VEHICLE FOR PERFORMING MINIMAL RISK MANEUVER DURING AUTONOMOUS DRIVING AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18243954 titled 'VEHICLE FOR PERFORMING MINIMAL RISK MANEUVER DURING AUTONOMOUS DRIVING AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a vehicle capable of autonomous driving and performing minimum risk maneuvers. The vehicle includes sensors, a processor, and a controller to detect the need for a minimum risk maneuver, determine the type of maneuver based on collision possibilities with neighboring vehicles, and control the vehicle accordingly.

  • The vehicle for autonomous driving includes sensors, a processor, and a controller.
  • The processor detects the need for a minimum risk maneuver based on surrounding environment and vehicle state information.
  • The processor determines the type of minimum risk maneuver required to avoid colliding with neighboring vehicles.
  • The controller then stops the vehicle based on the determined minimum risk maneuver type.

Potential Applications

Original Abstract Submitted

A vehicle for autonomous driving is capable of performing a minimum risk maneuver. The vehicle includes: at least one sensor, a processor and a controller, where the processor may detect whether a minimum risk maneuver (MRM) is required based on at least one of surrounding environment information and vehicle state information during autonomous driving of the vehicle, determine an MRM type based on a possibility of colliding with a neighboring vehicle when the MRM is required, and control to stop the vehicle based on the determined MRM type.
