A system includes an autonomous vehicle (AV) comprising a sensor, a control subsystem, and an operation server. The control subsystem receives sensor data comprising location coordinates of the AV from the sensor. The operation server detects an unexpected event from the sensor data, comprising at least one of an accident, an inspection, and a report request. The operation server receives a message from a user comprising a request to access particular information regarding the AV and location data. The operation server associates the AV with the user if the location coordinates of the AV match location data of the user. The operation server establishes a communication path between the user and a remote operator for further communications.

An agriculture support device includes a traveling creator to create a scheduled traveling route of an agricultural machine in an agricultural field, a display controller to display on an external terminal a virtual traveling status of the agricultural machine to travel on the scheduled traveling route created by the traveling creator, and a correction permitting controller to permit correction of the scheduled traveling route created by the traveling creator when the external terminal requests the correction. The display controller displays, on the external terminal, the virtual traveling status and a result traveling status of the agricultural machine that has traveled on the scheduled traveling route.

Provided herein is a system and method of a vehicle that detects a signal and reacts to the signal. The system comprises one or more sensors; one or more processors; a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the system to perform detecting a signal from a source; determining an intended action of the vehicle based on the detected signal; sending, to the source, a response signal indicative of the intended action; determining whether the source has sent a response to the response signal; and in response to determining that the source has sent a response to the response signal, taking the intended action based on the response to the response signal.

A method, a system, and non-transitory computer readable medium for controlling an autonomous vehicle are provided. The method includes identifying a trend for an autonomous vehicle based on autonomous vehicle profiles associated with one or more vehicles within a network, identifying optimal driving conditions for the autonomous vehicle based on the trend; and controlling one or more subsystems of the autonomous vehicle based on the identified optimal driving conditions.

A vehicle behavior of a monitored vehicle is learned. A vehicle illumination of the monitored vehicle is detected and monitored. If a light-pattern occurs in the detected vehicle illumination, wherein the light-pattern corresponds to a frequency, intensity and/or color dependent glowing of the vehicle illumination, and further wherein the light-pattern starts with a flashing up of the detected vehicle illumination and ends after a certain time without glowing of the respective part of the detected vehicle illumination, then the method further monitors the light-pattern; monitors a vehicle movement of the monitored vehicle during the occurrence of the light-pattern; and compares the monitored light-pattern with a known light-pattern from a light-pattern data entry stored in an light-pattern database. If the comparison results in the monitored light-pattern being unknown, the method stores the light-pattern and the vehicle movement together as a new light-pattern data entry in the light-pattern database.

A navigational system for a host vehicle may comprise at least one processing device. The processing device may be programmed to receive a first output and a second output associated with the host vehicle; identify a representation of a target object in the first output; and determine whether a characteristic of the target object triggers a navigational constraint. If the navigational constraint is not triggered, the processing device may verify the identification of the representation of the target object based on a combination of the first output and the second output. If the navigational constraint is triggered, the processing device may verify the identification of the representation of the target object based on the first output; and in response to the verification, cause at least one navigational change to the host vehicle.

An automatic working system comprises a self-moving device moving and working in a working region, a handheld device and a control module. The handheld device is configured to move along a perimeter of the working region with a user and comprises a detecting module, detecting the perimeter information of the working region; and an input module, receiving a command of the user for detecting the perimeter information. The control module comprises a perimeter setting unit, generating virtual data of the perimeter, an area calculation unit calculating the area of the working region and a scheduling unit generating a working schedule. The self-moving device comprises a working module, a driving module and a controller. The controller controls the self-moving device to work according to the working schedule.

Provided is a control apparatus for controlling broadcast data to be broadcasted to an occupant of a movable object with an automated drive function, comprising: a travelling road identification unit for identifying a predetermined travelling road of the movable object corresponding to a destination set in the movable object; a setting unit for setting, according to the predetermined travelling road, a recommended switching point for switching predetermined automated drive to driver subjected manual drive in the predetermined travelling road, and setting predetermined passage time when the movable object passes through the recommended switching point; and a broadcast plan generation unit for generating a broadcast plan for broadcasting predetermined broadcast data to an occupant of the movable object according to the recommended switching point; wherein the broadcast plan generation unit determines an order of the broadcast data to be broadcasted within a predetermined period before or after the recommended switching point.

A semi-public blockchain maintained on one or more nodes in a map cloud platform comprises data for maintaining a global map of a predetermined geographic area. The blockchain also comprises a plurality of data records, where each data record is associated with an update to a global map. When a message associated with a map update to the global map is received, the nodes of the blockchain determine a consensus by evaluating the map update, where the evaluating comprises performing a plurality of proofs including a proof of location, a proof of iterations, a proof of physical delivery and a proof of safety. When consensus is attained and the map update is validated, a data record associated with the map update is generated and added to the blockchain with a timestamp and a link to prior data records in the blockchain.

A control device capable of improving the position accuracy of map data is disclosed. The control device is configured to acquire information which is output from a working machine which includes a working part and works along a boundary between a working area and a non-working area. The control device includes an operating state acquisition part configured to acquire information indicating an operating state of a machine body of the working machine; a judgment part configured to determine the operating state of the machine body, based on information acquired by the operating state acquisition part; a position information acquisition part configured to acquire position information indicating a position of the machine body; and a storage control part configured to store the position information acquired by the position information acquisition part in the storage, based on a determination result of the judgment part.
