COMPUTATION APPARATUS AND VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240262421 titled 'COMPUTATION APPARATUS AND VEHICLE
The patent application describes an on-vehicle computation apparatus designed to assist a self-driving vehicle in navigating travelable routes based on detected driving operations.
- The first detection unit identifies travelable routes for the self-vehicle.
- The second detection unit detects driving operations, including steering inputs.
- The steering assist unit helps the vehicle follow the detected travelable route.
- The specification unit selects a specific route from multiple options based on driving operations.
- The control unit manages the steering assist, delaying assistance until a route is specified.
Potential Applications: - Autonomous vehicles - Advanced driver assistance systems - Navigation systems
Problems Solved: - Enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of self-driving vehicle navigation - Improving safety by assisting with steering operations
Benefits: - Increased precision in route following - Enhanced safety features for autonomous driving - Improved overall driving experience
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Steering Assistance System for Self-Driving Vehicles" This technology could be utilized by automotive manufacturers, technology companies, and transportation services to enhance their autonomous driving systems and improve road safety.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this system improve the overall efficiency of self-driving vehicles? - This system enhances efficiency by assisting with steering operations to ensure the vehicle follows the correct travelable route. 2. What are the potential implications of using this technology in commercial autonomous vehicles? - The use of this technology in commercial autonomous vehicles could lead to safer and more reliable transportation services.
Original Abstract Submitted
an on-vehicle computation apparatus, comprising a first detection unit configured to detect a travelable route on which a self-vehicle is travelable, a second detection unit configured to detect a driving operation input to the self-vehicle, the driving operation including a steering operation, a steering assist unit configured to assist the steering operation so that the self-vehicle travels along the travelable route detected by the first detection unit, a specification unit configured to specify one of two or more travelable routes based on the driving operation, when the two or more travelable routes are detected by the first detection unit, and a control unit configured to control the steering assist unit and to, when the two or more travelable routes are detected by the first detection unit, suppress the assist by the steering assist unit until one of the two or more travelable routes is specified by the specification unit.
