VEHICLE ACTION DETERMINATION BASED ON OCCUPANT CHARACTERISTICS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17827915 titled 'VEHICLE ACTION DETERMINATION BASED ON OCCUPANT CHARACTERISTICS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system for a vehicle to determine the safety level of picking up potential passengers based on their location on the road.
- The vehicle detects the location of a first potential passenger near a road.
- It determines the safety level of picking up the first potential passenger.
- If the determined safety level is below a certain threshold, the vehicle denies the pick-up for the first potential passenger.
- The vehicle then determines the safety level of picking up a second potential passenger.
- If the safety level for the second potential passenger is above the threshold, the vehicle picks them up.
Original Abstract Submitted
An example operation includes detecting, by a vehicle, a location of a first potential passenger proximate to a road; determining, by the vehicle, a first road safety level of a pick-up for the first potential passenger; denying, by the vehicle, the pick-up for the first potential passenger when the determined first road safety level is below a threshold; determining, by the vehicle, a second road safety level of a pick-up for a second potential passenger; and picking up, by the vehicle, the second potential passenger, when the second road safety level is above the threshold.
