Abstract
Among other things, a determination is made that intervention in an operation of one or more autonomous driving capabilities of a vehicle is appropriate. Based on the determination, a person is enabled to provide information for an intervention. The intervention is caused in the operation of the one or more autonomous driving capabilities of the vehicle.
Claims25
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- receive an intervention request regarding operation of a vehicle that is remote to the apparatus, the intervention request associated with an object that the vehicle is unable to identify based on sensor data;
- receive the sensor data and trajectory data from the vehicle;
- determine that the object is blocking a road on which the vehicle is operating based on the sensor data and the trajectory data;
- determine a type of the object based on the sensor data;
- determine, based on the sensor data, that the object has a height greater than a clearance of the vehicle;
- generate, based on the type of the object, the identified height of the object, and the trajectory data, an intervention instructing the vehicle to hit the object to let the vehicle continue driving on the road with the trajectory on which the trajectory data is based;
- and
- transmit, to the vehicle, the intervention to affect the operation of the vehicle.
6 more elements
A method comprising:
- identifying, by at least one processor of an apparatus, a received intervention request regarding operation of a vehicle that is remote to the apparatus, the intervention request associated with an object that the vehicle is unable to identify based on sensor data;
- identifying, by the at least one processor, the sensor data and trajectory data from the vehicle;
- determining, by the at least one processor, that the object is blocking a road on which the vehicle is operating based on the sensor data and the trajectory data;
- determining, by the at least one processor, a type of the object based on the sensor data;
- determining, by the at least one processor based on the sensor data, that the object has a height greater than a clearance of the vehicle;
- generating, by the at least one processor based on the type of the object, the identified height of the object, and the trajectory data, an intervention instructing the vehicle to hit the object to let the vehicle continue driving on the road with the trajectory on which the trajectory data is based;
- and
- transmitting, by the at least one processor to the vehicle, the intervention to affect the operation of the vehicle.
5 more elements
At least one non-transitory computer-readable media comprising instructions that, upon execution of the instructions by at least one processor of an electronic device, are to cause the at least one processor to:
- identify a received intervention request regarding operation of a vehicle that is remote to the electronic device, the intervention request associated with an object that the vehicle is unable to identify based on sensor data;
- identify the sensor data and trajectory data from the vehicle;
- determine that the object is blocking a road on which the vehicle is operating based on the sensor data and the trajectory data;
- determine a type of the object based on the sensor data;
- determine, based on the sensor data, that the object has a height greater than a clearance of the vehicle;
- generate, based on the type of the object, the identified height of the object, and the trajectory data, an intervention instructing the vehicle to hit the object to let the vehicle continue driving on the road with the trajectory on which the trajectory data is based;
- and
- transmit, to the vehicle, the intervention to affect the operation of the vehicle.
