  • Patent number: 11946748
    Abstract: Methods, computer-readable media, systems and apparatuses for determining a blind corner navigational score based on real-time or near real-time navigational analysis using sensor data, digital image data, and a map database are discussed. In some arrangements, detection of a blind sensor may be performing using sensor data, digital image data, and navigational data from a map database system. In at least some arrangements, a warning signal or a vehicle control signal may be transmitted to a vehicle in response to a determination that the blind corner navigational score is above a threshold. In at least some arrangements, route correction and/or route modification based on an upcoming blind corner may be performed if a blind corner navigational score is above a threshold.

  • Publication number: 20230071825
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure describe systems, methods, and devices for automated vehicular control based on glare detected by an optical system of a vehicle. In some aspects, automated control includes controlling the operation of the vehicle itself, a vehicle subsystem, or a vehicle component based on a level of glare detected. According to some examples, controlling the operation of a vehicle includes instructing an automatically or manually operated vehicle to traverse a selected route based on levels of glare detected or expected along potentials routes to a destination. According to other examples, controlling operation of a vehicle subsystem or a vehicle component includes triggering automated responses by the subsystem or the component based on a level of glare detected or expected. In some additional aspects, glare data is shared between individual vehicles and with a remote data processing system for further analysis and action.

  • Publication number: 20210304420
    Abstract: The disclosures are directed to methods and apparatuses that allow for one or more of personal sanitizing/decontamination of a user, prevention of the touching of exposed parts of the user's body, tracking of surface sanitizing/decontamination status, tracking of the interpersonal distance, and sanitization of personal electronics (e.g., a mobile phone). In addition, data relating to a user's usage of the various components of the system may be tracked, and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques may be employed to mine for patterns of user behavior in the system.
