Patent number: 12263869Abstract: The disclosure includes embodiments for a medic system to respond to a medical condition of a vehicle occupant. A method according to some embodiments is executed by a processor. The method also includes determining, by the processor, that a driver of an ego vehicle is experiencing a debilitating medical condition. The method also includes overriding a protocol to decrease an autonomy level of the ego vehicle responsive to inattentiveness of the driver to a driving interface of the ego vehicle so that the driver can be inattentive to the driving interface and the autonomy level is not decreased. The method also includes modifying an operation of an autonomous driving system of the ego vehicle to increase the autonomy level of the ego vehicle to decrease a driving responsibility of the driver responsive to the debilitating medical condition.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2022Date of Patent: April 1, 2025Inventors: Akila C.

Publication number: 20240166209Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling a cruise control system of a vehicle using the moods of one or more occupants are described herein. In one example, a system includes a processor and a memory in communication with the processor. The memory includes instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to determine, using a mood model, the mood of at least one occupant of a vehicle and a setting for a cruise control to maintain a distance between the vehicle and a preceding vehicle based on the determined mood. The instructions then cause the processor to set the cruise control to operate according to the setting.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2022Publication date: May 23, 2024Applicants: Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc., Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Rohit Gupta, Ziran Wang, Kyungtae Han, Hazem Abdelkawy, Paul Li, Satoshi Nagashima, Pujitha Gunaratne
