A system has a communication system that is in communication with a computing system. The computing system runs computer-executable instructions that may examine a profile of a passenger. Furthermore, the system may determine based upon the profile that support is to be provided audibly to the passenger whenever support is provided to the passenger. The system may also detect divergences from a predetermined path or route, which is determined may be determined by comparing a position signal output against the predetermined path. In response to detecting divergences, the system may further output an audible support message having content based on the detected divergences. Moreover, the system may be configured to contact authorities and stop the autonomous vehicle.

A system comprises an illumination source, an imager and a controller. The illumination source is operable to illuminate a subject in a spectrum. The imager is operable to perform a rolling shutter operation and image a subject in the spectrum. The system is operable to selectively illuminate the subject during an exposure of a first part of a first frame. The controller is operable to record an image of the first frame.

A disclosed system includes a mobile application operative on a mobile device to receive user selected options for limiting drive access to a vehicle when the user is not physically present with the vehicle but wishes to allow service personnel access and limited drive functions. The disclosed system allows user selection of the options, then generates an instruction set for controlling one or more drive capabilities of the vehicle based at least in part on the user selected options. The system establishes an encrypted channel between the mobile device and a telematics control unit of the vehicle. The system controls drive capabilities of the vehicle via the encrypted channel such that the mobile application user can provide remote access for locking, unlocking, ignition, and further restrict drive functions based on time, date, distance, geo-fence options, and other criteria.

Methods, systems, devices and apparatus for unlocking a bicycle light. The bicycle light includes a power socket configured to receive a charging device. The bicycle light includes a light having multiple states. The multiple states include a locked state, an unlocked state, a powered on state, and a powered off state. The light is configured to illuminate when the in the powered on state. The bicycle light includes a controller. The controller is coupled to the power socket and the light. The controller is configured to determine that the light is in the locked state. The controller is configured to detect electrical power from the power socket. The controller is configured to switch the light from the locked state to the unlocked state when the electrical power is detected.

A vehicle control apparatus is mounted on a vehicle to perform wireless communication with a portable terminal. The vehicle control apparatus includes a first processor and a second processor. The first processor execute a first process to determine whether or not a wireless signal is a regular wireless signal transmitted from the portable terminal. The second processor executes a second process including an authentication of the portable terminal in response to the received wireless signal being determined to be the regular wireless signal, and does not execute the second process in response to the received wireless signal being determined to be not the regular wireless signal. Herein, a power consumption when the first processor executes the first process is smaller than a power consumption when the second processor executes the second process.
