Abstract
(EN)

An autonomous vehicle having a primary navigation system for controlling the direction of the vehicle as it travels across the landscape. In addition, the present invention has a pedestrian protection subsystem to supplement the navigation system using a real-time pedestrian protection subsystem. The pedestrian protection subsystem includes a processor, memory and a detector system for scanning the landscape to locate human breathing patterns. The detector system in one preferable embodiment may be a radar unit.
