Abstract
Methods and systems for assisting a vehicle in avoiding an object in a roadway and communicating associated information to trailing vehicles. Image data is sensed by a vehicle image sensor regarding a roadway. A computing system detects an object in the roadway based on the first image data. Feature extraction is performed to extract relevant features of the object, which is fed to an object classification model to determine a class of the object. A threat analysis is performed based on the determined class of the object, outputting a risk score. The first vehicle is commanded to take an action based on the risk score. The class of the object, the risk score, and/or the commanded action taken by the vehicle is communicated to a second vehicle that is approaching the object.
