Abstract
Provided herein is a system and method for providing a vehicle navigation in response to broken or uncalibrated vehicle sensors. The system comprises a sensor to capture data, one or more processors, and a memory storing instructions that cause the system to determine whether the sensor is broken or uncalibrated based on the data, and to limit a range of motion of the vehicle when the sensor is determined to be broken or uncalibrated. The limiting a range of motion of the vehicle includes limiting a number of driving options for the vehicle when the sensor is broken.
Claims20
A vehicle system implemented on a vehicle, comprising:
- a sensor configured to capture data;
- one or more processors;
- and
- a non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform:
- determining whether the sensor is broken based on the data;
- in response to determining that the sensor is broken:
- based on a density of moving objects surrounding the vehicle:
- determining whether to limit a range of motion of the vehicle;
- and
- in response to determining to limit the range of motion of the vehicle, determining an extent by which to limit the range of motion, wherein the limitation on the range of motion comprises a restriction on a number of degrees which the vehicle is permitted to move in a direction corresponding to a side of the broken sensor;
- and
- limiting the range of motion of the vehicle according to the determined extent when the sensor is broken.
A method of determining a safe driving action of a vehicle, comprising:
- capturing data from a sensor;
- determining, based on the captured data, whether the sensor is broken;
- in response to determining that the sensor is broken:
- based on a density of moving objects surrounding the vehicle:
- determining whether to limit a range of motion of the vehicle;
- and
- in response to determining to limit the range of motion of the vehicle, determining an extent by which to limit the range of motion, wherein the limitation on the range of motion comprises a restriction on a number of degrees which the vehicle is permitted to move in a direction corresponding to a side of the;
- broken sensor;
- and limiting, the range of motion of the vehicle according to the determined extent.
