Application: Vehicle spotter drone (Patent ID: US20240166047A1)
The patent filed by Rivian Automotive Inc. describes a visual guidance system that includes a drone with a sensor autonomously positioned outside a vehicle to collect path data and a controller that provides visual guidance to the vehicle operator based on this data. The system can guide the vehicle operator with directions, images of the current path overlaid with a desired path, and maintain the sensor's line of sight to the vehicle's path as it moves. The system can also use displays on the drone and within the vehicle to provide visual guidance to the operator.
Additionally, the patent includes claims for a method that involves autonomously positioning a sensor outside a vehicle using a drone to collect path data and using a controller to determine visual guidance based on this data and provide it to the vehicle operator. The method can provide visual guidance to the operator using displays on the drone or within the vehicle, maintain the sensor's line of sight to the vehicle's path, and determine guidance based on various factors such as tire position, orientation, steering angle, and vehicle orientation. This innovative system aims to enhance the driving experience by providing real-time visual guidance to the operator both inside and outside the vehicle.
