Abstract
A system included and a computer-implemented method performed in an autonomous-driving vehicle are described. The system performs: detecting one or more movable objects; determining a target movable object from the one or more detected objects; determining a manner of generating a directed alert notification selectively toward the target movable object; and causing a directed alert notification of the determined manner to be generated toward the target movable object.
Claims20
A system for a vehicle, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- detect one or more movable objects;
- determine a target movable object from the one or more detected movable objects, the determining the target movable object comprising:
- selecting a movable object based on a criteria, the criteria being based on any of a distance from the vehicle to the one or more movable objects at a current or a future time or a risk of a traffic incident caused by the one or more movable objects;
- determine a manner of generating a directed alert notification selectively toward the target movable object comprising:
- directing an optical device in a bug shape in response to the target movable object being an animal;
- and
- cause the directed alert notification of the determined manner to be generated toward the target movable object.
A computer-implemented method performed in a vehicle comprising:
- detecting one or more movable objects;
- determining a target movable object from the one or more detected movable objects, the determining the target movable object comprising:
- selecting a movable object based on a criteria, the criteria being based on any of a distance from the vehicle to the one or more movable objects at a current or a future time or a risk of a traffic incident caused by the one or more movable objects;
- determining a manner of generating a directed alert notification selectively toward the target movable object comprising:
- directing an optical device in a bug shape in response to the target movable object being an animal;
- and
- causing the directed alert notification of the determined manner to be generated toward the target movable object.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to perform:
- detecting one or more movable objects;
- determining a target movable object from the one or more detected movable objects, the determining the target movable object comprising:
- selecting a movable object based on a criteria, the criteria being based on any of a distance from the vehicle to the one or more movable objects at a current or a future time or a risk of a traffic incident caused by the one or more movable objects;
- determining a manner of generating a directed alert notification selectively toward the target movable object, comprising:
- directing an optical device in a bug shape in response to the target movable object being an animal;
- and
- causing the directed alert notification of the determined manner to be generated toward the target movable object.
