9. A process, comprising:
-
receiving image data of a target vehicle from a sensor; associating at least two geometric shapes with the image data; monitoring the at least two geometric shapes for a condition indicative of the target vehicle moving to avoid a roadway obstacle; and in response to determining the condition, providing a steering instruction to avoid the obstacle. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A process, comprising:
-
receiving, in a first vehicle, a plurality of data frames from a sensor in the first vehicle; determining that a second vehicle is located in front of the first vehicle; generating a plurality of geometric images associated with a shape of a rear view of the second vehicle, the plurality of geometric images including a first geometric image associated with an upper rear portion of the second vehicle and a second geometric image associated with a lower rear portion thereof; monitoring the generated first and second geometric images; and when the generated first and second geometric images move laterally with respect to another object within the plurality of data frames, then providing a steering control instruction from the processor that causes the first vehicle to follow the second vehicle and also avoid a roadway obstacle, wherein the steering control instruction is provided independent of the first vehicle identifying the roadway obstacle. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
