Enabling ride sharing during pandemics

This invention describes an autonomous vehicle designed to detect if its passengers are sick. It uses sensors, specifically an external microphone, to gather data, and if it detects signs of illness like a fever, it notifies a central fleet management system. This system can then temporarily remove the vehicle from service.

Why it matters: The immediate pandemic context of 2021 has passed. The specific claim for an exterior microphone to collect passenger health data remains a significant technical challenge.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedSoftware logic, sensor integration, AV system integration
