Abstract
A system of an autonomous vehicle is described, the autonomous vehicle including a signal system located on an exterior of the autonomous vehicle, one or more processors, and a memory storing instructions that are executed by the one or more processors. The system is configured to determine, by the one more processors, a maneuver of the autonomous vehicle, wherein a portion of the autonomous vehicle will be outside of a lane of operation during the maneuver, generate, based on the maneuver, signal data corresponding to the maneuver, and transmit, to the signal system, the signal data, wherein the signal system emits an output signal based on the signal data.
Claims20
A system of an autonomous vehicle, the system comprising:
- a signal system located on an exterior of the autonomous vehicle;
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory coupled to the one or more processors storing machine executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the system to:
- determine, by the one or more processors, a maneuver of the autonomous vehicle, wherein a portion of the autonomous vehicle will be outside of a lane of operation during the maneuver;
- generate, based on the maneuver, signal data corresponding to the maneuver;
- and
- transmit, to the signal system, the signal data, wherein the signal system emits an output signal based on the signal data.
A method of signaling on an autonomous vehicle, the method comprising:
- determining, by one or more processors of the autonomous vehicle, a maneuver of the autonomous vehicle, wherein a portion of the autonomous vehicle will be outside of a lane of operation during the maneuver;
- generating, by the one or more processor of the autonomous vehicle and based on the maneuver, signal data corresponding to the maneuver;
- and
- transmitting, to a signal system of the autonomous vehicle, the signal data, wherein the signal system emits an output signal based on the signal data.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that when executed by a computer, configure the computer to:
- determine a maneuver of an autonomous vehicle, wherein a portion of the autonomous vehicle will be outside of a lane of operation during the maneuver;
- generate, based on the maneuver, signal data corresponding to the maneuver;
- and
- transmit, to a signal system of the autonomous vehicle, the signal data, wherein the signal system emits an output signal based on the signal data.
