Providing access to an autonomous vehicle based on user's detected interest

This invention describes a system for shared autonomous vehicles that are parked and waiting for a user. The vehicle's computer watches pedestrians nearby, predicts their paths, and figures out how interested they might be in the vehicle. If a pedestrian seems interested, the vehicle can signal to them, potentially also considering factors like eye contact or how close they are.

Why it matters: Real-time computer vision and AI for pedestrian tracking and facial analysis have significantly matured since 2020, making the on-board processing described in the claims more feasible and efficient.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedComputer vision, AI for behavioral analysis, vehicle integration
