Patent attributes
Systems and methods are provided for navigating based on sensed brake light patterns. In one implementation, a navigation system for a host vehicle may include at least one processing device. The at least one processing device may be programmed to receive, from a camera, a plurality of images representative of an environment ahead of the host vehicle; analyze the plurality of images to identify at least one target vehicle in the environment ahead of the host vehicle; identify, based on analysis of the plurality of images, at least one brake light associated with the target vehicle and at least one characteristic associated with changes in an illumination state of the at least one brake light; and cause a navigational change for the host vehicle based on the identified at least one characteristic associated with the changes in the illumination state of the at least one brake light.
