Driver assistance system for remotely accessible vehicle features
The granted patent US12071151B2 outlines a driver assistance system designed to enhance vehicle functionality by determining the availability of remotely accessible features based on environmental and location data. The system utilizes one or more controllers to receive location information and image data from imaging devices associated with the vehicle. It identifies visible characteristics in the vehicle's environment, such as roadway demarcation markings, signage, and parking markings. By analyzing this data, the system can ascertain whether the vehicle is off-road or within a predetermined distance from specific road classifications, subsequently outputting a signal that indicates the availability of the remotely accessible feature.
Further claims detail the conditions under which the remotely accessible feature can be activated, including the vehicle's environmental context and the status of various vehicle systems, such as terrain response and suspension systems. The system is capable of interpreting roadway signage to determine off-road status and can allow users to control vehicle acceleration and steering remotely. Additionally, the patent encompasses a method for determining feature availability and includes provisions for storing instructions on a non-transitory computer-readable medium, ensuring that the system can be effectively implemented in vehicles.
