Emergency vehicle detection and avoidance systems for autonomous vehicles

This invention describes a computer system designed to help autonomous vehicles avoid emergency vehicles. It works by receiving real-time information about an emergency vehicle's location and intended path, as well as the autonomous vehicle's own location and route. The system then processes this combined data to generate a warning or suggest an alternative route for the autonomous vehicle to take, specifically focusing on creating the data for such a warning.

Why it matters: While filed in 2022, the widespread adoption of standardized V2X communication protocols for emergency vehicles is still developing. The primary obstacle remains the consistent, real-time broadcasting of emergency vehicle data in a format universally consumable by autonomous vehicles.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active.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