This invention describes a vehicle equipped with a special sensor to measure its speed over the ground. The sensor works by sending out waves, like sound or light, towards the ground and then listening for those waves to bounce back. A computer then analyzes these reflected waves to precisely calculate the vehicle's speed, specifically using pulsed or modulated waves.
Why it matters: Filed before the widespread miniaturization and cost reduction of advanced Lidar and radar sensors. Modern embedded processors and sensor fusion techniques make precise ground speed detection more accessible and robust now.
AI gives you a few directions you could take this. Pick one, and we check whether your version is different enough to patent, then write the filing.
