Systems and methods for interfacing with an occupant

This invention describes a way for a self-driving vehicle to show its intentions to people nearby. It works by scanning the area around the vehicle, identifying objects, and figuring out how those objects might affect its movement. The vehicle then displays a visual representation of its planned action, linked to the object, on an external screen, specifically when perceiving an object's effect based on whether it's stationary or moving, and for objects like traffic signs or markings.

Why it matters: Filed before widespread advancements in real-time AI perception and predictive modeling for autonomous systems. The ability to reliably determine an object's effect and communicate vehicle intent has significantly matured since 2022.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedSensors, vehicle integration, complex software, external display
