Aspects of the present disclosure relate to generating notifications of acceleration events for a vehicle operating in an autonomous driving mode. As an example, instructions generated by a planning system of the vehicle are monitored. Determining whether the instructions identify changes in lateral and longitudinal acceleration for the autonomous driving mode. That an acceleration threshold will be met when the vehicle proceeds according to the changes is determined. A notification is generated based on the determination that an acceleration threshold will be met, the notification identifying that an acceleration event has occurred. The notification is displayed to a passenger of the vehicle on a display of the vehicle.

A system and method in a building or vehicle for an actuator operation in response to a sensor according to a control logic, the system comprising a router or a gateway communicating with a device associated with the sensor and a device associated with the actuator over in-building or in-vehicle networks, and an external Internet-connected control server associated with the control logic implementing a PID closed linear control loop and communicating with the router over external network for controlling the in-building or in-vehicle phenomenon. The sensor may be a microphone or a camera, and the system may include voice or image processing as part of the control logic. A redundancy is used by using multiple sensors or actuators, or by using multiple data paths over the building or vehicle internal or external communication. The networks may be wired or wireless, and may be BAN, PAN, LAN, WAN, or home networks.

Arrangements described herein can display a set speed deviation for a vehicle using spatiotemporal patterns. A set speed and an actual speed for a vehicle can be acquired. A deviation between the set speed and the actual speed of the vehicle can be determined. Responsive to determining the deviation between the predetermined set speed and the actual speed, a spatiotemporal pattern can be displayed within the vehicle. The spatiotemporal pattern can indicate to a user the deviation between the set speed and the actual speed via the spatiotemporal pattern. In one or more arrangements, the spatiotemporal pattern can be a repeating wave pattern.

A display device, a display control method, and a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium are disclosed. The display device of an embodiment is mounted on a vehicle and includes: a display part; and a display controller displaying a first image showing a speed range controllable by a driving controller that controls a speed of the vehicle to a constant speed, a second image showing a target vehicle speed of the vehicle, and a third image showing the speed of the vehicle on the display part. The display controller displays the second image in association with an upper limit or a lower limit of the first image on the display part when the speed of the vehicle deviates from the speed range.

A device, system and method notifying a selected recipient that a driver of a vehicle has exceeded a posted speed limit. The process includes receiving an indication of a violation from a computing device located in the vehicle, wherein the indication includes information about the vehicle. The indication is received in response to the computing device determining that the driver of the vehicle committed the violation based on the information about the vehicle and the posted speed limit associated with a roadway on which the vehicle is traveling. The process further includes instantly sending a notification to the selected recipient in response indication, wherein the notification indicates that the driver of the vehicle has committed the violation.

Systems and methods for detecting an oscillation of a vehicle. The system comprises a sensor configured to detect an oscillation of the vehicle, and an electronic controller configured to receive an oscillation signal from the sensor, compare the oscillation signal to a detection threshold, and in response to the comparison of the oscillation signal to the detection threshold, generate a signal to activate a braking system of the vehicle and generate a request to reduce torque in an engine of the vehicle.
