Multi-vehicle high integrity perception

Imagine a self-driving car that suddenly can't see its surroundings clearly, perhaps due to heavy fog or a broken sensor. This invention describes a system where that car can ask other nearby cars for their sensor data. It then uses this shared information to figure out where it is and how to safely move, effectively borrowing the 'eyes' of other vehicles. The claims specifically focus on a vehicle requesting and using this data when its own sensors fail.

Why it matters: The widespread adoption of V2V/V2X communication standards and significant advancements in AI-driven sensor fusion and real-time vehicle control systems make this concept far more feasible and robust than when it was filed.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedVehicle communication, sensor fusion, control software.
