Publication number: 20240034109Abstract: Disclosed herein are system and method embodiments for monitoring tire conditions. For example, the system includes a sensor that is configured to: receive light that is reflected off of at least one object within a field of view (FOV) that is adjacent to a vehicle as reflected light, and provide tire data indicative of a distance between the sensor and a surface of a tire of the vehicle extending into the FOV based on the reflected light. A controller is configured to generate a message in response to a moment of a probability distribution of the tire data being less than a threshold, or tire data indicative of a rate of change of shadow length exceeding a threshold shadow length, and to provide the message to at least one of a user interface, a vehicle system, and an external computing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2022Publication date: February 1, 2024Applicant: FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventor: Joseph WHINNERY

Patent number: 10850744Abstract: A computer-implemented method for rendering views to an output device and controlling a vehicle. The method includes determining a maneuver path for the vehicle within a spatial environment around the vehicle based on vehicle data from one or more vehicle systems of the vehicle. The method includes updating a view based on the spatial environment and the maneuver path, by augmenting one or more components of a model to provide a representation of the maneuver path virtually in the view as an available maneuver path or an unavailable maneuver path. The view is rendered to an output device and a vehicle maneuver request is generated based on the maneuver path. Further, the one or more vehicle systems are controlled to execute the vehicle maneuver request.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2018Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Arthur Alaniz, Joseph Whinnery, Robert Wesley Murrish, Michael Eamonn Gleeson-May
