  • Patent number: 9946262
    Abstract: A vehicular gesture control system includes sensors such as IoT (internet of things) sensors that can share data with other vehicles and that can communicate with the cloud to provide intelligent handling of the vehicle.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 5, 2017
    Date of Patent: April 17, 2018
    Inventor: Arafat M.A. Ansari
  • Publication number: 20180095470
    Abstract: A method for controlling a vehicle includes generating a three dimensional (3D) model of the vehicle and neighboring objects and deriving an environment for the vehicle; predicting a driver behavior based on at least the 3D model, a current state of the vehicle and the environment of the vehicle; and returning vehicle control from a computer control to a driver control based on the predicted driver behavior. The system provides a seamless way to transfer control from human to computer and vice versa.

  • Patent number: 9836056
    Abstract: A smart vehicle can be operated by generating a 3D model of a sensor's field of view; receiving information from neighboring vehicles to compensate for blindspots in the sensor's field of view and in a driver's field of view; receiving traffic information, weather information; adjusting one or more characteristics of the plurality of 3D models based on the received traffic and weather information and blindspot information; aggregating the plurality of 3D models to generate a comprehensive 3D model; and combining the comprehensive 3D model with detailed map information; and using the combined comprehensive 3D model with detailed map information to maneuver the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20160357262
    Abstract: A vehicular gesture control system includes a plurality of cameras mounted in a cabin to detect edges of an object; and a processor to translate the edges as mouse movement and mouse clicks to control the vehicle by moving hands. In implementations, the smart vehicle has a number of sensors such as IoT (internet of things) sensors that can share data with other vehicles and that can communicate with the cloud to provide intelligent handling of the vehicle.
