  • Patent number: 11433915
    Abstract: An action to be performed by a vehicle in response to conflicting input signals can be determined. A sensor signal and an accelerator pedal signal can be received. The sensor signal can indicate a possible need to reduce a speed of the vehicle. The accelerator pedal signal can indicate that an accelerator pedal has been set to a position to increase the speed. An existence of first and second conditions can be determined. The first condition can be that a receipt of the accelerator pedal signal occurred concurrently with a receipt of the sensor signal. The second condition can be that a manner in which the accelerator pedal was set to the position is a better match to a brake pedal usage profile than to an accelerator pedal usage profile. In response to the existence of the first and the second conditions, a brake can be caused to be actuated.
