A motion sickness estimation device includes: a line-of-sight oscillation detector to detect oscillation of a line of sight of an occupant by using an imaging device; an object oscillation detector to detect oscillation of an object located in the line of sight; an oscillation comparator to calculate an oscillation difference from the oscillation of the line of sight and the oscillation of the object; and a motion sickness determiner to determine, on a basis of the oscillation difference, whether the occupant is in a motion sickness state.

When a vehicle that can travel autonomously is dropped off, a vehicle control apparatus causes the vehicle to move to a standby place by traveling autonomously. Specifically, when the vehicle is dropped off, the vehicle control apparatus determines a moving destination among standby places, based on the current location of the vehicle, and the locations of the standby places, and vehicle-demand prediction information, and instructs the vehicle to move to the determined moving destination.

An automated-driving device causes a test body which is either a vehicle or part of a vehicle to perform automated-driving using a plurality of types of actuators. This automated-driving device includes a plurality of connectors to which the actuators are connected, and a control device that controls movements of the actuators that are connected to the connectors. When one of the actuators is connected to one of the connectors, the control device identifies the type of actuator that is connected.

A method of operating a skew detection system, configured for detecting skew in a control surface of one of wings of an aircraft, includes receiving an inboard signal from an inboard sensor and receiving an outboard signal from an outboard sensor. The inboard and outboard sensors have lines of sight intersecting toothed surfaces of gears of the inboard and outboard gears. Inboard distance and outboard distance travelled by the inboard and the outboard tracks respectively are determined using the inboard and outboard signals from the inboard and the outboard sensors. One of the inboard and the outboard distances is compared with a reference value. An alert indicative of an adverse situation is emitted if the one of the inboard and the outboard distances is different than the reference value.

Systems and methods for preventing spoofing of vehicle identification number (VIN) provisioning service. The system includes a memory that stores instructions for executing processes for preventing spoofing of vehicle identification number (VIN) provisioning service. The system also includes a processor configured to execute the instructions. The instructions cause the processor to receive enrollment information including a VIN and a hardware identifier for enrollment in a provisioning service for a vehicle. The instructions also cause the processor to verify whether the VIN is associated with the hardware identifier. The instructions further cause the processor to transmit a message to the vehicle based on the verification of the VIN being associated with the hardware identifier.
