VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE, VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM AND VEHICLE
A vehicle control device, a vehicle control system and a vehicle are provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the vehicle control device includes a first resistor circuit, a comparator, a control switch, and a second resistor circuit; the comparator is configured to receive a first voltage from the air bag module and output a high level signal to the control switch to enable the control switch to be switched on according to the high level signal, enable a battery management system to be grounded after the control switch is switched on, and enable the battery management system to be powered off after the battery management system is grounded, where the first voltage is sent out by the air bag module when a vehicle collision event is detected.
LATERAL VEHICLE POSITION AND SEAT ORIENTATION CONTROL
Systems, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to keeping a vehicle within a safety envelope. In one embodiment, a method includes determining a safety envelope having a boundary, determining a risk level for an environment surrounding the vehicle, and associating an index value with a location within the safety envelope based on at least one of the risk level and a relationship between the location and the boundary. The method includes, in response to a vehicle being located at the location, tilting a vehicle seat to a tilt angle relative to a floor of the vehicle. The tilt angle can be based on the index value associated with the location.
