AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE, AND METHOD FOR RESPONDING TO DRUNK DRIVING THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
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 vehicle is equipped with a control apparatus and a communication device.
- The control apparatus includes a processor that can detect alcohol in the vehicle.
- When alcohol is detected, the processor determines if the vehicle is in an emergency situation.
- If an emergency situation is detected, the processor moves the vehicle to an operational design domain.
- The communication device is used to notify a government office or a rescue organization about the emergency situation.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Autonomous vehicles can help prevent drunk driving incidents by detecting alcohol in the vehicle and taking appropriate actions.
- Government offices and rescue organizations can be notified in real-time about drunk driving emergencies, allowing them to respond quickly and efficiently.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Drunk driving incidents can be reduced or prevented by implementing autonomous vehicles with alcohol detection capabilities.
- Quick notification to government offices and rescue organizations can help save lives and minimize the impact of drunk driving accidents.
Benefits of this technology:
- Increased safety on the roads by preventing drunk driving incidents.
- Timely response from government offices and rescue organizations can lead to faster assistance and potentially save lives.
- Autonomous vehicles can provide a reliable and efficient solution for addressing the issue of drunk driving.
Original Abstract Submitted
An autonomous vehicle and a drunk driving responding method, includes an autonomous driving control apparatus including a processor that is configured to determine whether the vehicle is in an emergency situation when the alcohol is detected in the vehicle, and to move the vehicle to an operational design domain when the processor concludes that the vehicle is in the emergency situation, and a communication device that is configured to notify a government office or a rescue organization of the emergency situation.
