Abstract
Upon determining a first vehicle is moving on a two-way road in a first direction of travel in an only lane of the two-way road, vehicle sensor data is input to a first neural network that identifies a yield area along the two-way road via image segmentation. A second vehicle is detected traveling toward the first vehicle on the only lane of the two-way road. Then, upon determining the first vehicle is to yield to the second vehicle, one or more vehicle components are actuated to move the first vehicle to the yield area.
Claims20
A system, comprising a computer including a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to:
- upon determining a first vehicle is moving on a two-way road in a first direction of travel in an only lane of the two-way road, input vehicle sensor data to a first neural network that identifies a yield area along the two-way road via image segmentation;
- detect a second vehicle traveling toward the first vehicle on the only lane of the two-way road;
- and
- then, upon determining the first vehicle is to yield to the second vehicle, actuate one or more vehicle components to move the first vehicle to the yield area.
A method comprising:
- upon determining a first vehicle is moving on a two-way road in a first direction of travel in an only lane of the two-way road, inputting vehicle sensor data to a first neural network that identifies a yield area along the two-way road via image segmentation;
- detecting a second vehicle traveling toward the first vehicle on the only lane of the two-way road;
- and
- then, upon determining the first vehicle is to yield to the second vehicle, actuating one or more vehicle components to move the first vehicle to the yield area.
