1. An autonomous vehicle, comprising:
- a vehicle interior for receiving one or more occupants;
a plurality of sensors to collect vehicle-related information, occupant-related information, and exterior environmental and object information associated with the vehicle;
an automatic vehicle location system to determine a current spatial location of the vehicle;
a computer readable medium to store selected information;
an arithmetic logic unit that performs mathematical operations;
a data bus that, at the request of the arithmetic logic unit, sends data to or receives data from the computer readable medium;
an address bus that, at the request of the arithmetic logic unit, sends an address to the computer readable medium;
a read and write line that, at the request of the arithmetic logic unit, commands the computer readable medium whether to set or retrieve a location corresponding to the address;
one or more registers to latch a value on the data bus or output by the arithmetic logic unit; and
one or more buffers, wherein the arithmetic logic unit is coupled to the plurality of sensors, automatic vehicle location system, and computer readable medium, and;
determines a current spatial location of the vehicle,receives current vehicle-related information, current occupant-related information, and exterior environmental and object information,generates, from the exterior environmental and object information, a three-dimensional map comprising exterior animate objects in spatial proximity to the vehicle, the exterior animate objects comprising a selected exterior animate object,models from the three-dimensional map a first predicted behavior of the selected exterior animate object,receives a different second predicted behavior of the selected exterior animate object generated by another vehicle, andbased on the three-dimensional map and the first and second predicted behaviors of the selected exterior animate object, issues a command to a vehicle component to perform a vehicle driving operation,wherein the first and second predicted behaviors, each executed alone by the arithmetic logic unit, cause the arithmetic logic unit to produce different commands.

19. A method for autonomous operation of a vehicle, comprising:
-
providing a vehicle comprising a vehicle interior for receiving one or more occupants, a plurality of sensors to collect vehicle-related information, occupant-related information, and exterior environmental and object information associated with the vehicle, an automatic vehicle location system to determine a current spatial location of the vehicle, a computer readable medium to store selected information, an arithmetic logic unit that performs mathematical operations, a data bus that, at the request of the arithmetic logic unit, sends data to or receives data from the computer readable medium, an address bus that, at the request of the arithmetic logic unit, sends an address to the computer readable medium, a read and write line that, at the request of the arithmetic logic unit, commands the computer readable medium whether to set or retrieve a location corresponding to the address, one or more registers to latch a value on the data bus or output by the arithmetic logic unit, and one or more buffers; determining, by the arithmetic logic unit, a current spatial location of the vehicle; receiving, by the arithmetic logic unit, current vehicle-related information, current occupant-related information, and exterior environmental and object information; generating, by the arithmetic logic unit and from the exterior environmental and object information, a three-dimensional map comprising exterior animate objects in spatial proximity to the vehicle, the exterior animate objects comprising the selected exterior animate object; modeling, by the arithmetic logic unit and from the three-dimensional map, a first predicted behavior of a selected exterior animate object; receiving, by the arithmetic logic unit, a different second predicted behavior of the selected exterior animate object generated by another vehicle; and based on the three-dimensional map and the first and second predicted behaviors of the selected exterior animate object, issuing, by the arithmetic logic unit, a command to a vehicle component to perform a vehicle driving operation, wherein the first and second predicted behaviors, each executed alone by the arithmetic logic unit, produce different commands, wherein the behaviors correspond to one or more of an acceleration event, an acceleration rate, a deceleration event, a deceleration rate, a steering angle relative to a reference axis, and a spacing distance between an exterior surface of the vehicle and a nearby exterior object in the three-dimensional map. - View Dependent Claims (20)
