Enhanced navigation prompt systems and methods

1 . A navigation system comprising:

a transceiver configured to receive navigation information from a navigation server and sensor inputs from a sensor of a vehicle, the sensor comprising a vehicle camera; and

a processor communicatively coupled with the transceiver, wherein the processor is configured to:

obtain the navigation information and the sensor inputs from the transceiver, the sensor inputs comprising images of surroundings of the vehicle captured by the vehicle camera;

receive vehicle information from a vehicle control unit, the vehicle information comprising a vehicle speed, a vehicle heading, and a vehicle rate of change of speed;

determine that a predetermined condition associated with surroundings of the vehicle, of a plurality of predetermined conditions associated with surroundings of the vehicle, is met based on the images;

determine, based on the vehicle information, that the vehicle is slowing down to initiate a turn at a first location;

determine a navigation notification based on the predetermined condition, the determination that the vehicle is slowing down to initiate the turn at the first location, and the navigation information, wherein the navigation notification indicates that the vehicle should initiate a turn at a second location instead of the first location; and

output the navigation notification to a vehicle infotainment system of the vehicle, wherein the vehicle infotainment system audibly or visually outputs the navigation notification to a driver of the vehicle to prevent the driver from initiating the turn at the first location.

2 . The navigation system of claim 1 , wherein the transceiver is further configured to receive a destination location of a vehicle trip, and wherein the navigation information is associated with the destination location.

3 . The navigation system of claim 1 , wherein the navigation information comprises map information associated with a geographical area where the vehicle is located.

4 . The navigation system of claim 1 , wherein the images comprise at least one of a stop sign, a traffic signal, an obstruction, or traffic along a route of the vehicle.

5 . The navigation system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of predetermined conditions comprises a presence of a stop sign, a presence of a traffic signal, a presence of an obstruction, and a presence of traffic.

6 . The navigation system of claim 1 , wherein the transceiver is further configured to receive additional information associated with a geographical area where the vehicle is located from an external server, and wherein the processor is further configured to:

obtain the additional information from the transceiver; and

determine the navigation notification based on the additional information.

7 . The navigation system of claim 6 , wherein the additional information comprises names of one or more points of interest in the geographical area where the vehicle is located.

8 . The navigation system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine a faulty roadside condition based on the sensor inputs; and

transmit a maintenance notification to a maintenance server responsive to determining the faulty roadside condition, wherein the maintenance notification comprises information associated with the faulty roadside condition.

9 . A navigation method comprising:

obtaining, by a processor, navigation information from a navigation server and sensor inputs from a sensor of a vehicle, the sensor comprising a vehicle camera, and the sensor inputs comprising images of surroundings of the vehicle captured by the vehicle camera;

receiving, by the processor, vehicle information from a vehicle control unit, the vehicle information comprising a vehicle speed, a vehicle heading, and a vehicle rate of change of speed;

determining, by the processor, that a predetermined condition associated with surroundings of the vehicle, of a plurality of predetermined conditions associated with surroundings of the vehicle, is met based on the images;

determining, by the processor and based on the vehicle information, that the vehicle is slowing down to initiate a turn at a first location;

determining, by the processor, a navigation notification based on the predetermined condition, the determination that the vehicle is slowing down to initiate the turn at the first location, and the navigation information, wherein the navigation notification indicates that the vehicle should initiate a turn at a second location instead of the first location; and

outputting, by the processor, the navigation notification to a vehicle infotainment system of the vehicle, wherein the vehicle infotainment system audibly or visually outputs the navigation notification to a driver of the vehicle to prevent the driver from initiating the turn at the first location.

10 . The navigation method of claim 9 , wherein the navigation information comprises map information associated with a geographical area where the vehicle is located.

11 . The navigation method of claim 9 , wherein the images comprise at least one of a stop sign, a traffic signal, an obstruction, or traffic along a route of the vehicle.

12 . The navigation method of claim 9 , wherein the plurality of predetermined conditions comprises a presence of a stop sign, a presence of a traffic signal, a presence of an obstruction, and a presence of traffic.

13 . The navigation method of claim 9 further comprising:

obtaining additional information associated with a geographical area where the vehicle is located from an external server; and

determining the navigation notification based on the additional information.

14 . The navigation method of claim 13 , wherein the additional information comprises names of one or more points of interest in the geographical area where the vehicle is located.

15 . The navigation method of claim 9 further comprising:

determining a faulty roadside condition based on the sensor inputs; and

transmitting a maintenance notification to a maintenance server responsive to determining the faulty roadside condition, wherein the maintenance notification comprises information associated with the faulty roadside condition.

16 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereupon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

obtain navigation information from a navigation server and sensor inputs from a sensor of a vehicle, the sensor comprising a vehicle camera, and the sensor inputs comprising images of surroundings of the vehicle captured by the vehicle camera;

receive vehicle information from a vehicle control unit, the vehicle information comprising a vehicle speed, a vehicle heading, and a vehicle rate of change of speed;

determine that a predetermined condition associated with surroundings of the vehicle, of a plurality of predetermined conditions associated with surroundings of the vehicle, is met based on the images;

determine, based on the vehicle information, that the vehicle is slowing down to initiate a turn at a first location;

determine a navigation notification based on the predetermined condition, the determination that the vehicle is slowing down to initiate the turn at the first location, and the navigation information, wherein the navigation notification indicates that the vehicle should initiate a turn at a second location instead of the first location; and

output the navigation notification to a vehicle infotainment system of the vehicle, wherein the vehicle infotainment system audibly or visually outputs the navigation notification to a driver of the vehicle to prevent the driver from initiating the turn at the first location.
