International Classification:

G08G 1/16
B62D 15/02
B60W 30/06

Abstract:

Disclosed are systems and methods for projecting virtual parking lines in alignment with actual parking lines to facilitate parking within a parking stall defined by the actual parking lines to prevent unnecessary damage to vehicles in an area where the actual parking lines may not exist or be visible. The system identifies the location of the actual parking lines within a defined parking area based on previously recorded actual parking line data as well as localization of the vehicle within the defined parking area relative to the nearby landmarks. Virtual parking lines are generated that correspond with the location of the actual parking lines and are projected in alignment with the actual parking lines to facilitate parking.

International Classification:

B60W 30/14
B60W 50/14
B60W 30/09

Abstract:

A system comprises a computer having a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to access sensor data of a first sensor of a vehicle while an adaptive cruise control feature of the vehicle is active, detect, based on the sensor data of the first sensor, a stationary object located along a path of travel of the vehicle, wherein the stationary object is located outside of a range of a second sensor of the vehicle, determine a presence of an intersection within a threshold distance of the stationary object that is along the path of travel of the vehicle, and responsive to a determination that the stationary object is a stopped vehicle of the intersection, adjust, by the adaptive cruise control feature, the speed of the vehicle.
