Application: Evaluating and presenting pick-up and drop-off locations in a situational awareness view of an autonomous vehicle (Patent ID: US20240077327A1)
The patent filed by Lyft Inc. describes a method that involves determining available locations for a vehicle to pick up or drop off a user based on sensor data capturing physical characteristics of the area. Viability values are calculated for these locations, ranking them accordingly. Instructions are then sent to a computing device to display selectable locations based on this ranking, with higher viability locations prioritized.
The method also includes features such as ensuring the presented selectable locations meet a viability threshold, instructing the vehicle to travel to the highest-ranked location, adjusting rankings based on user-selected locations, and presenting selectable locations with different graphical representations. Additionally, the viability values can be calculated based on historical data or characterization values indicating feasibility for pick-up or drop-off. The patent also covers a system with processors and storage media to execute these operations, ensuring efficient and optimized user pick-up and drop-off locations based on sensor data and historical information.
