DRIVER TRAINING SYSTEM EMPLOYING AN UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17730304 titled 'DRIVER TRAINING SYSTEM EMPLOYING AN UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a driver training system that uses an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to provide driving instructions to a human driver in a training vehicle.

• The system includes a UAV with a processor and memory.
• The memory stores a UAV control module with computer-readable instructions.
• When executed by the processor, these instructions control the operation of a driver training interface connected to the UAV.
• The driver training interface communicates driving instruction information to the human driver in a way that can be easily perceived.
• The system is designed for use in a driver training vehicle following behind the UAV.

Original Abstract Submitted

A driver training system includes an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) including a processor and a memory communicably coupled to the processor and storing a UAV control module including computer-readable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to control operation of a driver training interface operably connected to the UAV to communicate driving instruction information in a manner configured to be perceptible by a human driver in a driver training vehicle following behind the UAV.
