Systems of an electrical vehicle and the operations thereof are provided that use object profiles to select autonomous vehicle operations, including acceleration rate, deceleration rate, steering angle, and inter-vehicle spacing.

Embodiments herein relate to an autonomous vehicle or self-driving vehicle. The level of comfort with autonomous driving offered to the user and the parameters of operation of the autonomous vehicle might increase or decrease a driver's comfort (anxiety) with the vehicle. Sensors in the vehicle can detect a user's driving style, comfort level and may propose an autonomy level to the user and/or parameters of operation.

Systems of an electrical vehicle and the operations thereof are provided.

A vehicle includes two or more soft touch radio frequency (RF) antennas and two or more RF transceivers to communicate sensitive information associated with a user of the vehicle. A processor in communication with the two or more RF transceivers selects a first RF transceiver associated with the deployed RF antenna to send the sensitive information and sends the sensitive information to the first RF transceiver.

An autonomous driving method includes: determining a risk of a target vehicle based on either one or both of a driving characteristic and an appearance characteristic of the target vehicle; and autonomously controlling a host vehicle based on the risk.

According to one embodiment, managing power provided by a battery system can comprise receiving, by a controller of the battery system, a set of management rules defining conditions and actions for altering an allocation of power provided by one or more batteries of the battery system. The controller of the battery system can read a set of configuration information for the battery system. The controller of the battery system can additionally or alternatively read a set of use information for the power source from one or more databases. The controller of the battery system can then apply the management rules using the set of service configuration information and/or the set of use information. Based on applying the management rules, one or more characteristics of the power provided by the battery system can be altered by the controller of the battery system.

According to one embodiment, provisioning an amount of power for one or more vehicles can comprise receiving a request indicating a requirement for an amount of power for the one or more vehicles. The request can indicate the requirement for the amount of power for the one or more vehicles individually or in total. A set of management rules can be read from one or more databases. A set of service configuration information and a set of vehicle specific information for the one or more vehicles can also be read from one or more databases. One or more power sources to meet the requirement for the amount of power for the one or more vehicles can be determined based on applying the management rules and using the set of service configuration information and the set of vehicle information and an indication of the determined power sources can be provided.

According to one embodiment, controlling a battery-powered vehicle can comprise receiving, at a control system of the vehicle over a network connection, a first set of parameters. Each parameter of the first set of parameters can be directed to one or more of a plurality of aspects of operating a battery system of the vehicle. The control system of the vehicle can save the first set of parameters and apply the first set of parameters to operations of the vehicle. Applying the first set of parameters to operations of the vehicle can comprise controlling operations of the battery system of the vehicle to limit power available from the battery system of the vehicle based on the first set of parameters.

Systems of an electrical vehicle and the operations thereof are provided that use identifiers and sensed power source parameters to determine whether a rule, such as a warranty or licensing requirement, has been violated.

A vehicle is provided that detects a first presence of a driver in a vehicle, based upon detecting the first presence, provides a user interface for the driver to enter first user information, information, and communicates the first sensitive information to a vendor to authenticate the combines the first user information and the vehicle information to generate the first sensitive driver to enable the vendor to perform a financial transaction with the driver using the first sensitive information while the vehicle is in motion. The processor is programmed to initiate automatically, on behalf of the driver, the financial transaction with the vendor in response to a sensed state or location of the vehicle.
