Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system and method is taught for vehicles controlled by automated driving systems, particularly those configured to automatically control vehicle steering, acceleration, and braking during a drive cycle without human intervention. In particular, the present disclosure teaches a system and method for generation situational awareness and path planning data and transmitting this information via vehicle to vehicle communications where one vehicle has an obstructed view to objects not within an obstructed view of a second vehicle.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: receiving a data related to a field of view of a sensor on a first vehicle; generating a first point cloud having a first granularity in response to the data; determining a bandwidth and a latency of a transmission channel; generating a second point cloud having a second granularity in response to the first point cloud and the bandwidth and latency of the transmission channel; and transmitting the second point cloud to a second vehicle for use by an autonomous control system. 2. The method of claim 1 further comprising determining a location of a first object within the field of view. 3. The method of claim 2 further comprising determining a velocity of the first object. 4. The method of claim 1 wherein the first granularity is higher than the second granularity. 5. An apparatus comprising: a sensor for receiving data related to a field of view of the sensor on a first vehicle; a processor for generating a first point cloud having a first granularity in response to the data, determining a bandwidth and a latency of a transmission channel, for generating a second point cloud having a second granularity in response to the first point cloud and the bandwidth and latency of the transmission channel; and a transmitter for transmitting the second point cloud to a second vehicle for use by an autonomous control system. 6. The apparatus of claim 5 wherein the processor is further operative to determine a location of a first object within the field of view. 7. The apparatus of claim 6 wherein the processor is further operative to determine a velocity of the first object. 8. The apparatus of claim 5 wherein the first granularity is higher than the second granularity.
