Abstract
A map in a cloud service stores physical objects previously detected by other vehicles that have previously traveled over the same road that a current vehicle is presently traveling on. New data received by the cloud service from the current vehicle regarding new objects that are being encountered by the current vehicle can be compared to the previous object data stored in the map. Based on this comparison, an operating status of the current vehicle is determined. In response to determining the status, an action such as terminating an autonomous navigation mode of the current vehicle is performed.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor configured to:
- store, in the at least one memory, first data;
- receive second data collected by at least one sensor of a vehicle;
- determine a mismatch between the first data and the second data, wherein the mismatch is indicative of a failure to detect an object;
- and
- in response to determining the mismatch indicative of the failure to detect the object, change an operating configuration of the vehicle comprising activation of at least one vehicle system.
A system comprising:
- at least one sensor of a vehicle;
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor configured to:
- store, in the at least one memory, a map;
- collect, by the at least one sensor, first data;
- determine, based on comparing the first data to the map, a mismatch between the first data and the map, wherein the mismatch indicates a failure by the vehicle to detect an object;
- and
- in response to determining the mismatch, perform at least one action by the vehicle comprising a change to at least one vehicle system.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor configured to:
- store, in the at least one memory, first data;
- receive second data indicative of first objects detected by a vehicle moving about a factory or warehouse;
- determine, based on comparing the second data to the first data, a mismatch, wherein the mismatch is indicative of a failure by the vehicle to detect an object;
- and
- in response to determining the mismatch, perform an action associated with operation of the vehicle or send a communication to the vehicle, wherein the action or the communication is configured to cause the vehicle to come to a stop.
