Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for optimized driver seat and pedal positioning using ulna length. An example method may include determining, at a first time and using a sensor of a vehicle, an ulna length of a vehicle user. The example method may also include automatically adjusting a seating position of the vehicle user to a first seating position based on the ulna length of the vehicle user.

A lane change support device includes a control unit configured to execute lane change control for enabling a vehicle to automatically change lanes from a lane in which the vehicle is traveling to an adjacent lane. The control unit counts a holding time for which an operation part that is operated to a predetermined operation position to start the lane change control is continuously held at the operation position, starts the lane change control when the counted holding time reaches a predetermined threshold time, and calculates a proficiency level of a driver of the vehicle for an operation of the lane change support device during execution of the lane change control and sets the threshold time to be used for a successive lane change control based on the proficiency level.

In a center server as a control device, a processor is configured to acquire vehicle information on a vehicle, determine a driving skill of a driver from the acquired vehicle information, and notify the driver of permission information for permitting use of a function of the vehicle or application of equipment to the vehicle according to the determined driving skill.

A method and apparatus for determining a slope of a road using a side view camera of a vehicle, the method includes identifying a road image collected from a side view camera, dividing the road image into a plurality of regions, calculating a slope of a road for each of the plurality of regions based on driving lanes comprised in each of the plurality of regions, and determining a slope between the side view camera and the road using the slope of the road calculated for each of the plurality of regions.

The present disclosure relates to user settings on a vehicle. More particularly, this disclosure describes a driver profile reset system and methods thereof to remove those user settings. In an illustrative embodiment, a driver may be presented with a pin pad on a head unit display. The user may enter their pin thereon. The system may authenticate it to enable user settings on the vehicle. Thereafter, the user settings may be removed or wiped from the system to prevent access to such information. The setting, for example, may be removed after the driver unbuckles their seatbelt and opens their door.

A safety switch input diagnosis device includes a circuit formed from a series connection of an emergency stop switch and a line having a resistor. A connection state of the emergency stop switch and failure modes of the lines are diagnosed on the basis of a voltage value at one end of the circuit. Consequently, an operation of the switch and failure modes of a circuit relating to the switch can be diagnosed.

A vehicle control system includes a plurality of driving assistance devices configured to sequentially send request signals including requests to an actuator in the vehicle and identifiers of the driving assistance devices to an in-vehicle network, a movement manager device configured to acquire the request signals from the in-vehicle network, select one of the identifiers respectively included in the acquired request signals based on a predetermined rule, and sequentially send a control signal including at least the selected identifier to the in-vehicle network, and an actuator control device configured to sequentially acquire the request signal and the control signal from the in-vehicle network, when the control signal is acquired, select a latest request signal including the identifier included in the acquired latest control signal among the acquired request signals, and decide a control value of the actuator based on the request included in the selected request signal.

A vehicle control interface includes a control unit configured to: connect between a vehicle platform including a first computer that performs travel control of a vehicle and an automated-driving platform including a second computer that performs automated-driving control of the vehicle and acquire a first control command containing an instruction for the vehicle platform from the second computer; convert the first control command to a second control command for the first computer; and send the second control command to the first computer. The control unit is configured to send, to the second computer, a specifiable range of a physical quantity that is specified by the second computer via the first control command.

A method performed by an electronic device is described. The method includes obtaining sensor data corresponding to multiple occupants from an interior of a vehicle. The method also includes obtaining, by a processor, at least one occupant status for at least one of the occupants based on a first portion of the sensor data. The method further includes identifying, by the processor, at least one vehicle operation in response to the at least one occupant status. The method additionally includes determining, by the processor, based at least on a second portion of the sensor data, whether to perform the at least one vehicle operation. The method also includes performing the at least one vehicle operation in a case that it is determined to perform the at least one vehicle operation.

A system for an automated vehicle includes a user input interface and an electronic controller. The electronic controller is programmed with instructions to operate at least one aspect of the automated vehicle, is configured to process information input through the user input interface, the information including data directed to predetermined parameters related to the at least one aspect of the automated vehicle at a predetermined location, and update the instructions based on the information to alter the least one aspect of the automated vehicle.
