A system and method of parking a vehicle is disclosed. A vehicle may be provided with a manual transmission. The vehicle may be equipped with an automatically modulated clutch. A target parking space may be identified. The clutch may be modulated automatically through a controller to move the vehicle while scanning the target parking space. The vehicle may be automatically steered through the controller while simultaneously modulating the clutch automatically through the controller to move the vehicle into the target parking space.

A computer, including a processor and a memory, the memory including instructions to be executed by the processor to receive a vehicle path from a server computer and verify the vehicle path based on vehicle dynamics and vehicle constraints. The instruction can include further instructions to, when the vehicle path is verified as correct, operating the vehicle on the vehicle path and, when the vehicle path is verified as incorrect, stopping the vehicle.

A vehicle control system for moving a vehicle to a target location is disclosed. According to examples of the disclosure, a camera captures one or more images of a known object corresponding to the target location. An on-board computer having stored thereon information about the known object can process the one or more images to determine vehicle location with respect to the known object. The system can use the vehicle's determined location and a feedback controller to move the vehicle to the target location.

This work vehicle is provided with an emergency brake function for quickly bringing said work vehicle to an emergency stop when an abnormality has occurred inside of the vehicle. The work vehicle comprises: a foot brake for braking left and right rear wheels; an autonomous travel unit that enables autonomous travel of the vehicle; and an electric actuator for switching the foot brake between a braking state and a release state. The autonomous travel unit comprises a control unit that controls the operation of the electric actuator. When in an autonomous travel mode, the control unit controls the operation of the electric actuator and switches the foot brake from the release state to the braking state when an abnormality is detected inside of the vehicle on the basis of detection information from a vehicle state detection device for detecting the state of each part of the vehicle, or when an emergency stop command is acquired from a wireless communication device set so as to be capable of wireless communication with the autonomous travel unit.

Provided is a vehicle control device that can reduce discomfort of an occupant during parking control. The vehicle control device 10 includes a route calculator 11 that calculates a parking route of a vehicle, a travel controller 12 that makes the vehicle travel along the parking route, and a route selector 13 that selects either an original parking route or a new parking route when the vehicle traveling along the parking route stops at a stop position before a turn-back position, the new parking route being calculated at the stop position. The travel controller 12 makes the vehicle travel from the stop position along the parking route selected by the route selector 13.

A platooning controller includes a processor configured to share information about a first platooning vehicle of a group of platooning vehicles with other platooning vehicles of the group of platooning vehicles when a brake of the first platooning vehicle breaks down during platooning and to perform braking control, and a storage configured to store data and an algorithm for platooning and braking control by the processor. The processor is configured to rearrange the group of platooning vehicles depending on a location where the first platooning vehicle is arranged in a platoon line, to decelerate the first platooning vehicle and a second platooning vehicle in front of the first platooning vehicle, and to center the first platooning vehicle and the second platooning vehicle to perform the braking control.

A method is disclosed for improving the permissiveness of a vehicle designed to operate within an operational design domain (“ODD”) where the vehicle has an autonomous vehicle control system capable of collecting sensor data. The method, which can be incorporated into a system or into instructions placed on storage media, includes partitioning the ODD into subsets (“micro-ODDs”) that relate to different operational situations and creating safety envelopes for those subsets. The safety envelopes are used to keep the vehicle operating safely and can be optimized to improve permissiveness of the vehicular operation.

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.

The vehicle stop position accuracy is improved. A parking assist device, which assists parking of a vehicle at a target stop position, includes: a traveling distance calculation unit that calculates a traveling distance of the vehicle based on a wheel speed pulse; and a braking/driving force calculation unit that determines a remaining distance to the target stop position based on the traveling distance, and switches control of the braking force of the vehicle from feedback control to feedforward control when the remaining distance becomes a value equal to or less than a predetermined value.

A braking assist control device for a vehicle including a detector and a braking assist control device is provided. The braking assist control device includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire information on an ambient environment of an own vehicle from the detector, and a control unit configured to cause the braking assist device to perform intersection entry prevention assist in a case where it is determined, using the acquired information on the ambient environment, that the own vehicle is approaching an intersection and an own lane in which the own vehicle is traveling is a non-priority lane with respect to an intersecting lane.
