Problems solved by technology

Therefore, this radar cannot detect objects more than fifty meters behind the host vehicle, such as another vehicle
In addition, the range or ability of the sensors to sense data in certain locations may be reduced by objects around the host vehicle, for example, causing obstruction, thereby causing blind spots

Embodiment Construction

[0012] figure 1 An example vehicle 100 is shown, which is typically a machine-propelled land vehicle such as a car, truck, or the like. Vehicle 100 is sometimes referred to herein as a "host" vehicle 100 to distinguish vehicle 100 from other vehicles 105, i.e., target vehicles 105, that are in the path of vehicle 100 from the perspective of host vehicle 100. An object or goal to avoid and / or consider in planning and / or navigation.

[0013] The vehicle 100 includes a vehicle computer 110 , sensors 115 , actuators 120 for actuating various vehicle components 125 , and a vehicle communication module 130 . Via network 135, communication module 130 allows vehicle computer 110 to communicate with one or more data collection or infrastructure nodes, other vehicles, and / or one or more remote computer servers, such as in accordance with a vehicle-to-vehicle or vehicle-to-infrastructure communication system .

[0014] Computer 110 includes a processor and memory such as are known. T...

Abstract

The disclosure provides sensor-limited lane changing. Upon receiving a request to change lanes in a vehicle, a computer can determine that a first sightline toward a target lane is blocked, and can control the vehicle to move laterally in a current lane to obtain a second sightline toward the target lane.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to vehicle sensors, and more particularly to lane changes limited by vehicle sensors. Background technique [0002] Vehicle sensors sense the world around the vehicle. However, vehicle sensors have physical limitations, including limited sensing range. For example, the rear corner radar of the host vehicle may have a sensing limit of fifty meters. Therefore, such radars cannot detect objects, such as another vehicle, located more than fifty meters behind the host vehicle. Additionally, the range or ability of the sensors to sense data in certain locations may be reduced by, for example, objects around the host vehicle causing obstruction, thereby causing blind spots. Contents of the invention [0003] A method includes, after receiving a lane change request, determining that a first line of sight toward a target lane is blocked; and controlling a vehicle to move laterally in a current lane to obtain a secon...
