Abstract
An intersection navigation system includes: a complexity module configured to determine a complexity value for an intersection of two or more roads, where the complexity value for the intersection corresponds to a level of complexity for a vehicle to navigate the intersection during autonomous driving; and a driving control module configured to: during autonomous driving of a vehicle, control at least one of: steering of the vehicle; braking of the vehicle; and acceleration of the vehicle; and based on the complexity value of the intersection, selectively adjust at least one aspect of the autonomous driving.
Claims20
An intersection navigation system comprising:
- a capabilities module configured to determine sensing capabilities of a vehicle based on a vehicle identification number (VIN) of the vehicle, wherein the sensing capabilities include numbers and types of external cameras and sensors of the vehicle;
- a complexity module configured to determine a complexity value for an intersection of two or more roads based on the sensing capabilities of the vehicle,
- wherein the complexity value for the intersection corresponds to a level of complexity for the vehicle to navigate the intersection during autonomous driving;
- and
- a driving control module configured to:
- during autonomous driving of the vehicle, control at least one of:
- steering of the vehicle;
- braking of the vehicle;
- and
- acceleration of the vehicle;
- and
- based on the complexity value of the intersection, selectively adjust at least one aspect of the autonomous driving.
