Ford Patents Innovative Technology To Detect and Report Speeding Drivers To Cops
Dearborn-based Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:F), known for its work trucks, has patented a method for detecting and responding to speeding violations.
以其工作车辆而闻名的总部位于迪尔伯恩的福特汽车公司(纽交所:F)已申请专利,用于检测和响应超速违规行为。
What Happened: According to the patent application by Ford published on July 18, the processor in a vehicle can identify the speed of a second vehicle with the help of a vehicle speed detection system. The first vehicle can then operate a camera to capture an image of the second vehicle if the speed exceeds a threshold, the patent application proposed.
据福特于7月18日发布的专利申请显示,车辆中的处理器可以通过车辆速度检测系统识别第二辆车的速度。申请提出,如果第二辆车的速度超过阈值,第一辆车可以启动摄像头来捕捉第二辆车的图像。
The image could then be evaluated for identifying features of the second vehicle and a record generated including the speed measurement, the image, and the identifying feature.
然后可以评估图像以识别第二辆车的特征,并生成包括速度测量、图像和识别特征的记录。
In certain cases, the record may be transmitted to another law-enforcement vehicle or an Internet-Of-Things (IoT) unit on the roadside, Ford said in the filing, to enable pursuit or tracking of the overspeeding vehicle.
福特在文件中称,在某些情况下,记录可能会传输到另一辆执法车辆或路边的物联网(IoT)装置,以便追踪超速车辆。
Why It Matters: According to data from the U.S. auto safety regulator National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), speeding was a contributing factor in 29% of all traffic fatalities in 2022. This resulted in 12,151 people dying, and an estimated 300,595 being injured in speeding-related crashes throughout the year.
为什么这很重要:根据美国汽车安全监管机构国家公路交通安全管理局(NHTSA)的数据,超速是2022年所有交通事故死亡人数的29%的因素之一。这导致12,151人死亡,并估计有300,595人在与超速相关的撞车中受伤。
Ford is among the biggest automakers in the U.S. The company sold 536,050 vehicles in total in the second quarter while its rival General Motors sold 696,086 units.
福特是美国最大的汽车制造商之一。该公司在第二季度总共销售了536,050辆汽车,而其竞争对手通用汽车则售出了696,086辆。
The patent filed by Ford to monitor overspeeding, however, might not be deployed on its large fleet. Patents aren't necessarily indicative of a new business, product, or feature.
福特提交的用于监控超速的专利可能并不会应用于其庞大的车队。专利并不一定表示一个新业务、新产品或新功能的指示。
