Intervention in operation of a vehicle having autonomous driving capabilities
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A vehicle having autonomous driving capabilities and comprising:
- steering, acceleration, and deceleration devices that respond to control signals from a driving control system to drive the vehicle autonomously on a road network;
a monitoring element on the vehicle that;
determines, using a model of the steering, acceleration, and deceleration devices, an estimated output of the steering, acceleration, and deceleration devices;
receives, from the steering, acceleration, and deceleration devices, a signal;
estimates a failure in the steering, acceleration, and deceleration devices based on the estimated output and the signal; and
generates an intervention request for the vehicle to engage in an intervention, the intervention comprising;
treating a current location of the vehicle as a non-deterministic location having a conditional probability; and
using probabilistic reasoning to identify a true geolocation of the vehicle based on the conditional probability; and
a communication element that receives the intervention to be implemented by the driving control system by issuing control signals to the steering, acceleration, and deceleration devices to cause the vehicle to maneuver from the true geolocation to a goal location.

Abstract
Among other things, a determination is made that intervention in an operation of one or more autonomous driving capabilities of a vehicle is appropriate. Based on the determination, a person is enabled to provide information for an intervention. The intervention is caused in the operation of the one or more autonomous driving capabilities of the vehicle.
