Provided is a vehicle-mounted update device for acquiring an update program transmitted from an external server located outside a vehicle, and performing processing for updating a program of a vehicle-mounted ECU mounted in the vehicle, the vehicle-mounted update device including a control unit for controlling transmission of the update program, and a plurality of communication units to which the vehicle-mounted ECU is connected, and when acquiring the update program, the control unit acquires information regarding a communication unit to which a vehicle-mounted ECU to be updated is connected from the external server, and outputs the update program from the communication unit to which the vehicle-mounted ECU to be updated is connected, based on the acquired information regarding the communication unit to which the vehicle-mounted ECU to be updated is connected.

An input unit 81 receives input of a normal pattern file including information indicating a normal condition of a vehicle, and a fault pattern file including information indicating a sign that a vehicle fault is about to occur. A collection unit 82 collects observation data observed by each device in the target vehicle. A comparison unit 83 compares the content of the normal pattern file with the content of the observation data. when the difference between the content of the normal pattern file and the content of the observation data is greater than a predetermined first threshold value, the comparison unit 83 further compares the content of the fault pattern file and the observation data, and when the difference between the content of the fault pattern file and the observation data is within a predetermined second threshold value, determines that there is the sign of the fault in the target vehicle.

An example method of providing an at least partially automatic driving function and/or a personalized function in a motor vehicle as well as to the motor vehicle may include establishing a communication link between a communication interface of the motor vehicle and a communication interface of a mobile terminal, which is associated with a user of the motor vehicle; receiving terminal data transferred via the communication link in the motor vehicle, which is recorded on the mobile terminal and which describes at least navigation information and/or user information relating to the user; and providing an at least partially automatic driving function of a driver assistance system of the motor vehicle and/or a personalized function in the motor vehicle by evaluating the received terminal data.

A current location and a destination location of a vehicle are identified. A stowage parameter is predicted based on the current and destination locations. A vehicle component is actuated based on the stowage parameter.

Some embodiments of the disclosed subject matter are directed to a vehicle door that includes a door frame and a door trim with pinch sensor located adjacent the door frame. A door harness coupler can hang within the door frame prior to assembly of the door, and can be connected to a pinch sensor coupler adjacent the door trim to electrically connect the pinch sensor to a controller and/or door actuator. Thus, the pinch sensor can be installed at the end of a door assembly line.

A method for joining a drivetrain to a vehicle body, includes the steps of: transferring the drivetrain and the vehicle body into a joining position, arranging an electrical connecting element on a chassis part of the drivetrain, and joining the drivetrain to the vehicle body, wherein the drivetrain and the vehicle body are connected together at predetermined points via fasteners.

A wiring member includes: a plurality of wire-like transmission members including a first wire-like transmission member and a second wire-like transmission member; and a plurality of sheets including a first sheet and a second sheet stacked on each other, wherein the first wire-like transmission member is fixed to the first sheet, the second wire-like transmission member is fixed to the second sheet, and at least one fixing position between the first sheet and the second sheet is partially provided along a longitudinal direction of the wire-like transmission members.

A fixing structure of a wiring member includes: a wiring member including at least one wire-like transmission member; a heat generation layer provided to surround a periphery of the wiring member; an adherend to which the wiring member is fixed; and a joint layer provided on at least a portion between the heat generation layer and the adherend and a portion between the heat generation layer and the wiring member, wherein the heat generation layer is a layer which can generate heat by induction heating, the joint layer is a layer having bond properties by heat transmitted from the heat generation layer at a time of induction heating, and is joined to the heat generation layer and at least one of the adherend and the wiring member.

An in-vehicle relay apparatus provided on a roof of a vehicle includes: a first connector connected to a power line and a communication line provided on one pillar of the vehicle; a second connector to which a power line and a communication line provided on a different pillar are connected; a branch line connector to which power lines and communication lines extending from a plurality of in-vehicle devices provided on the roof are connected; a branching portion branching a single wire system into power lines connected to the branch line connector, the single wire system being a system in which the power lines respectively connected to the first connector and the second connector are integrated into one system; and a relay unit relaying data passing between the communication lines connected to the first connector and the second connector and the communication lines connected to the branch line connector.

A display control device includes a hardware processor. The hardware processor implements functions of a first operating system, a second operating system, and a hypervisor. The first operating system controls execution of at least one of a first application and a second application. The first application serves to generate a first content image to be displayed on a first display device mounted on a vehicle. The second application serves to generate a second content image to be displayed on a second display device mounted on the vehicle. The second operating system is different from the first operating system. The hypervisor controls execution of the first operating system and the second operating system.
