Systems for a vehicle include a sound system that detects and compensate for objects that block or muffle sound in the interior of the vehicle; light bars positioned under the headliner of the vehicle or on the front or back of the vehicle that can emulate headlights, taillights, brake lights and turn lights; external light fixtures that are symmetrical around a centerline and can be placed at any position on the front or back of the vehicle without structural change and a collision detection system.

A collision avoidance and/or pedestrian detection system for a large passenger vehicle such as commuter bus, which includes one or more exterior and/or interior sensing devices positioned strategically around the exterior and interior of the vehicle for recording data, method for avoiding collisions and/or detecting pedestrians, and features/articles of manufacture for improving same, is described herein in various embodiments. The sensing devices may be responsive to one or more situational sensors, and may be connected to one or more interior and/or exterior warning systems configured to alert a driver inside the vehicle and/or a pedestrian outside the vehicle that a collision may be possible and/or imminent based on a path of the vehicle and/or a position of the pedestrian as detected by one or more sensing devices and/or situational sensors.

According to one example there is provided a method comprising selecting a first location from a set of locations and analysing, by a processor, data collected from a first vehicle located within a first distance of the first location. A first value representative of a first performance parameter of the first vehicle is generated. A second value representative of a second performance parameter of the first vehicle is generated. At least one of the first and second values is compared with a first threshold and, when one of the first and second values is greater than the first threshold, a safety alert is issued greater than (in some examples, less than).

The hydraulic excavator includes a vehicle body, a work implement , a display section, a detection section , and a display control section. The vehicle body includes a driver’s seat . The work implement is attached to the vehicle body and operates with respect to the vehicle body. The display section is provided on the work implement. The detection section detects an object in a region on a side opposite to the driver’s seat with respect to the work implement around the vehicle body. The display control section displays the information detected by the detection section on the display section.

The disclosure describes embodiments for modifying a whether an ego vehicle changes lanes to a target lane at a target time based on a payload of a Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) message originated by a remote vehicle. In some embodiments, a method includes determining, based on the payload, whether the remote vehicle is changing lanes to the target lane at the target time. The method includes determining that the ego vehicle is changing lanes to the target lane at approximately the target time. The method includes estimating that the ego vehicle and the remote vehicle will collide at the target lane at the target time. The method includes modifying an operation of a vehicle component of the ego vehicle so that the ego vehicle does not change lanes to the target lane at the target time.

Methods, systems, devices and apparatuses for a vehicle control system. The vehicle control system includes a memory. The memory is configured to store multiple charging events that activate multiple charging plans. The vehicle control system includes a navigation unit that is configured to obtain a current location of the vehicle. The vehicle control system includes an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to determine that the vehicle is within a threshold distance of the first charging event. The electronic control unit is configured to control an operation of the vehicle to prepare the vehicle to charge or discharge the battery based on a first charging plan when the vehicle is within the threshold distance of a first charging event.

Systems and methods to augment audio output in an electric vehicle (EV) include obtaining inputs from one or more sensors. The inputs include information about the EV and about one or more persons outside the EV. A current scenario is defined based on the inputs. Whether the current scenario matches a predefined scenario among a set of predefined scenarios is determined, and augmented audio output is produced according to the predefined scenario.

A vehicular safety system includes a rear camera, a left side camera and a right side camera disposed at a vehicle. A control includes an image processor for processing image data captured by the cameras to detect a rear-approaching vehicle that is approaching from rearward of the equipped vehicle. When reverse gear of the equipped vehicle is not engaged, and responsive to determination of a potential collision between the detected rear-approaching vehicle and the equipped vehicle, a safety feature of the equipped vehicle is triggered before actual impact occurs. If actual impact does not occur, the triggered safety feature returns to its condition that existed prior to the determination of the potential collision between the detected rear-approaching vehicle and the equipped vehicle. Operation of the safety feature when the reverse gear is engaged is different from operation of the safety feature when the reverse gear is not engaged.
