Graphical user interface for autonomous vehicle passenger comfort warning
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11884155B2) outlines a method for a vehicle to determine its trajectory in a real-world environment, obtain sensor data representing an object in its path, predict a maneuver to avoid a collision based on this data, and provide a warning to passengers. The warning is tailored to passenger comfort levels by accessing a passenger profile, generating a graphical user interface with a semantic icon alerting the passenger of the predicted maneuver, and controlling the vehicle to perform the necessary action. The method also includes audibly alerting passengers, receiving passenger input, and adjusting the display based on stored information.
Furthermore, the patent describes the use of a smart speaker to provide information about the maneuver upon passenger request, haptic communication for warnings, and the ability to determine passenger presence in the vehicle to decide on issuing warnings. The system also allows for the display resolution and information displayed on the graphical user interface to be controlled based on the passenger profile. The patent covers a comprehensive approach to enhancing passenger safety and comfort through advanced warning systems and interactive features within the vehicle environment.
