Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for an automated door system for a vehicle. In one example, the automated door system may include a key fob configured with a transmitter. A set of sensors may be located at a door of the vehicle which may be communicatively linked to a vehicle control unit. A position of the key fob relative to the door may be monitored by the set of sensors to provide hands-free actuation of the door motor.

Abstract: A position estimation system determines the location of a mobile device relative to a vehicle by wirelessly communicating with the device. The system includes multiple communicators installed at different positions in the vehicle, and a communication controller that manages these communicators. The communication controller collects signal reception strength and a time-of-flight related value from the mobile device. This time-of-flight value indicates the travel time of radio waves between the communicators and the mobile device. A position estimation unit corrects this time-of-flight value using a correction function based on teaching data that includes device positions, signal strengths, and time-of-flight values. The corrected time-of-flight value is used to estimate the mobile device's position. The data volume of the correction function is smaller than that of the teaching data.

Abstract: Systems, vehicles, and methods for ensuring an insurance policy is in place to cover use of a vehicle by an authorized user. A computing device associated with the vehicle executes computer-executable instructions to determine an identity of a user seeking to operate the vehicle and whether an insurance policy associated with the vehicle covers operation of the vehicle by the user. Responsive to a determination that the user is not associated with the insurance policy covering the use of the vehicle, operation of the vehicle by the user is enabled in response to a further determination that the user is covered by an existing insurance policy associated with the user that provides coverage for the operation of the vehicle by the user and an on-demand insurance policy secured by the user that provides coverage for the operation of the vehicle by the user.

Abstract: A vehicular navigation system includes a sensor disposed at a vehicle. The sensor is operable to capture sensor data. Electronic circuitry of an electronic control unit (ECU) includes a data processor operable to process sensor data captured by the sensor to determine an attribute of the vehicle associated with a quality of a road along which the vehicle is traveling. The ECU determines a road quality index of the road along which the vehicle is traveling based at least in part on the determined attribute of the vehicle. The ECU determines a navigation route from a starting location to a destination location based at least in part on the road quality index of roads connecting the starting location and the destination location.

Abstract: Methods and systems for assessing, detecting, and responding to malfunctions involving components of autonomous vehicles and/or smart homes are described herein. Autonomous operation features and related components can be assessed using direct or indirect data regarding operation. Vehicle collision and/or smart home incident monitoring, damage detection, and responses are also described, with particular focus on the particular challenges associated with incident response for unoccupied vehicles and/or smart homes. Operating data associated with the autonomous vehicle and/or smart home may be received. Within the operating, an unusual condition indicative of a likelihood of incident may be detected. Based on the unusual condition, it may be determined that the incident occurred. Accordingly, a response to the incident may be determined. The response may be implemented by the autonomous vehicle and/or smart home.

Abstract: A device, system, and method for an electronic response to a potential carjacking is provided. A device receives: a location and vehicle ignition status of a vehicle; and sensor data generated by one or more sensors that are onboard the vehicle, the sensor data different from the location and the vehicle ignition status. The device determines whether the location of the vehicle is associated with a carjacking type of location, and whether a combination of the vehicle ignition status and the sensor data meet a carjacking threshold condition. When both the location of the vehicle is associated with the carjacking type of location and the carjacking threshold condition is met, the device: outputs an alert at the vehicle indicative of, or associated with, the potential carjacking; and/or causes, a notification to be transmitted to a communication device associated with a public safety agency or a monitoring service.

Abstract: Methods and systems for autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicle control, routing, and automatic feature adjustment are disclosed. Sensors associated with autonomous operation features may be utilized to search an area for missing persons, stolen vehicles, or similar persons or items of interest. Sensor data associated with the features may be automatically collected and analyzed to passively search for missing persons or vehicles without vehicle operator involvement. Search criteria may be determined by a remote server and communicated to a plurality of vehicles within a search area. In response to which, sensor data may be collected and analyzed by the vehicles. When sensor data generated by a vehicle matches the search criteria, the vehicle may communicate the information to the remote server.

Abstract: A machine may comprise a security monitoring system and an engine start/stop system (ESS) where the security monitoring system is configured to detect an object proximate to the machine and classify characteristics of the object and the ESS is configured to turn on an engine of the machine based at least in part on the characteristics of the object. The machine may further comprise a battery to supply power for operation of the security monitoring system and a charging system to charge the battery while the engine is turned on. The ESS may monitor a charge level of the battery, determine whether the charge level is below a preselected threshold start level, and in response to determining that the charge level is below the preselected threshold start level, turn on the engine based at least in part on the characteristics of the object.

Abstract: Aspects provided herein provide methods, apparatus, and a non-transitory computer storage medium storing computer instructions for vehicle disturbance alerting in a network. The method begins with receiving a vibration alert from a sensor installed in a vehicle. The sensor may be an accelerometer, gyroscope, or motion-capable sensor and is in communication with a low power radar sensor that is also installed in the vehicle. A low power radar sensor is activated in response to the vibration alert. At least one radar signature is received from the low power radar sensor. The radar signature is then compared with at least one driver radar signature. The driver radar signature is recorded when a driver occupies a driver seat position and operates the vehicle. Based on the comparison, a determination is made whether to issue a vehicle disturbance alert.
