A vehicle control device includes a recognizer configured to recognize a surrounding environment of a vehicle on the basis of a detection result of a detector configured to detect a situation outside the vehicle, a driving controller configured to perform at least one of speed control and steering control of the vehicle on the basis of a recognition result of the recognizer, and a door controller configured to perform opening control for opening a door of the vehicle. The door controller starts opening control for opening the door of the vehicle if the recognizer has recognized a predetermined motion of a user when the vehicle travels according to control of the driving controller.

A vehicle control system includes: a terminal configured to be carried by a user; and a control device configured to execute remote autonomous moving processing to move a vehicle from an initial position to a stop position. The terminal includes: a touch panel configured to display an acceptance area that accepts a prescribed repetitive operation performed for continuing traveling of the vehicle and to display a suspension icon that accepts an operation performed for stopping the vehicle; and a processing unit configured to make the touch panel display the suspension icon at a part where the repetitive operation has been performed when the repetitive operation is stopped. When the control device or the processing unit determines that the suspension icon is operated or that the repetitive operation is not resumed within a prescribed period after the repetitive operation has been stopped, the control device stops the vehicle.

A parking control method causes a control device of a vehicle to execute a first control instruction for moving the vehicle along a first route to a target parking space, on the basis of an operation command acquired from an operator located outside the vehicle. This method includes, when execution of the first control instruction is suspended or canceled, calculating a second route for the vehicle to leave with a predetermined distance or more from an object detected around the vehicle and causing the control device to execute a second control instruction for moving the vehicle along the second route.

A vehicle maneuvering apparatus comprises an imaging device configured to capture image data and a controller in communication with a vehicle maneuvering system. The controller is configured to identify a coupler position of a trailer in the image data and compare a coupler height of the coupler position with a hitch height of a hitch ball. In response to the coupler height being insufficient to clear the hitch height, the controller is further configured to calculate a target position laterally offset from the coupler position and communicate the target position to the vehicle maneuvering system.

The present disclosure relates to a remote parking control apparatus, a system including the same, and a method thereof. The remote parking control apparatus includes a communication device configured to perform wireless communication with a parking assistant system in a vehicle, a controller configured to constitute one or more available remote control mode selection screen, and if one of the one or more available remote control mode is selected, constitute a control mode screen, and a display configured to display the one or more available remote control mode selection screen and the control mode screen.

The present disclosure relates to a remote parking control apparatus, a system including the same, and a method thereof. The remote parking control apparatus includes a communication device configured to perform wireless communication with a parking assistant system in a vehicle, a controller configured to constitute one or more available remote control mode selection screen, and if one of the one or more available remote control mode is selected, constitute a control mode screen, and a display configured to display the one or more available remote control mode selection screen and the control mode screen.

Method and apparatus are disclosed for interface verification for vehicle remote park-assist. An example vehicle system includes a vehicle and a mobile device. The mobile device includes a touchscreen and a controller. The controller is to present, via the touchscreen, an interface of a remote parking app and receive, via the touchscreen, an input to initiate remote parking when the interface is presented. The controller is to temporarily stop presenting the interface and stop initiation of remote parking responsive to continuing to receive the input when the interface is not displayed.

The present disclosure is directed toward a steering wheel alignment apparatus that includes a sensor, a sensor housing, an anchor portion, and a weighted portion. The sensor is configured to measure an angular position of the steering wheel. The sensor housing defines a cavity to hold the sensor. The anchor portion extends from the sensor housing and is configured to engage with a low portion of a steering wheel. The weighted portion extends from the anchor portion to bias the sensor housing toward the low portion.

An apparatus for controlling remote parking in a vehicle is provided. The apparatus includes an ultrasonic sensor that measures a distance from the vehicle to an obstruction and a receiver that receives a surround view monitoring (SVM) image. A controller executes remote parking of the vehicle by selectively using the distance from the obstruction, the distance being measured by the ultrasonic sensor, and the SVM image received by the receiver.

A remote control system for a vehicle including: a user terminal; and a vehicle configured to transmit/receive information to/from the user terminal through a communication network. The vehicle performs first authentication on a user by comparing a captured image of the user to a reference image in response to an unlocking signal or start-up request signal received from the user terminal, and transmits second authentication pre-processing information to the user terminal, the second authentication pre-processing information being obtained by generating an encryption key from a feature vector extracted from the image of the user and encrypting unique information of the user. The user terminal performs second authentication on the user by decrypting the second authentication pre-processing information received from the vehicle with a decryption key stored therein.
