VEHICLE COLLISION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM RESPONSIVE TO USER-SELECTED PREFERENCES

摘要

Described embodiments include a system, method, and vehicle. A system includes a collision management algorithm that includes preferences utilizable in determining a management of a possible collision between a collision-managed vehicle and an external object. A preference includes a vehicle collision management preference inputted by a human user of the collision-managed vehicle. The system includes a damage mitigation circuit configured to determine in at least substantially real time a collision mitigation strategy applicable to the collision-managed vehicle. The collision mitigation strategy is determined in response to (i) the collision management algorithm with the inputted vehicle collision management preference incorporated therein, and (ii) a predicted likelihood of a collision between the collision-managed vehicle and a particular external object. The system includes an instruction generator circuit configured to generate collision management instruction responsive to the determined collision mitigation strategy.
