Systems and methods for generating images from an autonomous vehicle ride. The images can include images from inside the vehicle and outside the vehicle, and can be used to create a highlight reel of the ride. The images can be captured automatically and include images of passengers during the ride. The highlight reel is provided to a user who can choose to share it with others.

Provided is a control system using an in-vehicle gesture input, and more particularly, a system for receiving a vehicle occupant's gesture and controlling the execution of vehicle functions. The control system using an in-vehicle gesture input includes an input unit configured to receive a user's gesture, a memory configured to store a control program using an in-vehicle gesture input therein, and a processor configured to execute the control program. The processor performs an information display control for areas layered in a windshield screen according to the user's gesture.

A vehicle comprises user inputs, a monitoring system for detecting and monitoring a pet within the vehicle, and a controller processing signals generated by the monitoring system and determining a location of the pet based on the monitored signals. The controller controls activation of the user input controls based on the determined location of the pet to disable an operating mode of one or more of the user inputs when the pet is detected proximate to the user inputs.

An information processing system includes a vehicle and an information processing device configured to transmit and receive information to and from the vehicle. The vehicle is configured to acquire information on an occupant in a cabin of the vehicle, and operate to affect a perception of the occupant. The information processing device is configured to store a cause of an accident caused by a passenger of the vehicle and control information for operating the operating unit to eliminate the cause of the accident, and transmit the control information to the operating unit of the vehicle when determination is made that the cause of the accident occurs based on the information on the occupant. The vehicle is configured to operate to eliminate the cause of the accident when the control information is received.

The relative position of a user equipment (UE) within a vehicle is determined using angular measurements, such as angle of arrival (AOA), and optionally ranging measurements, with respect to a number of wireless transceivers within the vehicle using wideband signals. The relative position of the UE with respect to a personal zone or the steering wheel may be determined based on known positions of the wireless transceivers. If the UE is determined to be within the personal zone, at least one functionality of the UE is restricted to avoid driver distraction and, optionally, the operation autonomous driving of the vehicle adjusted. If the UE is worn on the driver's wrist the relative position of the UE with respect to the steering wheel may be similarly determined and operation of the vehicle modified if the UE is determined to be outside a threshold distance from the steering wheel.

The present disclosure provides an autonomous driving vehicle detection method and apparatus, an electronic device and a readable storage medium, and relates to the field of computer technologies, and in particular, to the field of artificial intelligence technologies such as intelligent transportation and autonomous driving technologies. A specific implementation solution involves: acquiring passengers' ride information on an autonomous driving vehicle; determining a vehicle component change state of the autonomous driving vehicle according to the ride information of the autonomous driving vehicle; wherein the vehicle component change state includes a door change state of the autonomous driving vehicle and a seat belt change state of the autonomous driving vehicle; and determining a seat load of the autonomous driving vehicle according to the vehicle component change state of the autonomous driving vehicle.

In some aspects, a device may receive point data associated with a cell of an occupancy grid for controlling a vehicle. The device may determine, based on the point data, a characteristic of the cell that is associated with an occupancy probability of the cell, wherein the occupancy probability is determined according to a first technique based on the point data. The device may configure, based on the characteristic, the occupancy probability for the cell, within the occupancy grid, according to a second technique. Numerous other aspects are described.

A passenger detection apparatus may include: an SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) sensor unit having a plurality of SBR sensors installed in respective seats of a vehicle, and connected in parallel to one another; and a control unit configured to detect a combined resistance value of the SBR sensor unit, compare the detected combined resistance value to resistance values of a combined resistance table which is preset and stored in an internal memory, and determine that a passenger corresponding to each boarding zone of the combined resistance table is on board, when the detected combined resistance value is not included in a grey zone.

An emergency halt method for a vehicle driving at least partially in automated fashion. The method includes receiving an emergency halt signal; providing a blocking signal, a first control unit being blocked, and the control over controlling driving maneuvers of the vehicle being withdrawn from the first control unit; and providing a not-drive signal for starting an emergency halt maneuver of the vehicle.

A system for detecting and mitigating an unsafe condition in a vehicle includes an image sensor configured to generate and output image data of one or more seats in a cabin of the vehicle and a processing system operably connected to the image sensor and including at least one processor. The processing system is configured to receive the image data from the image sensor, process the image data to determine a location of at least one passenger in the cabin, detect that the at least one passenger is located outside of the one or more seats based on the determined location of the at least one passenger in the cabin, and operate at least one component of the vehicle in a predefined manner in response to detecting that the at least one passenger is located outside of the one or more seats.
