Problems solved by technology

However, in some scenarios, it is necessary to park a vehicle in a narrower parking space (or the parking space narrows after parking the vehicle) and to move away from the narrower parking space where There is not enough room in the vehicle to open the door
In such scenarios, the driver cannot leave the vehicle or enter the vehicle to exit the parking space after the vehicle is parked

Embodiment Construction

[0011] While the invention may be embodied in various forms, some exemplary and non-limiting embodiments are shown in the drawings and will be described below, it is to be understood that this disclosure is to be considered exemplary of the invention and is not intended to limit the invention to Limited to the specific embodiments described.

[0012] The Remote Park Assist (RePA) system autonomously parks the vehicle when the driver is outside the vehicle. Currently, normal parking spaces are 7.5 to 9.0 feet wide. However, as space in urban areas becomes more valuable and vehicles with remote parking assistance become more common, parking spaces will narrow. For example, a parking space may be designed with three inches of clearance on each side of the vehicle. Under such conditions, the occupant of the vehicle must leave the vehicle before it can be parked.

[0013] As disclosed below, the driver uses voice commands in conjunction with the key fob to control the parking an...

Abstract

The invention provides accelerometer-based external sound monitoring for position aware autonomous parking. A method and an apparatus are disclosed for accelerometer-based external sound monitoring for position aware autonomous parking. An example vehicle includes accelerometers mounted on windows of the vehicle, a computing platform communicatively coupled to the accelerometers, and an autonomy unit. The computing platform receives, via the accelerometers, signals indicative of a stop command associated with a voice. Additionally, the computing platform validates the stop command when the voice either is authorized or originates from within an emergency zone. The autonomy unit prevents autonomous motion of the vehicle in response to receiving the validated stop command.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to remote parking assistance systems, and more specifically, to accelerometer-based external sound monitoring for location-aware autonomous parking. Background technique [0002] A semi-autonomous vehicle is a vehicle that is normally operated by a driver but has certain dedicated functions that are autonomous. For example, some vehicles have adaptive cruise control or autopilot, which in certain situations helps the vehicle control the speed and course of the vehicle independently of driver control inputs spacing. Vehicles are increasingly equipped with parking assistance functions that park and drive the vehicle away. However, in some scenarios, it is necessary to park a vehicle in a narrower parking space (or the parking space narrows after parking the vehicle) and to move away from the narrower parking space where There is not enough room in the vehicle to open the door of the vehicle. In such scenarios,...
