Abstract:
A method and system for facilitating cost effective, reliable, system redundant, self-driving vehicles involves the employment of specialized lane marking components that permit unprecedented sensor feedback, and in particular, a system and method that enables accurate lane marking recognition despite adverse weather conditions, which presently pose problems experienced by self-driving systems that rely upon vision based camera systems.

Claim (Index 18):
A method for limiting a vehicle's lane departure, comprising:\n providing a vehicle lane departure system having a magnetic sensor adapted to detect a magnetic signal, said magnetic sensor positioned on one of a tire and a wheel of a vehicle to detect magnetic fields from magnetic road markers positioned on a road, said magnetic road markers comprising pavement marking material applied to a roadway surface; said pavement marking material adapted to reflect at least two of the following signals: visible light, laser from a lidar; and a radar signal; said magnetic road markers presenting a magnetic signal and adapted to be positioned substantially on at least one of a lane edge of a vehicle lane on a roadway and in the center of the roadway; said magnetic road markers including one or more rare earth magnetic components and at least one or more RFID tags; detecting said magnetic signals emanating from said magnetic sensor; and detecting the one or more RFID tags by using an RFID tag reader associated with the vehicle; and running a strong electromagnetic element over the surface of the pavement marking material in a fashion such that there is a realignment of the one or more rare earth magnetic components in the pavement material to modify magnetically directional aspects of the pavement marking material.
