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 1):
A turn signal system for activating a turn signal of a vehicle comprising:\n an electronic control unit comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer readable memory; one or more external vehicle environment sensors communicatively coupled to the electronic control unit; a vehicle speed sensor communicatively coupled to the electronic control unit; a turn signal communicatively coupled to the electronic control unit; and a machine-readable instruction set stored in the non-transitory computer readable memory that causes the turn signal system to perform at least the following when executed by the processor:\n determine a vehicle speed based on an output signal of the vehicle speed sensor; \n determine the vehicle speed is below a threshold; \n 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 the threshold; and \n automatically activate the turn signal in response to predicting the vehicle turning maneuver.
