Problems solved by technology

However, such routing has an associated chaos scenario where the autonomous vehicle may not be able to cooperate with it, i.e., the autonomous vehicle's artificial intelligence engine may not be able to compensate or overcome the chaos and be unable to complete the destination task

Embodiment Construction

[0013] This paper presents confusion assessment based routing for autonomous vehicles. As an example, multiple route options may be generated based on destination and current ego vehicle location data. The vehicle operator can then select a route option for navigating to the destination. This selection may be based on subjective vehicle operator criteria or user preferences, such as choosing scenic back roads on interstate highways, avoiding toll roads, and the like. While the vehicle operator may provide similar selection preferences in autonomous vehicle routing, the autonomous vehicle bases routing on each routing option's corresponding confusion level as well as a measure of autonomous cooperativeness. In other words, the ego vehicle may consider its ability to engage the selected route option and achieve the mission objective (ie, the destination) given the assessed level of confusion of the selected route option. By doing so, the autonomous vehicle can perform intellig...

Abstract

The present invention relates to autonomous vehicle routing based on confusion assessment. Apparatuses and methods for chaos assessment based autonomous vehicle routing are provided. A plurality of route options are generated based on the destination object data relative to the current ego vehicle position data. For each of the plurality of routing options, an associated level of confusion can be evaluated, and an autonomous cooperativeness metric can be generated based on the associated level of confusion. Autonomous selection of a route option from the plurality of route options is based on a favorable measure of autonomous interoperability, and autonomous mission description data is generated based on the route option including the favorable measure of autonomous interoperability. Autonomous mission description data may be sent for autonomously engaging a destination defined by the destination object data.

Description

technical field [0001] The subject matter described herein relates generally to destination routing devices, and more specifically to autonomous vehicle routing based on chaos assessment of several route options. Background technique [0002] Vehicle navigation systems have been commonly used to provide vehicle users with directions to a selected destination. Such navigation is already basic directional instructions, such as turning left or right at intersections and announcements of upcoming destinations. Navigation systems have been improved to provide drivers with routing options such as avoiding toll roads, historically high collision areas, shortest travel times, and more. Further developments have enabled crowd-source data based on vehicle users' cellular devices, combined with on-board location devices to further relay traffic jams, traffic collisions, ongoing construction, etc. With the advent of autonomous vehicles, routing options simply rely on the basic routing...
