Patent number 11886202 is assigned to Argo AI LLC (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States). The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background information supplied by the inventors: “Autonomous vehicles (Avs) offer a range of potential benefits to society and to individuals such as mobility solutions for those who cannot drive themselves in the form of ride-sharing or autonomous taxi services, and reducing the number of road collisions that stem from errors in human judgement. Avs also provide plausible solutions to the issue of overcrowded highways as connected cars will communicate with each other and navigate an effective route based on real-time traffic information, making better use of road space by spreading demand. However, unpredictable, novel occurrences which fall outside the parameters of the Avs’ programming or training can prompt the AV to cease forward progress until the occurrence is resolved. These “edge cases” include a wide range of unexpected situations that arise in the real world. Recognizing when an “edge case” has occurred and effectively addressing it to permit continued careful forward progress is advantageous.
