A dynamic route finding system 10 for a follower vehicle comprises a display 18, for disposition inside the vehicle, a navigation system 16 employing satellite position sensing for the vehicle, a storage device 15, including map data of a given territory, and an input system 12, 14 for the navigation system to input the location of a potentially dynamic destination of a subject (vehicle). The navigation system 16 is arranged to permit dynamic updating of the destination through the input system 12, 14 whilst guiding the user towards the subject from its current position. The input system may comprise an optical sensor 12, for front-facing disposition in the vehicle; a computer 14, to display on the display 18 images captured by the optical sensor 12; and a user interface 20, enabling user commands to be input to the computer 14, the computer being arranged dynamically to calculate the position of a subject that is captured as an image by the optical sensing means 12, that has been displayed on the display 18, and that has been selected by the user, and to input said position as the dynamic destination of the navigation system 16. The input system may also comprise a network of communication modules in multiple vehicles. |
