Abstract: An audible output of a vehicle is controlled based on a variety of driving characteristics and ambient conditions. In response to receiving an indication of a triggering of an activator of a horn of a vehicle, the system determines a driving characteristic of the vehicle based on vehicle sensor data. Then, based on the driving characteristic(s) determined, and/or based on the ambient conditions, an audible output tune is automatically set for output by the vehicle. A tune and volume of the audible output selected when the driving conditions and ambient conditions indicate an emergency situation will be different from the tune and volume selected for a non-threatening situation. Also, an audible output tune may be selected to be output at a later time when the vehicle reaches a destination to signal a person at the destination that the vehicle has arrived.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for improving efficiency of electric vehicle charging stations by allowing multiple charging connectors from each charging port at a station, so that the connectors can be plugged into multiple vehicles at the same time, establishing a queue based on order of arrival and other factors, and automatically switching active charging among the connectors. Specifically, the vehicle charging station identifies a plurality of vehicles simultaneously electrically connected to a plurality of charging cables, then identifies an order of connection of the plurality of vehicles to the plurality of charging cables, and based on the order of connection, selects a subset of the plurality of vehicles to be charged, then configures the switch system to enable the at least one power generator to charge the subset of the plurality of vehicles.

Abstract: System and methods are disclosed for engaging and disengaging a regenerative braking system of a first vehicle coupled to a second vehicle. In an embodiment, a coupler (e.g., a tow bar) connects the front of a first vehicle (e.g., a towed vehicle) to the rear of a second vehicle (e.g., towing vehicle). The regenerative braking systems includes a motor-generator coupled to a wheel set of the first vehicle and a battery for storing electrical power generated by the motor-generator. The motor-generator is used to apply an accelerating force to the driven wheel set when forward acceleration is needed. The motor-generator is also used to generate electrical power by harnessing the vehicles' momentum to turn the rotor of the motor-generator, which causes a decelerating torque to be applied to the driven wheel set.
