The processor is further programmed to generate an actuation signal in response to the processor determining the imminent collision.

Abstract: A high voltage is generated from a low supply voltage by a charge pump driven with a pulse generator. A comparator compares the low supply voltage to a predetermined proportion of the high voltage. A low power voltage divider creates the predetermined portion of the high voltage. The comparator output drives the pulse generator, and the pulse generator output resets the comparator. A high voltage to low voltage mode may also be employed using the same arrangement.

Additionally, perception algorithms associated with sound detection and tracking can define human characteristics associated with frustrated drivers or other road users. Autonomous vehicle performance can be improved as a result of data analysis from the behavior of other road users.
