SMART VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A method to operate a vehicle, comprising:
- generating a 3D model of a sensor'"'"'s field of view;
receiving information from neighboring vehicles to compensate for blindspots in the sensor'"'"'s field of view and in a driver'"'"'s field of view;
receiving traffic information, weather information;
adjusting one or more characteristics of the plurality of 3D models based on the received traffic and weather information and blindspot information;
aggregating the plurality of 3D models to generate a comprehensive 3D model; and
combining the comprehensive 3D model with detailed map information; and
using the combined comprehensive 3D model with detailed map information to maneuver the vehicle.

Abstract
A smart vehicle can be operated by generating a 3D model of a sensor'"'"'s field of view; receiving information from neighboring vehicles to compensate for blindspots in the sensor'"'"'s field of view and in a driver'"'"'s field of view; receiving traffic information, weather information; adjusting one or more characteristics of the plurality of 3D models based on the received traffic and weather information and blindspot information; aggregating the plurality of 3D models to generate a comprehensive 3D model; and combining the comprehensive 3D model with detailed map information; and using the combined comprehensive 3D model with detailed map information to maneuver the vehicle.

11. A method for navigating a first vehicle, comprising:
-
generating a 3D model of a sensor'"'"'s field of view; detecting a vehicle tail-gating the first vehicle by detecting a distance or a time period separating the first and second vehicle; modifying a buffer zone separating the first and second vehicles to avoid tail-gating. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
