Multi-vehicle high integrity perception

This invention describes a system where a self-driving car, if it can't get enough information from its own sensors, can ask other nearby vehicles to share their sensor data. It then uses this combined information to understand its surroundings, figure out its exact location, and safely control its movement. The claims specifically focus on using this shared data for the vehicle's own navigation and control.

Why it matters: Filed before vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication was mature and before advanced autonomous driving perception systems were widely developed. These advancements now make real-time data sharing and processing for vehicle control much more feasible and robust.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedHeavy software system, V2V communication, sensor fusion
