A driving system for a vehicle includes one or more sensors, a controller, an actuator, and a safety shut down switch. The controller includes a main processing circuit, a main processing module, an actuator drive, a safety processing circuit, a safety processing module, and a safety shutdown switch. The safety processing module is independent of the main processing module, and the safety processing module is configured to perform one or more safety functions.

A work vehicle includes: an imaging device that captures an image in which a work target is shown; an image transmission unit that transmits the image captured by the imaging device to a control device; an operation signal reception unit that receives an operation signal from the control device; and an operation control unit that limits the operation signal according to a transmission status of the image.

The present application provides a point cloud data processing method, an apparatus, a device, a vehicle, and a storage medium, the method includes: acquiring, according to a preset frequency, raw data collected by sensors on a vehicle; and performing, according to the raw data of the sensors, data fusion processing to obtain a fusion result. By acquiring, according to the preset frequency, the raw data collected by the sensors on the vehicle in a latest period, and performing the data fusion processing to obtain the fusion result, a synchronous clock source may be removed, a weak clock synchronization may be realized, and the cost may be effectively reduced. The preset frequency may be flexibly set, which, when set with a larger value, can reduce a time difference between the raw data of the sensors and improve data accuracy.

User alert systems, apparatus, and related methods for use with vehicles are disclosed. A disclosed alert system for a vehicle includes an intrusion detection system (IDS) operatively coupled to the vehicle. The alert system also includes a network access device (NAD) operatively coupled to the vehicle and control circuitry configured to detect, via the IDS, a malicious message transmitted through a controller area network (CAN) bus of the vehicle. The control circuitry is also configured to generate a primary alert indicative of the malicious message and transmit, via the NAD, the primary alert to a primary user device corresponding to a driver of the vehicle. The control circuitry is also configured to generate a secondary alert indicative of the malicious message and transmit, via the NAD, the secondary alert to one or more secondary user devices different from the primary user device.

The present disclosure relates to a control system for selectively controlling a vehicle, ensuring high integrity of decisions taken by the control system when controlling the vehicle. The present disclosure also relates to a corresponding computer implemented method and to a computer program product.

A system for automatically stopping an autonomous vehicle, in which the autonomous vehicle includes a primary brake and a secondary brake controlled by least one control module or different control modules. The system includes: an error detection module configured to detect an error in the control of the primary brake or the secondary brake by the one control module or the different control modules; and a supplemental control module configured, upon a detected error by the error module, to cause a stop of the autonomous vehicle using the primary brake or the secondary brake.

A method for controlling the distribution of power to a traction motor in a plug-in electric vehicle having a plurality of on-board sources of electric power. Power is distributed at a normal power control relationship in response to an operator control input during operation in a normal mode. Power is depleted at a first rate during operation of the vehicle in the normal mode. Power is distributed at a derate power control relationship in response to the operator control input during operation in a derate mode. Power is depleted at a second rate that is less than the first rate during operation in the derate mode to conserve the power of the one or more on-board sources. Operation in the derate mode can be initiated in response to information from sensors identifying a vehicle condition indicating a battery charge limitation.

A lighting device includes: a communication unit that communicates with a vehicle which drives autonomously; a diagnostic unit that performs, via the communication unit, diagnosis as to whether the vehicle is being hacked; and a light emitter that emits illumination light onto at least one of the vehicle, a road on which the vehicle travels, or a parking space in which the vehicle parks.

A method for controlling a vehicle controllable in a highly/fully automated manner. The method includes: ascertaining a malfunction of a vehicle control unit of the vehicle, the vehicle control unit being designed for a highly automated and/or fully automated control of the vehicle; switching from the vehicle control unit to an emergency control unit, the emergency control unit being based on a driver assistance system and designed for maximally a conditionally automatic control of the vehicle, and the emergency control unit being configured to effectuate a control of the vehicle in the event of a malfunction of the vehicle control unit; executing the emergency control of the vehicle; and controlling the vehicle with the aid of the emergency control unit based on surroundings sensor data of the vehicle.
