  • Publication number: 20240067196
    Abstract: A method for monitoring driving behavior of a vehicle includes obtaining first information including values related to driving operations of a vehicle based on sensors and obtaining a geographical location or a vehicle type of the vehicle. The method also includes extracting second information including values related to operations of vehicles associated with the vehicle type of the vehicle or the geographical location of the vehicle and determining whether there is a difference between the first information and the second information. The method further includes instructing the vehicle to adjust driving operations in response to determining that there is the difference between the first information and the second information.

  • Publication number: 20240046781
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for operating a vehicle using dynamic speed limits. A vehicle can monitor current road conditions by capturing real-time data that is indicative of a driving environment associated with a roadway being traversed by the vehicle. Using the captured real-time data, the vehicle can predict a dynamic speed limit, wherein the dynamic speed limit is a driving speed for the vehicle that is adapted for the monitored current road conditions. Additionally, the vehicle can automatically perform a driving operation for the vehicle in accordance with the dynamic speed limit, wherein the driving operation causes the vehicle to move at a driving speed that is approximately equal to the predicted dynamic speed limit.
