VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240286645 titled 'VEHICLE

The abstract of the patent application describes a vehicle with an interface unit and an active safety device. The active safety device includes an acquisition unit that gathers information about the surrounding environment and the in-vehicle environment. It also includes a performance evaluation unit that assesses the driving performance of the autonomous driving kit based on this information.

• The vehicle has an interface unit and an active safety device.
• The active safety device includes an acquisition unit for collecting surrounding environment information and in-vehicle environment information.
• It also includes a performance evaluation unit that evaluates the driving performance of the autonomous driving kit based on the gathered information.

Potential Applications: - Autonomous vehicles - Driver assistance systems - Fleet management systems

Problems Solved: - Enhancing safety on the road - Improving driving performance - Providing real-time feedback to drivers

Benefits: - Increased safety for passengers and pedestrians - Enhanced driving experience - Better decision-making for autonomous vehicles

Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Active Safety System for Vehicles" This technology can be utilized by automotive manufacturers to enhance the safety features of their vehicles, making them more attractive to consumers who prioritize safety. It can also be integrated into fleet management systems to improve the efficiency and safety of commercial vehicles.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the acquisition unit gather information about the surrounding environment? The acquisition unit uses sensors such as cameras, radar, and lidar to collect data about the vehicle's surroundings. 2. What are the key benefits of the performance evaluation unit in assessing driving performance? The performance evaluation unit helps in identifying areas where the autonomous driving kit can improve, leading to safer and more efficient driving.
