  • Publication number: 20230386361
    Abstract: A racing coach device stores data representative of a first path of travel along a racetrack over a first time period and data representative of a second path of travel along the racetrack over a second time period. The racing coach device identifies, for each of a plurality of geolocations along the racetrack, a segment traversed along the first path of travel over which a speed reduction event occurred in the generated video data. The device determines an obstructed portion of the first time period over which the traversed segment along the first path of travel was extended in duration by the speed reduction event. The device determines an average lap time for the first path of travel and the second path of travel based on the obstructed portion of the first time period and controls an output device to provide the determined average lap time.

  • Patent number: 11830375
    Abstract: A racing coach device stores a first path of travel along a racetrack over a first time period and a second path of travel along the racetrack over a second time period. The racing coach device identifies, for each of a plurality of geolocations along the racetrack, one of the first path of travel or the second path of travel that is associated with a shorter duration of time over which the user traversed a segment of the path of travel associated with each of the plurality of geolocations. The device determines an optimal path of travel along the racetrack based on the identified first and second path of travel for each segment of the path of travel at each of the plurality of geolocations that results in a calculated lap time to traverse the racetrack that is less than the first time period and the second time period.

  • Publication number: 20230316951
    Abstract: A racing coach device stores an optimal path of travel along a racetrack, the optimal path of travel formed of a plurality of segments and associated with a plurality of driving maneuvers. A location determining component configured to receive a location signal and determine a current geolocation of the racing coach device using the location signal. The racing coach device determines, based on the current geolocation of an automobile, a next driving maneuver along the plurality of driving maneuvers and a geolocation associated with the next driving maneuver. The device controls a speaker to provide audible driving instructions based on the determined next driving maneuver along the optimal path of travel before the racing coach device arrives at the geolocation associated with the next driving maneuver.
