COMMUNICATIONS FOR AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240343189 titled 'COMMUNICATIONS FOR AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a method for an autonomous vehicle to communicate with a user before the user enters the vehicle.

  • The method involves inputting the vehicle's current location and map information into a model to determine the type of communication action needed to convey the vehicle's location to the user.
  • It enables a first communication based on the identified communication action.
  • The system then determines if the user has responded to the first communication using sensor data.
  • Based on this determination, a second communication is enabled to prompt the user for a response.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Method for autonomous vehicles to communicate with users before they enter the vehicle.
  • Utilizes current location and map information to determine the type of communication action needed.
  • Enables sequential communications based on user responses.

Potential Applications:

  • Ride-sharing services
  • Autonomous delivery vehicles
  • Public transportation systems

Problems Solved:

  • Improving user experience with autonomous vehicles
  • Enhancing communication between vehicles and users
  • Increasing user safety and convenience

Benefits:

  • Enhanced user interaction with autonomous vehicles
  • Improved efficiency in picking up users
  • Increased user trust in autonomous vehicle technology

Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include ride-sharing companies, delivery services, and public transportation providers looking to enhance user experience and communication with autonomous vehicles.

Questions about Autonomous Vehicle Communication: 1. How does the method determine the type of communication action needed for each user? 2. What are the potential privacy concerns related to this type of communication between autonomous vehicles and users?


Original Abstract Submitted

aspects of the disclosure provide a method of facilitating communications from an autonomous vehicle to a user. for instance, a method may include, while attempting to pick up the user and prior to the user entering an vehicle, inputting a current location of the vehicle and map information into a model in order to identify a type of communication action for communicating a location of the vehicle to the user; enabling a first communication based on the type of the communication action; determining whether the user has responded to the first communication from received sensor data; and enabling a second communication based on the determination of whether the user has responded to the communication.
