  • Publication number: 20240109540
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for programmatically verifying an origin of abnormal driving. Some examples of abnormal driving may include aggressive driving (e.g., tailgating, cut-in lane, etc.), distracted driving (e.g., swerving, delayed reaction, etc.), and reckless driving (e.g., green light running, lane change without signaling, etc.). For example, the systems and methods may receive an identification of a second vehicle performing abnormal driving from an ego vehicle; initiate a verification process of the identification of the abnormal driving; access driving data associated with an origin of the abnormal driving, wherein the driving data includes the ego vehicle and the second vehicle; using the driving data, determine a confirm or deny decision regarding the identification of the second vehicle from the ego vehicle; and provide the confirm or deny decision.

  • Publication number: 20240110805
    Abstract: A parking assist system for a vehicle includes a processor and a memory communicably coupled to the processor. The memory stores instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to detect a parking space for a vehicle. The instructions further cause the processor to identify one or more parking parameters related to parking the vehicle in the parking space. The parking parameters include a point-of-interest associated with the parking space. The instructions further cause the processor to determine a suitability of the parking space based on the one or more parking parameters. Determining the suitability of the parking space includes predicting a point-of-interest-related action to be performed by an occupant after parking the vehicle in the parking space.
