System and Method for Performing Differential Analysis of Vehicles
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for vehicle differential analysis at a computing device in a vehicle, the method comprising:
- obtaining at least one image associated with a proximate vehicle;
obtaining sensor data associated with the proximate vehicle;
determining a vehicle action of the proximate vehicle from the sensor data;
determining an expected visual cue associated with the determined vehicle action;
detecting a difference between the expected visual cue and the at least one image associated with the proximate vehicle; and
transmitting an indication of the detected difference through a communications interface to a network.

Abstract
An autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle may improve the overall safety of other vehicles by determining an action of a proximate vehicle based on sensor data and determining one or more expected visual cues associated with the determined action. One or more images of the proximate vehicle may then be used to detect a difference between expected visual cues and the captured images. Detected differences may be used to notify one or more entities that can then take corrective actions.
