Abstract
Example steering assistance systems and methods are described. In one implementation, a controller receives inputs from one or more sensors mounted to a vehicle. The controller processes the inputs from the one or more sensors to determine whether a steering change is needed. Responsive to determining that a steering change is needed, the controller provides a steering change recommendation to a driver of the vehicle via a physical rotation of the vehicle steering wheel in a recommended direction.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a controller, inputs from one or more sensors mounted to a vehicle;
- processing, by the controller, the inputs from the one or more sensors to determine whether a steering change is needed;
- and
- providing, responsive to determining that a steering change is needed, a steering change recommendation to a driver of the vehicle via a physical rotation of the vehicle steering wheel in a recommended direction.
1 more element
An apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of sensors mounted to a vehicle;
- and
- a processing system configured to receive one or more inputs from the plurality of sensors, wherein the processing system is further configured to process the one or more inputs to determine whether a steering change is needed and accordingly provide a steering change recommendation to a driver of the vehicle via a physical rotation of the vehicle steering wheel in a recommended direction.
