Abstract
A monitoring system can receive sensor data from one or more sensors of a vehicle to monitor an exterior of the vehicle. Based on monitoring the exterior of the vehicle, the system can detect movement of one or more pedestrians in the exterior of the vehicle. Based at least in part on detecting the movement of the one or more pedestrians in the exterior of the vehicle, the system can output an alert to a driver of the vehicle via one or more output devices of the vehicle.
Claims20
A monitoring system for a vehicle, comprising:
- one or more output devices;
- one or more sensors operatively coupled to the vehicle;
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the monitoring system to:
- receive sensor data from the one or more sensors of the vehicle to monitor an exterior of the vehicle;
- based on monitoring the exterior of the vehicle, detect movement of one or more pedestrians in the exterior of the vehicle;
- and
- based at least in part on detecting the movement of the one or more pedestrians in the exterior of the vehicle, output an alert to a driver of the vehicle via the one or more output devices.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a vehicle monitoring system, cause the vehicle monitoring system to:
- receive sensor data from one or more sensors of a vehicle to monitor an exterior of the vehicle;
- based on monitoring the exterior of the vehicle, detect movement of one or more pedestrians in the exterior of the vehicle;
- and
- based at least in part on detecting the movement of the one or more pedestrians in the exterior of the vehicle, output an alert to a driver of the vehicle via one or more output devices of the vehicle.
A computer-implemented method of alerting drivers of vehicles, the method being implemented by one or more processors of a vehicle monitoring system and comprising:
- receiving sensor data from one or more sensors of a vehicle to monitor an exterior of the vehicle;
- based on monitoring the exterior of the vehicle, detecting movement of one or more pedestrians in the exterior of the vehicle;
- and
- based at least in part on detecting the movement of the one or more pedestrians in the exterior of the vehicle, outputting an alert to a driver of the vehicle via one or more output devices of the vehicle.
