METHOD OF OPERATING A MOTOR VEHICLE, SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18546512 titled 'METHOD OF OPERATING A MOTOR VEHICLE, SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for operating a motor vehicle by determining a deviation of the driver's current driving position from an expected reference driving position and controlling the vehicle based on this deviation.

  • The innovation involves using sensors to detect the driver's driving position and comparing it to an expected reference position.
  • The motor vehicle is then controlled based on the determined deviation, potentially adjusting steering, acceleration, or braking to keep the driver in the correct position.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Advanced driver assistance systems
  • Autonomous vehicles

Problems Solved

  • Improving driver safety by ensuring proper driving position
  • Enhancing overall vehicle control and performance

Benefits

  • Increased safety for drivers and passengers
  • Enhanced driving experience with improved vehicle control

Potential Commercial Applications

  • Automotive industry for integrating into new vehicle models
  • Fleet management companies for improving driver performance and safety

Possible Prior Art

One potential prior art for this technology could be existing driver monitoring systems that track driver behavior and alert for fatigue or distraction.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system differentiate between intentional and unintentional deviations in driving position?

The system may need to incorporate additional data or algorithms to distinguish between deliberate actions by the driver and unintended deviations.

What are the potential privacy concerns related to collecting and analyzing driving position data?

There may be concerns about the storage and use of sensitive driver data, requiring clear policies and safeguards to protect privacy.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method for operating a motor vehicle. A deviation of a current driving position of a driver of the motor vehicle from an expected reference driving position of the driver is determined, and the motor vehicle is controlled depending on the determined deviation.
