Appl. No.:

16/673560

Inventors:

- Bellevue WA, US
Wesley Edward Schwie - Minneapolis MN, US

International Classification:

G08G 1/01

Abstract:

A vehicle monitoring system can include a detection system having a camera, radar, and lidar. The vehicle monitoring system can detect a vehicle, generate numerical position data indicative of a first serpentine path of the vehicle as the vehicle drives on a road, numerically analyze the first numerical position data, and in response, take actions to protect lives.

International Classification:

G05D 1/00
B60W 30/18
G01K 13/00

Abstract:

A safety system can include a self-driving vehicle, a temperature detection system attached to the self-driving vehicle, and a vehicle management system configured to autonomously drive the self-driving vehicle. The self-driving vehicle can include cameras, lidar, and radar to detect objects on the road. The vehicle management system can be configured to respond to the temperature detection system detecting elevated temperatures.

Abstract:

A seat-belt monitoring system can include a first self-driving vehicle having a first seat, a first seat belt, and a first seat belt sensor; and a second self-driving vehicle having a second seat, a second seat belt, and a second seat belt sensor. The first seat belt sensor may be configured to detect a buckled state of the first seat belt and an unbuckled state of the first seat belt. The second seat belt sensor may be configured to detect a buckled state of the second seat belt and an unbuckled state of the second seat belt.

Inventors:

- Bellevue WA, US
Wesley Edward Schwie - Minneapolis MN, US

International Classification:

G01C 21/34
G05D 1/00
G08G 1/00

Abstract:

A vehicle management system can send a first pick-up location to a vehicle navigation system and to a remote computing device of a rider. The remote computing device can include an accelerometer that monitors accelerations as the rider carries the remote computing device. Analyzing the accelerations enables the vehicle management system to choose or update a pick-up location to best serve the rider.

Inventors:

- Bellevue WA, US
Wesley Edward Schwie - Minneapolis MN, US

International Classification:

G05D 1/02
G05D 1/00

Abstract:

A vehicle management system can include self-driving vehicles. Before entering a self-driving vehicle, a rider can use a remote computing device to select a pick-up location at which a self-driving vehicle will later pick up the rider. Detecting that the remote computing device is unable to communicate with the vehicle management system can trigger several responses configured to minimize the risk of a self-driving vehicle failing to pick up the rider.

Inventors:

Eric John Wengreen - Sammamish WA, US
Wesley Edward Schwie - Minneapolis MN, US

International Classification:

G06Q 50/30
G06Q 20/12
G05D 1/00
G08G 1/00
G05D 1/12

Abstract:

Self-driving vehicles have unlimited potential to learn and predict human behavior and perform actions accordingly. Several embodiments described herein include a method of using a vehicle management system to operate a self-driving vehicle. Methods include coupling communicatively, by the vehicle management system, a remote computing device to the self-driving vehicle, and then determining, by the vehicle management system, that the remote computing device is no longer communicatively coupled to the vehicle management system. Methods also include identifying, by the vehicle management system, a pick-up location of the user and sending, by the vehicle management system, the self-driving vehicle to the pick-up location in response to determining that the remote computing device is no longer communicatively coupled to the vehicle management system.

Appl. No.:

15/589619

Inventors:

Wesley Edward Schwie - Minneapolis MN, US
Eric John Wengreen - Sammamish WA, US

International Classification:

G05D 1/00
G05D 1/12
B60W 30/06

Abstract:

Self-driving vehicles have unlimited potential to learn and predict human behavior and perform actions accordingly. Several embodiments described herein enable a self-driving vehicle to monitor human activity and predict when and where the human will be located and whether the human needs a ride from the self-driving vehicle. Self-driving vehicles will be able to perform such tasks with incredible efficacy and accuracy that will allow self-driving vehicles to proliferate at a much faster rate than would otherwise be the case.
