A vehicle-mounted device (10) includes an accommodation unit (50) that accommodates an electronic key (7) of a vehicle (5), and a first actuator (31) and a second actuator (32) that each perform a button pressing operation on the electronic key (7) that is accommodated in the accommodation unit (50). The accommodation unit (50) allows the first actuator (31) and the second actuator (32) to each perform the button pressing operation on push buttons on different electronic keys (7) of different vehicles (5).

A vehicle system configured to control a vehicle provided with a vehicle platform that includes a drive unit, an auxiliary device, a first controller, a second controller, a high-voltage electric power source, a low-voltage electric power source, an autonomous driving platform that performs autonomous driving control, and a vehicle control interface that connects the vehicle platform and the autonomous driving platform to each other and is configured to convert a first control instruction into a second control instruction with respect to the vehicle platform, and transmit the second control instruction. The vehicle system includes a controlling device configured to cause the second controller and the vehicle control interface to enter an operating state and cut off supply of electric power from the high-voltage electric power source to the drive unit.

An anomaly monitoring apparatus in a remote operation system for remotely operating a mobility entity includes: a log collector that collects an operation log from an operation apparatus which remotely operates the mobility entity and a control log from a control apparatus installed in the mobility entity; an anomaly detector that detects whether an anomaly is present in the mobility entity based on at least one of the operation log or the control log; an attack origin identifier that, when the anomaly detector detects an anomaly, identifies an attack origin that caused the anomaly in the mobility entity from among a plurality of attack origins based on a result of comparing the operation log with the control log; and an anomaly notifier that makes a notification for taking a countermeasure for the attack origin identified by the attack origin identifier.

A vehicle remote function system is provided for use in effectuating vehicle operations based on movement of a fob relative to a vehicle. The system may include a controller for determining locations of the fob within zones proximate the vehicle based on ultra-wide band wireless signals transmitted between the antennas and the fob, the zones including a primary zone and secondary zones, each secondary zone at least partially within the primary zone. The controller may be configured to detect a movement of the fob between secondary zones and generate a control signal for use in effectuating a vehicle operation based on the movement detected. A method is also provided which may include transmitting ultra-wide band wireless signals between the fob and the antennas, detecting a movement of the fob between secondary zones, and generating a control signal for use in effectuating a vehicle operation based on the movement detected.

Apparatuses, systems, and methods are provided for the utilization of vehicle control systems to cause a vehicle to take preventative action responsive to the detection of a near short term adverse driving scenario. A vehicle control system may receive information corresponding to vehicle operator data and ancillary data. Based on the received vehicle operator data and the received ancillary data, a multi-dimension risk score module may calculate risk scores associated with the received vehicle operator data and the received ancillary data. Subsequently, the vehicle control systems may cause the vehicle to perform at least one of a close call detection action and a close call detection alert to lessen the risk associated with the received vehicle operator data and the received ancillary data.

A method for protecting a vehicle, the method may include providing, by an immobilizer, false error information that is associated with a false error; wherein the false error information, once received or processed by an electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle, contributes to an immobilizing the vehicle during a vehicle start process; and sending the false error information to the ECU, during a vehicle shut down process that preceded the vehicle start process.

An auxiliary apparatus may be used with a vehicle having an electric plug. The apparatus may include an auxiliary lighting system having a front facing auxiliary light, a controller, and auxiliary wiring that transmits an electric signal from the electric plug. The controller may be programmed to operate the auxiliary light based directly or indirectly on an electric signal from the electric plug.

A method for activating or deactivating functions in a motor vehicle is provided. A control signal for activating or deactivating at least one function can be input via at least one interface. At least one function includes timer programming and/or at least one function can be activated or deactivated in a remotely controllable manner from outside the motor vehicle via the communication interface. At least one control command is input via at least one interface, via which control command an activation or deactivation of the function is blocked via the timer programming and/or via the communication interface. A device for influencing functions in a motor vehicle is also provided.
