The wife might be aware anyway as she was probably talking at you in the cat at the time!
How will a BMW vehicle for example signal a Ford vehicle that an event has taken place?
Talk of vehicle to vehicle interconnectivity would surely require some form of central processing system or conduit or would cars of all competing makes be able to communicate with each other outside of the driver's control?
I'm trying to understand how this would function in the real world
Say for example I fell asleep at the wheel of my BMW car on a motorway and my car detected this event. Would my car signal to every other make of car in the immediate vicinity that this had happened simply to warn them of such an event simply to make them aware of a heightened risk?
Moreover, would my car signal this event to the -
- The police?
- The authorities (DVLA for example)
- My wife
- The car manufacturer
etc etc etc...you can see how this could become a problem in terms of microscopic monitoring...rules would need to be in place as I suspect one of the main aims for car-makers is to turn the (and your) car into a revenue generating opportunity. For the authorities I suspect monitoring and control would be their undeclared aim
Parliamentary regulation would need to be strict to prevent abuse of liberty
Who would be in the loop and who wouldn't?

METHOD FOR MEASURING A DRIVING EVENT, SERVER DEVICE, AND SYSTEM COMPRISED OF THE SERVER DEVICE AND A PLURALITY OF MOTOR VEHICLES 2019-11-14
A method is disclosed for measuring a driving event, a server device receiving first event data from a first motor vehicle, which first event data signal the driving event identified by a first detection apparatus of the first motor vehicle. The method further provides that the server device generates configuration data on a basis of the first event data in order to configure a second detection apparatus of a second motor vehicle that is different from the first detection apparatus of the first motor vehicle and sends the configuration data to the second motor vehicle in order to generate second event data that describe the driving event.

Most likely my Confirmation Bias is over heating but again this Veoneer patent looks to my untrained eyes to be describing a similar or related invention to the Bosch/Toyota/ Continental / 2019-11-14 patents I pointed out in Fri 10.16 post.

ENHANCED OBJECT DETECTION AND MOTION ESTIMATION FOR A VEHICLE ENVIRONMENT DETECTION SYSTEM 2019-11-14
A vehicle environment detection system (2) that includes at least one radar sensor arrangement (3) and at least one processing unit (4), where the radar sensor arrangement (3) is arranged to detect at least two radar detections (9, 10, 11) during at least two radar cycles. For each radar cycle, the processing unit (4) generates a detection list ({Dit}t=t0, . . . ,t0-N) including range (ri), azimuth angle (fi) and Doppler velocity (vi) for each of the radar detections (9, 10, 11). The processing unit (4) is further arranged to aggregate and store detection lists ({Dit}t=t0, . . . ,t0-N) from the radar cycles in a detection memory (12), and then to group the radar detections (9, 10, 11) in the detection lists ({Dit}t=t0, . . . ,t0-N) into consistently moving motion subsets (40, 41, 42) in a segmentation procedure. Each motion subset (40, 41, 42) corresponds to a certain target object (6, 7, 8).

Hopefully, we could be in a situation in future years much the same as Nokia. They were one of the first to market and registered a huge amount of patents which in the end, became massively valuable to the company. I just hope we don't end up like Nokia in being first to market but not innovating enough to keep up with trends.
S2020, I don't understand it much either so I could easily be posting complete rubbish but I am struck by how Patents which look to be describing similar innovations seem to come like buses.
JC, I must say the detail you find on patents is very impressive, with my little brain I struggle to understand it all.
However I do understand that Toyota pops up a lot, Semicast also mentioned Toyota at CMD last week, Tim was questioned about Toyota and didn't issue a denial.

Three-Dimensional Point Cloud Generated by High-Resolution Flash LIDAR
A method of operating a vehicle image system supported by a vehicle is provided. The method includes receiving data from one or more sensors supported by the vehicle. The one or more sensors capture sensor data of objects in the surrounding environment of the vehicle. The method also includes receiving a storage indication from a user input device. The storage indication is indicative of storing the data from the one or more sensors in the non-transitory memory. The method also includes storing the data after receiving the storage indication and transmitting a command to one or more remote devices causing the one or more remote devices to generate a two-dimensional image or a three-dimensional object based on the received data.

DETERMINING A STATE OF THE SURROUNDING AREA OF A VEHICLE, USING LINKED CLASSIFIERS
A method for determining a state of the surrounding area of a vehicle includes: receiving sensor data of at least one surrounding-area sensor of the vehicle; feeding at least a first portion of the sensor data into at least one first classifier; generating an intermediate probability from the first portion of the sensor data, using the first classifier; feeding at least a second portion of the sensor data and the at least one intermediate probability into a second classifier; generating a final probability of the state of the surrounding area from the second portion of the sensor data and the at least one intermediate probability, using the second classifier.

ADAPTIVE DATA COLLECTING AND PROCESSING SYSTEM AND METHODS 2019-11-14
A vehicle that includes one or more sensors configured to output data and an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to receive first data from the one or more sensors at a first time, detect an object based on the first data received from the one or more sensors at the first time, classify the object into a classification based on the first data received from the one or more sensors at the first time, and receive second data from the one or more sensors at a second time. The second time is subsequent to the first time. The electronic control unit is further configured to select a proper subset of the second data for further processing based on the classification of the object, and track the object based on the proper subset of the second data selected for further processing.

The interesting Linkage to these 2 patents is not only the Identical date and what sounds like a very similar process being described but also Christian Potthost, the Patent guy at Toyota has had an earlier patent assigned to Bosch.
