Embodiment Construction

[0043] The system described below allows a vehicle to follow a user with minimal supervision from the user while avoiding restricted areas. The system includes computers and sensors for the autonomous operation of the vehicle, as well as control equipment. The computer is programmed to receive data from the control device for demarcating space boundaries in the computer's memory. The computer is further programmed to control the vehicle to follow the user while preventing the vehicle from crossing the boundaries of the space. While keeping the vehicle in constant proximity to the user, the system provides a convenient way for the user to perform tasks. Furthermore, advantageously the system addresses the problem of how to steer the vehicle out of restricted areas lacking visual markers.

[0044] The computer is programmed to receive from the vehicle control device data specifying a location of the control device external to the vehicle; receive data specifying a spatial boun...

Abstract

A computer is programmed to receive, from a vehicle control device, data specifying a location of the control device outside a vehicle; receive data specifying a spatial boundary; generate a path avoiding the spatial boundary from a current location of the vehicle to a location within a predetermined distance of the control-device location; and navigate the vehicle along the path.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to autonomous vehicles, and more particularly to an autonomous vehicle control system. Background technique [0002] Autonomous mode is an operating mode for the vehicle in which each of the vehicle's propulsion, braking, and steering systems are controlled by one or more computers; in semi-autonomous mode, the vehicle's computers control the propulsion system, braking system, and one or both of the steering system. For context, the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has defined multi-level autonomous vehicle operation. At levels 0-2, a human driver typically monitors or controls most driving tasks without the assistance of a vehicle. For example, at level 0 ("non-automated"), the human driver is responsible for all vehicle operations. At level 1 ("driver assist"), the vehicle sometimes assists in steering, accelerating, or braking, but the driver is still responsible for the vast majority of vehicle control. At lev...
