Problems solved by technology

However, in the case of an autonomous vehicle, the driver can be a passive participant in driving-related responsibilities and, therefore, not active during vehicle operation
Also, since social interactions are not standardized, self-driving vehicles that try to interpret the social interactions of other drivers can run into problems

Abstract

Systems are disclosed that provide autonomous vehicles with the ability to visually communicate with other traffic entities, such as other autonomous vehicles, non-autonomous vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, etc. To provide such a capability, the system allows autonomous vehicles to communicate using lighting mechanisms. For example, the lighting mechanism may include one or more specialized lights provided in addition to any mandatory lighting systems required by the vehicle (eg, brake lights, headlights, turn signals, etc.). Thus, unmanned vehicles may communicate with traffic entities to provide additional cues, such as intended steering maneuvers, and provide a mechanism for two-way communication with other unmanned vehicles.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to operating unmanned vehicles. More specifically, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to providing a visual communication system for autonomous vehicles. Background technique [0002] Vehicles operating in an autonomous mode (eg, driverless) free the driver from some driving-related duties. When operating in autonomous mode, the vehicle can navigate to various locations using on-board sensors, allowing the vehicle to drive with minimal human interaction or in some cases without any passengers. [0003] Path planning and control are key operations for unmanned driving. Vehicles operating in autonomous mode can encounter other unmanned vehicles. Therefore, each unmanned vehicle may need to plan and control based on the potential driving maneuvers performed by another unmanned vehicle. For example, human drivers (eg, drivers, cyclists, pedestrians, etc.) may communicate using various soc...
