RESPONDING TO A SIGNAL INDICATING THAT AN AUTONOMOUS DRIVING FEATURE HAS BEEN OVERRIDDEN BY ALERTING PLURAL VEHICLES
In one aspect, a device includes at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage includes instructions executable by the at least one processor to receive at least one override signal of at least a first autonomous driving feature of a vehicle, disable the first autonomous driving feature responsive to the override signal, and wirelessly transmit to at least a first computer server a signal indicating that the override signal was received.
1 . A device, comprising:
at least one processor; and
storage accessible to the at least one processor and comprising instructions executable by the at least one processor to:
receive at least one override signal of at least a first autonomous driving feature of a vehicle;
responsive to the override signal, disable the first autonomous driving feature; and
wirelessly transmit to at least a first computer server a signal indicating that the override signal was received.
2 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are executable to:
responsive to the override signal, wirelessly transmit to the first computer server a signal indicating a location of the vehicle associated with the override signal.
3 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are executable to:
responsive to the override signal, wirelessly transmit to the first computer server a signal indicating a time of the override signal.
4 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are executable to:
responsive to the override signal, wirelessly transmit to the first computer server a signal indicating a direction of travel of the vehicle.
5 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are executable to:
responsive to the override signal, increase a gain of at least one sensor of the vehicle.
6 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are executable to:
responsive to at least a first signal from a network server, present a user interface (UI) on at least one display in communication with the vehicle, the UI comprising at least a first selector selectable to disable at least one autonomous driving feature of the vehicle.
7 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions are executable to:
responsive to at least a first signal from a network server, present a user interface (UI) on at least one display in communication with the vehicle, the UI comprising at least a first selector selectable to alter a sensitivity of at least one sensor of the vehicle.
8 . The device of claim 1 , comprising the vehicle.
9 . At least one computer readable storage medium (CRSM) that is not a transitory signal, the computer readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by at least one processor to:
receive from a first vehicle a signal indicating that at least one autonomous driving feature of the first vehicle has been overridden;
receive from the first vehicle indication of a location of the first vehicle; and
responsive to the signal indicating that at least one autonomous driving feature of the first vehicle has been overridden and based at least in part on the location, transmit to plural vehicles a signal indicating an alert.
10 . The CRSM of claim 9 , wherein the CRSM is implemented in a network server.
11 . The CRSM of claim 9 , wherein the instructions are executable to:
transmit to plural vehicles the signal indicating an alert responsive to the signal indicating that the at least one autonomous driving feature of the first vehicle has been overridden and responsive to determining that at least a first number of vehicles other than the first vehicle have reported respective overrides of respective autonomous driving features.
12 . The CRSM of claim 9 , wherein the instructions are executable to:
transmit to plural vehicles the signal indicating an alert responsive to the signal indicating that the at least one autonomous driving feature of the first vehicle has been overridden and responsive to determining that at least a first number of vehicles other than the first vehicle have reported respective overrides of respective autonomous driving features within a first distance of the location of the first vehicle.
13 . The CRSM of claim 9 , wherein the instructions are executable to:
transmit to plural vehicles the signal indicating an alert responsive to the signal indicating that the at least one autonomous driving feature of the first vehicle has been overridden and responsive to determining that at least a first number of vehicles other than the first vehicle have reported respective overrides of respective autonomous driving features within a first distance of the location of the first vehicle within a first period with respect to a time associated with the signal indicating that at least one autonomous driving feature of the first vehicle has been overridden.
14 . The CRSM of claim 9 , wherein the instructions are executable to:
stop transmitting to plural vehicles the signal indicating the alert responsive to not receiving indications of autonomous driving feature overrides within a timeout period.
15 . The CRSM of claim 9 , wherein the instructions are executable to:
provide to at least one developer of a driving application and/or an autonomous driving feature program indication of the signal indicating that at least one autonomous driving feature of the first vehicle has been overridden.
16 . A method, comprising:
receiving from first and second vehicles respective signals indicating that at least one autonomous driving feature of the first and second vehicles has been overridden;
receiving from the first and second vehicles respective indications of locations of the first and second vehicles;
responsive to the signals from the first and second vehicles and responsive to the indications of the locations being within a first distance of each other, transmitting to plural vehicles a signal indicating an alert.
17 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the method is implemented by a network server.
18 . The method of claim 16 , comprising:
transmitting to plural vehicles the signal indicating an alert responsive to determining that at least a first number of vehicles other than the first and second vehicles have reported respective overrides of respective autonomous driving features.
19 . The method of claim 16 , comprising:
transmitting to plural vehicles the signal indicating an alert responsive to determining that at least a first number of vehicles other than the first and second vehicles have reported respective overrides of respective autonomous driving features within a first period with respect to a time.
20 . The method of claim 16 , comprising:
stopping transmitting to plural vehicles the signal indicating the alert responsive to not receiving indications of autonomous driving feature overrides within a timeout period.
