AUTOMATED SYSTEM FOR AUTONOMOUS DRIVING OF A VEHICLE AND A METHOD FOR THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18232571 titled 'AUTOMATED SYSTEM FOR AUTONOMOUS DRIVING OF A VEHICLE AND A METHOD FOR THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The apparatus described in the patent application is designed for autonomous driving of a vehicle. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The apparatus receives a first path from a navigation system.
- It generates a second path based on the first path.
- The vehicle autonomously drives following the second path.
- Information from sensors or external servers is analyzed.
- The apparatus determines if the vehicle deviates from the first or second path based on error range and location.
- A third path is generated based on the determination.

Original Abstract Submitted
An apparatus for autonomous driving of a vehicle may comprise a processor configured to execute instructions stored in a memory to cause the apparatus to perform receiving, from a navigation system, a first path, generating, based on the first path, a second path, and autonomously driving, following the second path, the vehicle, analyzing information provided from at least one of a sensor module of the vehicle or an external server, determining, based on an error range and a location of the vehicle, whether the vehicle deviates from the first path or the second path, and generating, based on the determining, a third path.
