Abstract:
Systems and methods for obstacle avoidance with a self-driving vehicle are provided. The system comprises a processor connected to the self-driving vehicle and a sensor in communication with the processor. The sensor is configured to detect objects. The processor is configured to receive a measurement of the self-driving vehicle's speed, and define a sensor region based on the speed. The processor can determine that an object detected by the sensor is within the sensor region, and then initiate a fail-safe routine. The sensor region may be defined based on a range parameter. The sensor region may be defined based on the stopping distance of the vehicle. The sensor region may be redefined when the vehicle's speed changes.

Claim (Index 23):
The method of  claim 22 , wherein the fail-safe routine comprises using the processor to generate a new path for the self-driving vehicle and autonomously driving the self-driving vehicle according to the new path, wherein the new path is generated in order to avoid collision with the object.
