Abstract
A processing system for a driven vehicle comprising a detector to detect an object which is in an area surrounding the driven vehicle via one or more sensors mounted on the driven vehicle, and to generate position data and size data corresponding to the detected object. The system may include a calculator to calculate an adjustment signal based on the position data and the size data. The system may also include a controller to adjust the driven vehicle's cabin height and/or the driven vehicle's wheelbase width, based on the calculated adjustment signal, such that the driven vehicle avoids colliding with the detected object. Collision may be avoided by the system via elevating the vehicle cabin above the road using an expandable suspension system. Further, an omni-directional telescoping shaft and wheel assembly system with in-wheel motors may be used for maneuvering the vehicle and/or altering the wheelbase width.
