US Patent 10317897 Wearable for autonomous vehicle interaction

An aesthetically pleasing discreet wearable system for interacting with a vehicle, or fleet of vehicles. The wearable system may be worn as a necklace, bracelet, anklet, or the like and allows for communication between a passenger and a vehicle, or fleet of vehicles. A passenger may summon or cancel a ride, alter interior lighting and music levels, or otherwise control a vehicle by interacting with the wearable system. Such interaction includes signals generated by a microphone, by a touch sensor, or by gesture recognition. The wearable system communicates to the passenger a successful summoning of a ride, successfully canceling a ride, and a time to arrival by combinations of vibrations, light emissions, and audio alerts.
