VEHICLE FOR PERFORMING MINIMAL RISK MANEUVER AND METHOD FOR OPERATING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18034189 titled 'VEHICLE FOR PERFORMING MINIMAL RISK MANEUVER AND METHOD FOR OPERATING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

Abstract

A vehicle is disclosed that is capable of performing a minimal risk maneuver in response to a specific event during driving. This maneuver helps eliminate any potential risks to the vehicle and allows it to resume normal driving once the risk is eliminated.

Patent/Innovation Explanation

  • The vehicle is designed to perform driving operations.
  • It is equipped with a system that can detect a specific event during driving.
  • When this event occurs, the vehicle initiates a minimal risk maneuver.
  • The minimal risk maneuver is aimed at eliminating any potential risks to the vehicle.
  • Once the risk is eliminated, the vehicle ends the minimal risk maneuver and resumes normal driving operations.

Potential Applications

  • Autonomous vehicles: This technology can be applied to autonomous vehicles to ensure their safety in various driving scenarios.
  • Emergency situations: The minimal risk maneuver can be useful in emergency situations where the vehicle needs to quickly avoid potential hazards.
  • High-risk driving environments: Vehicles operating in high-risk environments, such as construction sites or off-road terrains, can benefit from this technology to minimize the risk of accidents.

Problems Solved

  • Risk mitigation: The technology helps eliminate risks to the vehicle by performing a minimal risk maneuver in response to specific events.
  • Enhanced safety: By promptly addressing potential risks, the vehicle can enhance overall safety for passengers and other road users.
  • Efficient driving: The ability to quickly and effectively eliminate risks allows the vehicle to resume normal driving operations, minimizing disruptions to the overall driving experience.

Benefits

  • Improved vehicle safety: The minimal risk maneuver helps eliminate potential risks, reducing the likelihood of accidents or damage to the vehicle.
  • Enhanced passenger comfort: By efficiently addressing risks, passengers can experience a smoother and more comfortable ride.
  • Increased confidence in autonomous vehicles: The technology provides an additional layer of safety and risk mitigation, instilling confidence in the use of autonomous vehicles.


Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed is a vehicle which supports a minimal risk maneuver. The vehicle performs driving, perform the minimal risk maneuver when a specific event occurs during the driving, eliminates the risk of the vehicle in accordance with the initiation of the minimal risk maneuver, ends the minimal risk maneuver when the risk of the vehicle is eliminated, and performs the driving again after ending the minimal risk maneuver.
