VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240326844 titled 'VEHICLE
The abstract of this patent application describes a vehicle equipped with an autonomous driving kit that communicates with the vehicle platform to control the vehicle. The vehicle platform includes safety features such as emergency stop systems to ensure the safety of the vehicle and its occupants.
- The vehicle platform controls the vehicle and interacts with the autonomous driving kit.
- The first emergency stop system halts the vehicle in case of abnormalities in the autonomous driving kit.
- The second emergency stop system stops the vehicle during emergency situations for the driver.
- The autonomous driving kit can override acceleration commands from the accelerator pedal when the second emergency stop system is activated.
- The vehicle platform prevents acceleration via the accelerator pedal when the first emergency stop system is engaged, regardless of the autonomous driving kit's commands.
Potential Applications: - Autonomous vehicles - Transportation industry - Automotive safety technology
Problems Solved: - Ensuring safety in autonomous driving scenarios - Providing redundant emergency stop systems for added security
Benefits: - Enhanced safety features in vehicles - Improved control and response mechanisms in emergency situations
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Safety Features for Autonomous Vehicles" This technology could be utilized in autonomous vehicles for commercial transportation services, enhancing safety and reliability for passengers and cargo. The market implications include increased trust in autonomous driving technology and potential partnerships with transportation companies.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the autonomous driving kit interact with the vehicle platform to control the vehicle? 2. What are the specific functions of the first and second emergency stop systems in ensuring vehicle safety?
Original Abstract Submitted
a vehicle includes a vehicle platform that controls the vehicle and an autonomous driving kit that transmits commands for autonomous driving to the vehicle platform. the vehicle platform includes an accelerator pedal, a first emergency stop system that stops the vehicle in the event of an abnormality in the autonomous driving kit, and a second emergency stop system that stops the vehicle in the event of an emergency situation for the driver. the autonomous driving kit requires the vehicle platform to inhibit acceleration of the vehicle with the accelerator pedal while the second emergency stop system is activated. the vehicle platform prohibits acceleration of the vehicle using the accelerator pedal while the first emergency stop system is activated, regardless of whether or not there is a request from the autonomous driving kit.
