Simulation of imminent crash to minimize damage involving an autonomous vehicle

This invention helps autonomous vehicles minimize damage during an imminent crash. When a collision is predicted, the vehicle quickly runs virtual simulations of different actions it could take, like braking or steering, and estimates the potential damage for each. It then chooses the action that promises the least damage and performs it.

Why it matters: Filed before significant advancements in real-time physics engines and AI for predictive modeling. These improvements could make the rapid, accurate damage simulations and estimations described in the claims more practical now.
