Abstract
A sensory stimulation system within an interior of an autonomous vehicle (AV) can obtain maneuver data representing one or more maneuvers to be performed by the AV. For each respective maneuver of the one or more maneuvers, the system can determine one or more visual outputs to provide a passenger of the AV with a sensory indication of the respective maneuver, and then output the one or more visual outputs via the display system.
Claims20
A sensory stimulation system within an interior of an autonomous vehicle (AV), the sensory stimulation system comprising:
- a display system;
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memory resources storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the sensory stimulation system to:
- obtain maneuver data representing one or more maneuvers to be performed by the AV;
- for each respective maneuver of the one or more maneuvers, determine one or more visual outputs to provide a passenger of the AV with a sensory indication of the respective maneuver;
- and
- output the one or more visual outputs via the display system.
An autonomous vehicle (AV) comprising:
- a sensor system to generate sensor data indicating a surrounding environment of the AV;
- a display system;
- acceleration, steering, and braking systems;
- and
- a control system comprising one or more processing resources executing instructions that cause the control system to:
- obtain maneuver data representing one or more maneuvers to be performed by the AV;
- for each respective maneuver of the one or more maneuvers, determine one or more visual outputs to provide a passenger of the AV with a sensory indication of the respective maneuver;
- and
- output the one or more visual outputs via the display system.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions for providing sensory stimulation for one or more riders to indicate motion of an autonomous vehicle (AV), wherein the instructions, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- obtain maneuver data representing one or more maneuvers to be performed by the AV;
- for each respective maneuver of the one or more maneuvers, determine one or more visual outputs to provide a passenger of the AV with a sensory indication of the respective maneuver;
- and
- output the one or more visual outputs via a display system of the AV.
