Abstract
In various embodiments, the present disclosure includes a system for reducing vehicular collisions having: (a) a vehicle comprising sensors, an acceleration system, a braking system, a processor, and memory; and (b) programs operatively coupled to the vehicle including: (1) a marking program configured to mark an outside vehicle as V2X or standard; (2) a reaction program configured to generate a signal in response to the mark, the signal being based on the mark.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a vehicle comprising:
- sensors;
- and a communication module;
- and a computing device including:
- a marking program that marks an outside vehicle as V2X or standard based on detection of the outside vehicle by at least one of the sensors and the communication module;
- and a reaction program that performs the following:
- emits a cue for the outside vehicle responsive to the mark being standard;
- and transmits instructions to the outside vehicle via the communication module responsive to the mark being V2V.

A method of reducing vehicular collisions, the method comprising:
- sensing, via a sensor of a vehicle, an outside vehicle;
- sending, via a communication module of the vehicle, a ping to the outside vehicle;
- marking the outside vehicle as V2X or standard with a marking program based on at least one of the sensor and the communication module of the vehicle;
- emitting, in response to marking the outside vehicle as standard, a cue for the outside vehicle with a reaction program;
- and
- transmitting, in response to marking the outside vehicle as V2V, an instruction to the outside vehicle.
