A towed vehicle braking system is described that in some embodiments includes a brake pedal connector configured to connect to a brake pedal of a brake of a towed vehicle. A cylinder has a piston connected to the brake pedal connector to actuate the brake of the towed vehicle through the brake pedal connector by applying a positive pressure to the brake pedal connector to move the brake pedal. A vacuum supply line is coupled to a power booster of the towed vehicle brake and configured to provide vacuum to the power booster. A pump is coupled to the vacuum supply line and to the cylinder to alternately provide vacuum to the vacuum supply line and to drive the piston to actuate the brake. An inertial sensor detects deceleration of the towed vehicle, and a processor is coupled to the inertial sensor and to the pump to cause the pump to not provide vacuum and to drive the piston in response to the detection of deceleration.

An electronically controllable brake system for a vehicle includes at least one service brake circuit with service brakes and a service brake control module, wherein a service-brake brake pressure can be fed to the service brakes, and the service-brake control module is designed to generate a service-brake control signal as a function of a braking specification. The service-brake brake pressure can be generated as a function of the service-brake control signal and specified to the service brakes, for the implementation of the braking specification via the at least one service brake circuit, under electrical control by the service-brake control module. The electronically controllable brake system further includes a parking brake circuit with spring-loaded brakes, wherein a parking-brake brake pressure can be fed to the spring-loaded brakes, wherein the parking-brake brake pressure can be generated as a function of the braking specification and specified to the spring-loaded brakes.

A vehicle may have vehicle controls that are used in steering, braking, and accelerating the vehicle. The vehicle may have sensors that gather information on vehicle speed, orientation, and position. The sensors may also gather information on relative speed between the vehicle and a following vehicle, information on risks of a collision between a vehicle and an external object, and other vehicle status information and vehicle operating environment information. Control circuitry may use light-based devices to display braking information, information on vehicle speed, the relative speed between a vehicle and a following vehicle, autonomous driving mode status information, custom brake light information or other user-selected information, or other information on vehicle status and the operating environment of a vehicle.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods related to memory device sensors are described. Memory systems can include multiple types of memory devices including memory media and can write data to the memory media. Some types of memory devices include sensors embedded in the circuitry of the memory device that can generate data. The memory device can transmit the data generated by the embedded sensor using a sensor output coupled to another device. In an example, a method can include generating orientation data, including coordinates, of a memory device by measuring linear acceleration or rotational motion using a motion sensor embedded in circuitry of the memory device, receiving a signal that represents image data from an image sensor, and pairing the orientation data of the memory device with the image data.

A method for adjusting brake pressures of a motor vehicle includes actuating, by a control unit, while taking into account determined dynamic state variables of wheels that are to be braked, a pressure control valve with an inlet valve for ventilating and with an outlet valve for venting the brake pressure line that is controlled by the pressure control valve. The control times of the outlet valve are determined depending on control of the inlet valve.

A collision avoidance system of a vehicle includes a sensor configured to be disposed at a vehicle for sensing exterior and forwardly of the vehicle. A processor is operable to process sensor data captured by the sensor to determine the presence of a pedestrian ahead of the vehicle and at or moving towards a path of travel of the vehicle. The processor determines a time to intersection of projected paths of travel of the vehicle and pedestrian based on a determined distance to the pedestrian and determined speed of the pedestrian and speed of the vehicle. The system adjusts the speed of the vehicle so that the pedestrian will not be in the projected path of travel of the vehicle when the vehicle arrives where the projected path of travel of the vehicle intersects the projected path of travel of the pedestrian.
