Abstract
A system and method are arranged to provide recommendations to a user of a vehicle. In one aspect, the vehicle navigates in an autonomous mode and the sensors provide information that is based on the location of the vehicle and output from sensors directed to the environment surrounding the vehicle. In further aspects, both current and previous sensor data is used to make the recommendations, as well as data based on the sensors of other vehicles.
Claims (26)
1. A system for controlling a first-vehicle in an autonomous driving mode, the system comprising one or more processors configured to:
receive information including data generated by a sensor remote from the vehicle;
determine one or more types of maneuvers for the vehicle based on a trustworthiness characteristic of the received information; and
control the vehicle in the autonomous driving mode using the received information and the one or more types of maneuvers.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to determine the one or more types of maneuvers based on whether a vendor associated with a source of the received information is known.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the trustworthiness characteristic includes whether the received information has been cryptographically signed.
4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to determine the one or more types of maneuvers based on whether the one or more processors can verify the cryptographic signature.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the trustworthiness characteristic is an indicium that implies that a source of the received information cannot be trusted.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the trustworthiness characteristic is an indicium that implies that a source of the received information is counterfeit.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more types of maneuvers includes slowing the vehicle down.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more types of maneuvers includes changing lanes.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to determine a level of trust for the received information and to determine the one or more types of maneuvers further based on the determined level of trust, and wherein the determined level of trust is one of a plurality of possible levels of trust.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein each of the plurality of possible levels of trust is associated with a set of one or more types of maneuvers such that a first level of the plurality of possible levels of trust is associated with a first set of one or more maneuvers and a second level of the plurality of possible levels of trust is associated with a second set of one or more maneuvers, and wherein the first set is different from the second set.
11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the first set of one or more maneuvers includes slowing the vehicle down and the second set of one or more maneuvers includes slowing the vehicle down and changing lanes.
12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to control the vehicle in the autonomous driving mode using the received information includes taking a route to a destination that is an alternative to a route that the vehicle is currently following.
13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to control the vehicle in the autonomous driving mode using the received information by taking an evasive action to avoid an object.
14. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to control the vehicle in the autonomous driving mode using the received information by slowing down for a traffic jam detected by the vehicle.
15. The system of claim 1 , further comprising the vehicle.
16. The system of claim 1 , wherein the received information identifies an object in an environment.
17. The system of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle is a first vehicle, and the one or more processors are further configured to receive the received information from a second vehicle.
18. A method for controlling a vehicle in an autonomous driving mode, the method comprising:
receiving, by one or more processors, information including data generated by a sensor remote from the vehicle;
determining, by the one or more processors, one or more types of maneuvers for the first vehicle based on a trustworthiness characteristic of the received information; and
controlling, by the one or more processors, the vehicle in the autonomous driving mode using the received information and the one or more types of maneuvers.
19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the one or more types of maneuvers includes slowing the vehicle down.
20. The method of claim 18 , wherein the one or more types of maneuvers includes changing lanes.
