Abstract

Methods and systems for detecting a medical emergency related to the driver of a vehicle are described. Various data, such as in-situ biophysical data of the driver, a medical history of the driver, and in-situ motion data of the vehicle, are employed to determine a possible medical emergency. In an event that a medical emergency is detected, the system determines the severity of the emergency andtakes appropriate control of the vehicle. If the medical emergency is not life-threatening, the system may drive the vehicle to a safe area, park the vehicle, and then request help from emergency service providers (e.g., ambulance and police). If the medical emergency is severe (e.g., life-threatening), the system may transition the vehicle to an EMS (Emergency Medical Service)-privileged vehicleand autonomously drive the vehicle to an emergency service provider.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to autonomous driving, and more particularly, to methods and systems for safely withdrawing a vehicle from traffic using autonomous driving where the driver of the vehicle may be suffering from a medical emergency. Background technique [0002] For people with certain medical conditions, driving a vehicle can present serious risks. For example, a person with epilepsy may have a seizure while driving; a person with diabetes may experience a sudden drop in blood sugar levels while driving and lose consciousness as a result. In general, older drivers tend to have a relatively higher chance of being involved in an accident due to a medical emergency than younger drivers. In the event of a Sudden Medical Emergency (SME), the driver could lose control of the vehicle, causing an uncontrollable traffic accident that could result in injury or even death. Even for healthy drivers who are unlikely to be affected by an SME...
