This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17855160 titled 'AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE, AND METHOD FOR RESPONDING TO DRUNK DRIVING THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application for an autonomous vehicle and a method to respond to drunk driving incidents. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- An autonomous driving control apparatus is disclosed, which includes a processor and a communication device.
- The processor is responsible for determining if the vehicle is in an emergency situation when alcohol is detected inside the vehicle.
- If the processor concludes that the vehicle is in an emergency situation, it moves the vehicle to an operational design domain, which likely means a safe area or a designated location.
- The communication device is configured to notify a government office or a rescue organization about the emergency situation, potentially providing them with the vehicle's location and other relevant information.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Autonomous vehicles equipped with this system can help prevent accidents caused by drunk driving.
- Government agencies and rescue organizations can be alerted promptly to respond to the emergency situation.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Drunk driving is a major cause of accidents and fatalities on the roads. This technology aims to address this problem by taking control of the vehicle when alcohol is detected and notifying the appropriate authorities.
Benefits of this technology:
- Increased safety on the roads by preventing accidents caused by drunk driving.
- Prompt notification to government offices or rescue organizations can lead to quicker response times and potentially save lives.
