Disclosed is an electric vehicle, comprising a chassis (1), a vehicle body and a power battery (71), wherein the chassis (1) comprises a frame system (2), a steering motor damping system (13) mounted on the frame system (2), a wheel system (12) connected to the steering motor damping system (13), a steering system (3) mounted on the frame system (2), and a braking system (4) mounted on the frame system (2); and the wheel system (12) comprises a left front wheel (121) using a hub motor, a left rear wheel (123) using a hub motor, a right front wheel (122) using a hub motor, and a right rear wheel (124) using a hub motor. Driving the wheels (121, 122, 123, 124) with the hub motors can omit a traditional mechanical transmission system, so as to simplify the structure of the chassis (1) and reduce the weight of the chassis (1). Compared with a traditional electric vehicle, the electrical vehicle has a lighter weight, smaller volume, reduced mechanical transmission loss, and improved electrical energy utilization rate.

A vehicle rear cargo reminder system having a front door sensor, a rear door sensor, an alerting device and a controller. The front door sensor being configured to detect opening movement and closing movement of a front door. The rear door sensor configured to detect opening movement and closing movement of a rear door. The alerting device is configured to provide an alarm signal. The controller detects a sequence of events via the front door sensor and the rear door sensor. The controller determines whether or not an object might be located beside or on the rear seat of the passenger compartment, and operates the alerting device to provide the alarm signal to the vehicle operator in the absence of detection of conditions of an ignition switch of the vehicle.

Some embodiments are directed to a computer system for enabling an implementer to select software for deployment to a vehicle control system. According to one aspect, a computer system of a vehicle includes a vehicle control system that is configured for operation with the vehicle. The computer system also includes a processor. The processor is configured to identify a set of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) applications for the computer system. Each of the V2X applications of the set of V2X applications is then evaluated based on market penetration rate influence on parameters that affect performance of each of the V2X applications. The processor is further configured to rank each of the V2X applications of the set of applications based on the evaluation. The computer system also includes an implementer configured to select a V2X application from the set of V2X applications based on the ranking to implement using the vehicle control system.

An auxiliary power system for a motor vehicle includes a power generator that generates electricity to charge one or more auxiliary power system batteries. The motor vehicle includes an engine and drive train that distributes power from the engine to the drive wheels. The drive train can include a transmission, a drive shaft and a differential that connects the engine to the drive wheels. The power generator can be connected to the drive train (e.g., the transmission, the drive shaft or the differential) to draw power to generate electricity as well as to apply braking loads on the drive wheels to increase the ability to stop the motor vehicle.

Some embodiments are directed to a processor based computer system for enabling an implementer to select software for deployment to a vehicle control system. The system can include a processor based computer system that is configured to perform a first identifying step that includes identifying available V2X applications for the system, a second evaluation step that includes evaluating parameters for the V2X applications identified in the first identifying step, and a third ranking step that includes raising or lowering the ranking of each V2X application based on the second evaluation step.

A reception unit receives a command which is either a leftward lane change command or a rightward lane change command. A traveling control unit controls the lane change, based on the lane change command. A lighting control unit turns on a direction indicator. A command determination unit causes the traveling control unit to cancel control of both the leftward and rightward lane changes and causes the lighting control unit to turn off the direction indicator, in spite of the reception unit receiving a first lane change command to either leftward or rightward direction as a lane change, and the traveling control unit starting first lane change control, if a second lane change command, which is in a direction opposite to the first lane change, is received before part of the vehicle enters an adjacent lane which is adjacent to a traveling lane where the vehicle travels.

An alarm apparatus to be equipped in a vehicle includes a driving controller. The driving controller is configured to perform automated driving control or driving support control of the vehicle, and to perform driving control of the vehicle. When a detector of the vehicle detects another vehicle approximately behind the vehicle, the driving controller performs acceleration control of the vehicle while the automated driving control or the driving support control is performed.
