Patent attributes
A computer-implemented method for controlling a vehicle comprises: receiving tracking data associated with a surrounding environment of the vehicle; detecting, based upon the tracking data, an object in the surrounding environment of the vehicle; determining a location of the object; determining, based on navigation assistance data, whether the location of the object is at least partially within a classified area in the surrounding environment; and configuring a control system of the vehicle to: initiate, based upon determining that the location of the object is not at least partially within the classified area, a first collision avoidance response procedure for responding to the object; and initiate, based upon determining that the location of the object is at least partially within the classified area, a second collision avoidance response procedure for responding to the object, the second collision avoidance response procedure different from the first collision avoidance response procedure.
