The present technology relates to a vehicle that enables to improve designability while avoiding deterioration of safety and functionality of the vehicle.

The vehicle includes: a front line extending in a vehicle width direction on a front surface of a body; and a headlight arranged on left and right of the front surface, divided vertically by the front line, and configured to output a low beam from a portion above the front line and output a high beam from a portion below the front line. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a vehicle.

Methods and systems for managing traversals of one or more vehicles through a traffic intersection are proposed. In one example, a method comprises: receiving a first message including one or more motion characteristics of one or more vehicles approaching the traffic intersection; forming a motion group; grouping a subset of the one or more vehicles into the motion group based on the one or more motion characteristics; assigning a leader vehicle for the motion group; determining a group maneuver target for the motion group to traverse through the traffic intersection; and transmitting, to the leader vehicle of the motion group, a second message including the group maneuver target for the motion group, to enable the leader vehicle of the motion group to control a motion of each member vehicle of the motion group based on the group maneuver target.

A vehicle control device includes a communication unit configured to communicate with a plurality of autonomous driving vehicles configured to perform autonomous traveling, and a processor. The processor is configured to, when an abnormality occurs in or around at least one first autonomous driving vehicle among the plurality of autonomous driving vehicles, determine a travel instruction for controlling traveling of the first autonomous driving vehicle, transmit the travel instruction to the first autonomous driving vehicle via the communication unit, set a priority representing the degree of the priority in which an instruction operator is notified of the travel instruction in the order determined according to the content of the abnormality, notify any one of at least one instruction terminal of the determined travel instruction in the order of highest priority, and receive a result of checking the determined travel instruction from the instruction terminal.

Techniques for determining a location and type of traffic-related features and using such features in route planning are discussed herein. The techniques may include determining that sensor data represents a feature such as a traffic light, road segment, building type, and the like. The techniques further include determining a cost of a feature, whereby the cost is associated with the effect of a feature on a vehicle traversing an environment. A feature database can be updated based on features in the environment. A cost of the feature can be used to update costs of routes associated with the location of the feature.

An example operation may include one or more of detecting a potential event via sensors on a transport, sending data related to the potential event to other transports within a predefined distance, storing the data at the transports and a server, and performing a transport operation response on the transports.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for monitoring a dedicated roadway the runs in parallel to a railroad. In some implementations, a system includes a central server, an interface, and sensors. The interface receives data from a railroad system that manages the railroad parallel to the dedicated roadway. The sensors are positioned in a fixed location relative to the dedicated roadway. Each sensor can detect vehicles in a first field of view on the dedicated roadway. For each detected vehicle, each sensor can generate sensor data based on the detected vehicle in the dedicated roadway and the data received at the interface. Each sensor can generate observational data and instruct the detected vehicle to switch to an enhanced processing mode. Each sensor can determine an action for the detected vehicle to take based on the generated observational data.

A position detection system using a sensor, including a sensor unit including a plurality of sensors for transmitting a transmission signal or receiving a reflection signal reflected from an obstacle and configured to acquire a time of flight (TOF) of the received reflection signal, a storage unit configured to pre-store a position map of the obstacle for respective sensors depending on the TOF of the reflection signal on a grid map including a plurality of cells, and a position estimator configured to estimate a position of the obstacle based on the TOF of the reflection signal received by the sensor unit and the position map of the obstacle pre-stored in the storage unit.

A vehicle display device, includes: a curve information acquisition section configured to acquire information relating to a degree of curvature of a travel lane; a deceleration determination section configured to determine whether or not deceleration of a vehicle is required based on the degree of curvature of the travel lane and a vehicle speed; and a marking display section configured to, in a case in which deceleration is required, cause a display device to display a predetermined first marking superimposed along the travel lane at a display region inside a vehicle cabin.

An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle motion control device that generates a travel path capable of realizing comfortable ride comfort and high safety with a small physical quantity related to a vehicle behavior such as a longitudinal acceleration, a lateral acceleration, and a vertical acceleration generated when a vehicle passes or avoids with respect to a predetermined region such as unevenness on a course of a vehicle. Therefore, the vehicle motion control device includes a vehicle behavior prediction portion that predicts a physical quantity related to a vehicle behavior that occurs when a vehicle maintains a reference route toward a predetermined region on a course and a physical quantity related to a vehicle behavior that occurs when the vehicle shifts to an avoidance route for avoiding the predetermined region, and a path generation portion that generates a travel path defined by the reference route or the avoidance route in which the physical quantity is smaller than a defined value.

According to one embodiment, a system receives a captured image perceiving an environment of an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV) from an image capturing device of the ADV capturing a plurality of obstacles near the ADV. The system generates a first tunnel based on a width of a road lane for the ADV, where the first tunnel represents a passable lane for the ADV to travel through. The system generates one or more additional tunnels based on locations of the obstacles, where the one or more additional tunnels modify a width of the passable lane according to a level of invasiveness of the obstacles. The system generates a trajectory of the ADV based on the first and the additional tunnels to control the ADV according to the trajectory to navigate around the obstacles without collision.
