Abstract
Embodiments include methods performed by a processor of a vehicle control unit for managing a driving condition anomaly. In some embodiments, the vehicle may receive a first driving condition based on data from a first vehicle sensor, receive a second driving condition based on data from another data source, determine a driving condition anomaly based on the first driving condition and the second driving condition, send a request for information to a driving condition database remote from the vehicle, receive the requested information from the driving condition database, and resolve the driving condition anomaly based on the requested information from the driving condition database.
Claims24
A method performed by a processor of a vehicle control unit for managing a driving condition anomaly, comprising:
- receiving a first driving condition based on data of a condition external to a vehicle received from a first vehicle sensor;
- receiving a second driving condition based on data of a condition external to the vehicle received from another data source;
- determining a driving condition anomaly based on the first driving condition and the second driving condition;
- sending a request for information to a driving condition database remote from the vehicle in response to determining the driving condition anomaly;
- receiving the requested information from the driving condition database;
- determining using the requested information from the driving condition database that the driving condition anomaly is caused by an error in the first driving condition;
- and
- resolving the driving condition anomaly in response to determining that the driving condition anomaly is caused by an error in the first driving condition.
A vehicle control unit for use in a vehicle, comprising:
- a processor is further configured with processor-executable instructions to:
- receive a first driving condition based on data of a condition external to a vehicle received from a first vehicle sensor;
- receive a second driving condition based on data of a condition external to the vehicle received from another data source;
- determine a driving condition anomaly based on and the second driving condition;
- send a request for information to a driving condition database remote from the vehicle in response to determining the driving condition anomaly;
- receive the requested information from the driving condition database;
- determining using the requested information from the driving condition database that the driving condition anomaly is caused by an error in the first driving condition;
- and
- resolve the driving condition anomaly in response to determining that the driving condition anomaly is caused by an error in the first driving condition.
