Classification: CPC B  G  Y | IPC B  G

Claim 9:
10. A system for providing autonomous vehicle assistance to free a vehicle from a stuck condition, comprising:
a plurality of vehicle sensors to gather sensor data indicating a condition of the vehicle, wherein the sensor data comprises throttle data associated with a throttle control circuit of the vehicle and vehicle movement data associated with a position determination system of the vehicle;
an analysis circuit comprising a receiver to receive the sensor data from the plurality of vehicle sensors, a processor, and a memory coupled to the processor to store instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
when the throttle data identifies application of a throttle and the vehicle movement data identifies no forward or backward movement of the vehicle, determining from the sensor data that the vehicle is in the stuck condition; and
obtaining a learned solution for freeing the vehicle from the stuck condition, the learned solution comprising a vehicle extrication technique output from a machine learning algorithm trained using data from at least one previously employed vehicle extrication technique and comprises a level of successful vehicle extrication of the at least one previously employed vehicle extrication technique; and

a blending system to:
take over at least partial control of the vehicle from its operator; and
apply the learned solution to the vehicle to extricate the vehicle from the stuck condition.
