Patent number: 11546353Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for a threat detection system. The threat detection system includes a threat forensics platform. The threat forensics platform includes a memory. The memory is configured to store a baseline model of controller area network (CAN) data. The threat forensics platform includes a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to obtain CAN data including multiple messages. The processor is configured to compare the CAN data including the multiple messages with the baseline model. The processor is configured to determine a threat score for the CAN data based on the comparison and determine that there is a threat within the CAN data based on the threat score. The processor is configured to provide an indication that there is the threat to a driver of a vehicle or to a service provider.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2019Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: TOYOTA MOTOR NORTH AMERICA, INC.Inventors: Sachin J. Ahire, Ryan Wiesenberg

Patent number: 11507098Abstract: Methods and systems for identifying whether a vehicle is capable of safely traversing a road segment. The system includes a transceiver of the vehicle configured to receive vehicle capability data indicating vehicle specifications associated with the road segment, the vehicle specifications associated with a vehicle capable of traversing the road segment. The system includes an electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle configured to compare vehicle data including features of the vehicle with the vehicle capability data to determine whether the vehicle data meets or exceeds the vehicle specifications. The system includes an input/output device configured to provide a notification that the vehicle is not capable of traversing the road segment when the vehicle data does not meet or exceed the vehicle specifications associated with the road segment.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2019Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: TOYOTA MOTOR NORTH AMERICA, INC.Inventors: Chris Risberg, Katsumi Nagata, Ryan Wiesenberg, Sachin Ahire

Patent number: 11175669Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for a confidence enhancement system. The confidence enhancement system includes a navigation unit configured to obtain navigational map information including a current location of the vehicle. The confidence enhancement system includes a sensor configured to obtain sensor data. The confidence enhancement system includes an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is coupled to the navigation unit and the sensor. The electronic control unit is configured to determine a confidence score. The confidence score is related to safe operation of the autonomous driving of the vehicle based on the current location of the vehicle and the sensor data. The electronic control unit is configured to determine that the confidence score exceeds a confidence threshold and indicate that autonomous driving is safe at the current location.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2019Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: TOYOTA MOTOR ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING NORTH AMERICA, INC.Inventors: Katsumi Nagata, Ryan Wiesenberg, Chris Risberg

Patent number: 11100801Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for a detection system. The hazard detection system includes a first sensor configured to detect or measure first sensor data including driver behavior patterns and a second sensor configured to detect second sensor data including driving patterns of one or more other vehicles. The hazard detection system includes an electronic control unit coupled to the first sensor and the second sensor. The electronic control unit is configured to obtain the first sensor data and the second sensor data and determine that a hazardous condition is present based on the driver behavior patterns or the driving patterns. The electronic control unit is configured to alert a driver of the vehicle, the one or more other vehicles or another entity of the hazardous condition.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2019Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: Toyota Motor North America, Inc.Inventors: Alyssa Pipe, Katsumi Nagata, Ryan Wiesenberg, Gunnar Heinisch, Clinton Williams
