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

The disclosed patent application describes a vehicle that is capable of performing a minimal risk maneuver in response to a specific event during driving. This maneuver is designed to eliminate any potential risk to the vehicle and its occupants. Once the risk is eliminated, the vehicle resumes normal driving.

Patent/Innovation Explanation

  • The vehicle is equipped with a system that detects a specific event during driving.
  • When this event occurs, the vehicle automatically initiates a minimal risk maneuver.
  • The minimal risk maneuver is designed to eliminate any potential risk to the vehicle.
  • Once the risk is eliminated, the vehicle ends the minimal risk maneuver and resumes normal driving.

Potential Applications

  • Autonomous vehicles: This technology can be applied to autonomous vehicles to enhance their safety features and minimize risks during driving.
  • Emergency situations: The minimal risk maneuver can be particularly useful in emergency situations where quick actions are required to avoid potential accidents.
  • Hazardous environments: Vehicles operating in hazardous environments, such as construction sites or industrial areas, can benefit from this technology to mitigate risks.

Problems Solved

  • Risk mitigation: The technology addresses the problem of potential risks during driving by automatically performing a minimal risk maneuver to eliminate any danger.
  • Safety enhancement: By initiating a minimal risk maneuver, the technology aims to enhance the safety of the vehicle and its occupants in response to specific events.

Benefits

  • Increased safety: The vehicle's ability to perform a minimal risk maneuver reduces the likelihood of accidents or harm to the occupants.
  • Quick response: The technology allows for a quick and automated response to specific events, minimizing the time it takes to eliminate risks.
  • Improved risk management: By actively addressing potential risks, the technology improves the overall risk management capabilities of the vehicle.


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.
