Vehicle with environmental context analysis

摘要

A host vehicle configured to predict the target path of another vehicle, based on lane boundaries of a virtual map 402 and to compare said target path with a predicted path of the host vehicle. The host vehicle then applies the host vehicle brakes based on said comparison 405, or alternatively actuates steering means based on the comparison 405. This allows a vehicle to predict collisions with other vehicles by taking into account environmental context 404, such as the curvature of a lane within a roundabout or traffic circle. The virtual map 402 may be built from a combination of received street maps and sensor measurements 102, such as images when the sensor 102 comprises a camera.
