    摘要: A control device controls a vehicle having a predetermined function. The control device is configured to obtain, via a network, data on availability of the predetermined function of the vehicle from a server that stores the data, and obtain the data, which is obtained from the server by a terminal device of a user of the vehicle, from the terminal device, and the control device comprises a control unit configured to: determine, when obtaining the data from one of the server and the terminal device fails, whether the predetermined function is available based on the data obtained from the other one of the server and the terminal device; and enable the predetermined function when it is determined that the predetermined function is available.

    摘要: A system accesses Autonomous Vehicle Communication Gateway (AVCG) information that comprises information associated with an AVCG manager. The AVCG manager is a software resource configured to transition among states in which the autonomous vehicle operates in response to detecting a respective trigger event. The system determines an autonomy status associated with the autonomous vehicle. The system detects a change in the autonomy status by accessing historical records of event, tracking back through the historical records of events, and tracking back through the AVCG information. The system determines one or more particular events from among one or both of the historical records of events and the AVCG information that led to the change in the autonomy status. The system outputs the cause of the change in the autonomy status.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), and discloses a gimbal control method, a controller, an unmanned aerial vehicle and an unmanned aerial vehicle inspection system. The gimbal control method, applied to a UAV, acquires inspection information about the UAV, including an observation flight leg, an observation interval corresponding to the observation flight leg, a total flight range corresponding to the observation interval and the current flight range. Then, the observation progress of the UAV is determined according to the current flight range and the total flight range. A first position, position of center point of the field of view of the nacelle of UAV, is determined according to the observation progress and the observation interval. Finally, the angle of the gimbal of the UAV is controlled according to the first position and the current position of the UAV.

    摘要: A platooning assistance device and a program with which it is possible to distribute the effect of platooning, and make payment. The platooning assistance device lets each of a plurality of vehicles forming a platoon have: a transaction data generation unit that generates platoon identification information identifying the platoon, vehicle identification information identifying the vehicle, and fuel consumption of the vehicle during platooning as transaction data; and a communication unit that transmits the generated transaction data to a network, and receives, from the network, data is the transaction data of each of the plurality of vehicles, and approved by a blockchain function. Any one of the plurality of vehicles has: a storage unit that stores smart contract data having a programmed, process for distributing the effect of platooning and making payment; and an execution unit that executes the process, on the basis of the approved data, in the blockchain.
