Abstract:
A turn signal system for activating a turn signal of a vehicle includes an electronic control unit having a processor and a non-transitory computer readable memory including a machine-readable instruction set. The electronic control unit is communicatively coupled to one or more external vehicle environment sensors, a vehicle speed sensor, and a turn signal. The machine-readable instruction set causes the processor to determine a vehicle speed based on an output signal of the vehicle speed sensor, predict a vehicle turning maneuver based on one or more environment signals output by the one or more external vehicle environment sensors when the vehicle speed is below a threshold, and automatically activate the turn signal in response to predicting the vehicle turning maneuver.

Claim (Index 8):
The turn signal system of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more external vehicle environment sensors comprises at least one LIDAR sensor communicatively coupled to the electronic control unit, and wherein the at least one LIDAR sensor automatically captures topography data and transmits the topography data to the electronic control unit and the machine-readable instruction set further causes the processor to:\n receive the topography data from the at least one LIDAR sensor; and determine at least one of an intersecting thoroughfare and a parking location based on the topography data.
