AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE INTERACTION WITH PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18183319 titled 'AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE INTERACTION WITH PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT

The abstract describes a system for enabling communication between an autonomous vehicle and an external interface in close proximity to the vehicle. This system includes external sensors on the vehicle to gather data about the surrounding environment, a controller with a wireless communication module for exchanging data wirelessly with remote entities, a microphone and speaker for audible communication, and a video display for visual information.

External sensors collect data about the environment around the autonomous vehicle.
Controller with wireless communication module facilitates data exchange with remote entities.
Microphone and speaker enable audible communication with the external interface.
Video display shows visual information to the external interface.
The controller determines the interaction mode with the external interface.

Potential Applications: - Autonomous vehicle navigation and communication with pedestrians or other vehicles. - Remote monitoring and control of autonomous vehicles. - Enhanced safety features for autonomous vehicles.

Problems Solved: - Facilitates communication between autonomous vehicles and external interfaces. - Improves interaction and information exchange in proximity to the vehicle.

Benefits: - Enhanced safety for autonomous vehicles and those around them. - Improved efficiency in communication and data exchange. - Enables seamless interaction with external interfaces.

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhancing Autonomous Vehicle Communication System" This technology can be used in autonomous vehicle systems for improved communication with external interfaces, enhancing safety and efficiency in various industries such as transportation, logistics, and smart cities.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this system improve communication between autonomous vehicles and external interfaces? 2. What are the potential benefits of using external sensors and wireless communication in autonomous vehicles?

Original Abstract Submitted

A system for facilitating interaction between an autonomous vehicle and an external interface in proximity to the autonomous vehicle including a plurality of external sensors positioned on the autonomous vehicle and adapted to collect data relative to an environment surrounding and in proximity to the autonomous vehicle, a controller having a wireless communication module, the wireless communication module adapted to facilitate wireless data exchange between the controller and remote entities, the controller adapted to receive data collected from the plurality of external sensors and identify an interaction mode for the external interface, a microphone and a speaker adapted to facilitate audible communication between the controller and the external interface, and a video display adapted to display visual information to the external interface, wherein the controller is adapted to perform an interaction with the external interface.
