Abstract:
This disclosure discloses various vehicle technologies for automatically activating a turn signal when a vehicle is turning or changing lanes based on analysis of data, which can include data from an image capture device, radar, a steering angle sensor, and a ultrasonic sensor. This disclosure also contemplates that a decision to automatically activate a turn signal in a vehicle that is turning or changing lanes may take into account whether other vehicles or pedestrians are in vicinity thereof and whether those other vehicles or pedestrians would benefit from the turn signal being activated.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of automatically activating a turn signal source in a vehicle, the method comprising:\n determining, via a processor, that a first vehicle is going to turn or leave a lane based on data from a first data source of the first vehicle; determining, via the processor, that a driver of the first vehicle is applying a steering action to the first vehicle based on data from a second data source of the first vehicle; determining, via the processor, an approximate location of a second vehicle relative to the first vehicle based on data from a third data source of the first vehicle and data from a fourth data source of the first vehicle; activating, via the processor, a turn signal source of the first vehicle.
