Mitigation of safety risks for loss of vehicle safety components

Abstract

Techniques for mitigating risks of a vehicle when turn signal(s) become inoperable are described herein. A vehicle may have turn signal indicators configured to indicate a navigational intent of the vehicle to the proximate object(s). In some examples, turn signal indicators may become inoperable due to a failure of the turn signal indicator and/or a failure of the turn signal controller. Based on determining that the turn signal indicator(s) is inoperable, the vehicle may determine a position of the turn signal indicator(s) on the vehicle (e.g., front right, back right, front left, back left, right side, etc.). The vehicle may use the position data to determine an action for the vehicle to follow. As such, the vehicle may be controlled based on the action.
