Abstract: Systems and methods for vehicles to detect roadside shelters that can protect users from exposure to various weather conditions. Roadside shelter information can be mapped and added to a mapping database. Systems and methods are provided for live autonomous vehicle perception of viable shelters via machine learning. Shelter information can be incorporated into autonomous vehicle logic and decision-making for user pick-up, drop-off, delivery access, and any other user vehicle access. A user may prefer to wait for a vehicle underneath an awning or inside a bus stop shelter to avoid exposure to inclement weather. Vehicle sensors can be used for perception of roadside features.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a portable ventilation system which can be incorporated into caps, hats or other conventional headgear. An aperture is formed in the brim or front section of a hat or cap which is adapted to receive the body of the ventilating apparatus. A direct current motor is installed at the center of the mounted body, the shaft of the motor being directly coupled to a multiple bladed impeller. A directional visor is mounted below the impeller and in juxtaposition to the user's face for directing the flow of air resulting from rotation of the impeller. The DC motor is powered by a portable battery pack. Interconnection between the motor source for the present invention and the battery pack allows the hat or cap upon which the present invention is mounted to be removed.
