  • Systems and methods for random vehicle movement for vehicle safety
    Patent number: 11926282
    Abstract: Systems and methods for random vehicle movement to prevent theft are disclosed. The vehicle system may automatically reposition to make it seem like the user is home and to reduce battery drain and flat spots on the tire. The system may randomize the start time based on the preferences of the user. At the randomly decided time, the vehicle may start up on its own and reposition itself. In addition, the system may learn a driving behavior pattern of the vehicle via machine learning based on driving behavior associated with the vehicle, such that the vehicle may perform vehicle movement based on the learned driving behavior pattern.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: March 12, 2024
    Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLC
    Inventors: Matthew Castaldini, Naman Kohli, Vidhya Iyer, Shounak Athavale, Sonal Doomra

  • Vehicle operation
    Patent number: 11288889
    Abstract: A computer includes a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to determine a first bounding box for a road sign in an image, identify a second bounding box for a physical member, the second bounding box for the physical member extending from the first bounding box for the road sign, and upon identifying the second bounding box for the physical member, actuate one or more vehicle components.
