Abstract:
In a vehicle communication system of vehicles, vehicles share environment data such as their location data and 360 degree view of the world with other vehicles using direct vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) real-time data streams. A displayable map of potentially dangerous obstructions on the surrounding roadway is formed using in vehicle environment sensors allowing a driver or the controls of a driverless vehicle to be warned of the danger. A map of blind spots is built up to speed up the processing of incoming data in order to create a more complete picture of surrounding vehicles. Shared data is used to position each vehicle relative to the target vehicle. By sharing obstruction maps between vehicles, a more complete picture of the roadway can be displayed—and one vehicle can in effect “see” through another vehicle or an obstruction.
