Abstract: An electronic device for stopping a vehicle can be activated automatically in the presence of an emergency stopping instruction. A module calculates at least one automatic movement setpoint of the vehicle in order to follow an emergency stopping trajectory comprising a plurality of successive emergency stopping vectors each associated with a separate segment of a portion of the successive segments of the predefined trajectory, from at least for each emergency stopping vector: a stored last actual movement vector of the autonomous vehicle, the predefined movement trajectory of the autonomous vehicle, and a stored last location datum of the autonomous vehicle, and delivered by at least one sensor of the autonomous vehicle. An emergency steering module is capable of steering the vehicle according to said at least one setpoint.

Abstract: An electronic device for monitoring a scene via a set of sensor(s) includes an acquisition module, of at least one representation of the scene via the sensor set, and a module for converting each representation into a respective occupancy grid. Each grid includes several zones, each corresponding to a respective portion of the representation, and each zone being in an occupied state if said portion contains an object and in an unoccupied state otherwise. The device also includes a module for calculating a differential grid corresponding to a difference between a current occupancy grid and a reference occupancy grid, by ignoring each zone of the reference grid which is in the occupied state and for which the corresponding zone of the current grid is in the unoccupied state, and a module for detecting a change in the scene, starting from the differential grid.
