Enhanced navigation prompt systems and methods

A navigation method comprising:

• obtaining, by a processor, navigation information from a navigation server and sensor inputs from a sensor of a vehicle, the sensor comprising a vehicle camera, and the sensor inputs comprising images of surroundings of the vehicle captured by the vehicle camera;
• receiving, by the processor, vehicle information from a vehicle control unit, the vehicle information comprising a vehicle speed, a vehicle heading, and a vehicle rate of change of speed;
• determining, by the processor, that a predetermined condition associated with surroundings of the vehicle, of a plurality of predetermined conditions associated with surroundings of the vehicle, is met based on the images;
• determining, by the processor and based on the vehicle information, that the vehicle is slowing down to initiate a turn at a first location;
• determining, by the processor, a navigation notification based on the predetermined condition, the determination that the vehicle is slowing down to initiate the turn at the first location, and the navigation information, wherein the navigation notification indicates that the vehicle should initiate a turn at a second location instead of the first location;
• and
• outputting, by the processor, the navigation notification to a vehicle infotainment system of the vehicle, wherein the vehicle infotainment system audibly or visually outputs the navigation notification to a driver of the vehicle to prevent the driver from initiating the turn at the first location.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereupon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• obtain navigation information from a navigation server and sensor inputs from a sensor of a vehicle, the sensor comprising a vehicle camera, and the sensor inputs comprising images of surroundings of the vehicle captured by the vehicle camera;
• receive vehicle information from a vehicle control unit, the vehicle information comprising a vehicle speed, a vehicle heading, and a vehicle rate of change of speed;
• determine that a predetermined condition associated with surroundings of the vehicle, of a plurality of predetermined conditions associated with surroundings of the vehicle, is met based on the images;
• determine, based on the vehicle information, that the vehicle is slowing down to initiate a turn at a first location;
• determine a navigation notification based on the predetermined condition, the determination that the vehicle is slowing down to initiate the turn at the first location, and the navigation information, wherein the navigation notification indicates that the vehicle should initiate a turn at a second location instead of the first location;
• and
• output the navigation notification to a vehicle infotainment system of the vehicle, wherein the vehicle infotainment system audibly or visually outputs the navigation notification to a driver of the vehicle to prevent the driver from initiating the turn at the first location.
