration of a speed limit are configured to obtain information about the speed limit of a road from map information including information about the speed limit of the road, and calculate a speed at which an automatic lane change function is operable based on the speed limit of the road. As a result, it is possible to control the automatic lane change of the vehicle while automatically complying with laws and/or regulations in consideration of the speed limit of the road.

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for controlling an autonomous vehicle to allow an autonomous vehicle to safely pass through a road according to a driver's choice when the width of the road is narrow. The apparatus includes a sensor for acquiring information data of obstacles and vehicles in front of and on a side of a host vehicle, a signal processor for outputting data with respect to positions and media of obstacles and a determination signal representing presence or absence of a vehicle on a driving path, a controller for determining whether driving is possible by analyzing information acquired by the sensor and outputting a control signal corresponding to a selection signal of the driver, an interface for displaying an image processed by the signal processor, and an autonomous driving function unit for performing autonomous driving according to the control signal.
