Abstract: A control unit performs switching control, in automatic driving of a vehicle, between a first automatic driving state of an automatic driving level 2 or lower with manual driving or surrounding monitoring obligation, and a second automatic driving state of an automatic driving level 4 or higher with no surrounding monitoring obligation and allowing sleep, depending on a road on which the vehicle travels. When the control unit determines that a driver is in an asleep state based on a detection result of a detection unit in the second automatic driving state, the control unit performs acceleration control to adjust second vehicle speed in the second automatic driving state to be higher than first vehicle speed in the first automatic driving state, equal to the first vehicle speed, or lower than the first vehicle speed and higher than the second vehicle speed in a current state.

Abstract: In a vehicle computer, a trigger may be received to provide localization data to a first vehicle application that is one of a plurality of vehicle applications in a vehicle that receive the localization data. Based on the trigger, resources can be allocated to a first data container that provides the localization data in a first format specified for the application, and that is one of a plurality of data containers included in the system. The localization data can be provided in the first format to the first vehicle application upon receiving a location request from the application.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for estimating and applying vehicle tire traction. Vehicle data (e.g., movement and location-based data) and tire sensor data are collected at a vehicle and transmitted to a remote computing system (e.g., cloud server). A wear status is determined, and traction characteristics determined for at least one tire, based at least on the vehicle data and the determined tire wear status. The predicted tire traction characteristics are transmitted from the remote computing system to an active safety unit associated with the vehicle, or a fleet management system, wherein the recipient is configured to modify vehicle operation settings based on at least the predicted tire traction characteristics. A maximum speed for the vehicle may be defined by the recipient, or a minimum following distance where, e.g., the vehicle is one of multiple vehicles in a defined platoon.

Abstract: A vehicle moving apparatus stops executing an autonomous acceleration/deceleration control and executes a control to autonomously control an acceleration and a deceleration of an own vehicle so as to maintain a distance between the own vehicle and a preceding vehicle when there is a following vehicle, and a distance between the preceding vehicle and the following vehicle becomes equal to or smaller than a predetermined distance while the autonomous acceleration/deceleration control is executed.

Abstract: A hybrid deterministic override to cloud based probabilistic advanced driver assistance systems. Under default driving conditions, an ego vehicle is controlled by a probabilistic controller in a cloud. An overall gap between the ego vehicle and a leading vehicle is divided into an emergency collision gap and a driver specified gap. The vehicle sensors monitor the overall gap. When the gap between the ego vehicle and the leading vehicle is less than or equal to the emergency collision gap, a deterministic controller of the ego vehicle overrides the cloud based probabilistic controller to control the braking and acceleration of the ego vehicle.

Abstract: Provided are a vehicle obstacle-avoidance method, an apparatus, and a vehicle. The method includes: acquiring obstacle information, in a case that an obstacle is detected; determining whether the obstacle is a straight-going obstacle in a planned route, according to the planned route and the obstacle information; acquiring a center-of-gravity position of a vehicle, a safe stopping distance and a vehicle current speed, in a case that the obstacle is determined as the straight-going obstacle in the planned route; determining a maximum acceleration of the vehicle, according to the center-of-gravity position; and determining a straight-going obstacle-avoidance strategy, according to the obstacle information, the maximum acceleration, the safe stopping distance and the vehicle current speed. In the present application, current actions as well as load conditions of the vehicle are considered to determine the obstacle-avoidance strategy, thereby improving safety of the vehicle while ensuring execution of obstacle-avoidance.

Abstract: A cleaning device for a surface, such as a windshield of a vehicle, includes an active positioning system and a cleaning head. The active positioning system is configured to deploy from a storage position hidden from view within a covered storage space and to position the cleaning head upon the windshield. The active positioning system includes a first extension member and a second extension member that move relative to one another to position the cleaning head, and also move the cleaning head across the windshield along a path. The cleaning head can have a brush portion configured to agitate debris from the window, and a drying portion configured to dry the window after cleaning. The cleaning device can be controlled via a touch-screen display in the vehicle, enabling a user to direct that specific portions of the windshield be cleaned as desired.

Abstract: While operating a host vehicle in a first lane on a road, respective first statistical probabilities of a) an average speed of a plurality of vehicles, including the host vehicle, operating in the first lane, b) an average distance between the vehicles operating in the first lane, and c) an average number of braking events performed by the vehicles operating in the first lane are determined based on sensor data. A high traffic density probability for the road is determined based on the first statistical probabilities. A host vehicle assist feature is transitioned between an enabled state and a disabled state based on the high traffic density probability for the road being greater than a threshold probability.
