A method of controlling an operating condition of a seat belt warning mechanism and a power window of the vehicle is provided. The method, implemented by a computing device of the vehicle, includes detecting, using a sensor of the vehicle, an animal in an interior of the vehicle, activating, automatically and without user intervention, an operating mode for the vehicle responsive to detecting the animal, and controlling, based on the operating mode, an operating condition of a seat belt warning mechanism of the vehicle and an operating condition of a power window of the vehicle.

Disclosed herein is a vehicle theft prevention device. The device can include a data store including event configuration data. The device can include one or more sensors that can sense various types of measurements proximate to a vehicle. The device can include a computing device in communication with the sensors. The computing device can read measurements from the sensors and determine that a particular event has occurred. The computing device can analyze the measurements to determine the particular event occurred based on the event configuration data. When the particular event occurs, the computing device can perform one or more remedial actions.

A vehicle mounted liveness detection system, liveness detection method, apparatus, computer device and storage medium are disclosed. The system includes a Doppler microwave sensor, a camera and an alarm controller. The Doppler microwave sensor is configured to perform a liveness search on an in-vehicle space, obtain a liveness search data, and transmit the liveness search data to the alarm controller. The camera is configured to capture an in-vehicle image of the in-vehicle space and transmit the in-vehicle image to the alarm controller. The alarm controller is configured to perform a liveness detection on the liveness search data, perform a liveness detection on the in-vehicle image and perform an in-vehicle liveness alarm operation when a presence of liveness in the in-vehicle space is detected based on at least one of the liveness search data and the in-vehicle image.

A sensor detects a target by transmitting and receiving an electromagnetic wave, and is arranged in a vehicle compartment. A user's mobile terminal is notified via a cloud system when a vehicle is parked, and a suspicious object around the vehicle is detected by monitoring a periphery of the vehicle using the sensor. An obstacle interfering with a periphery monitoring and disposed in the vehicle compartment is detected using the sensor prior to the periphery monitoring. A detected obstacle is moved so as not to interfere with the periphery monitoring.

An arrangement for operating one or more windows (S1-S4, SF, SH), which are installed in a vehicle (FZ) and in particular delimit a passenger compartment (FGZ) and whose optical properties can be changed by electrical actuation, comprises a position-determining device (ZGA) for determining the position (P1-P3) of an object (IDG1) which is located outside the vehicle (FZ). In addition, the arrangement has a control device (STG, AST) which is configured to actuate the one or more windows (S1-S4, SF, SH) as a function of the position, determined by the position-determining device, and in particular the distance.

A wearable camera includes an image capture device, a processor, and first and second memories. The image capture device images a subject. The first memory at least temporarily stores first communication setting information for communication with an in-vehicle communication device. The second memory stores a program that, when executed by the processor, causes the wearable camera to: perform a communication setting process that establishes a communication connection between the wearable camera and the in-vehicle communication device, delete the first communication setting information from the first memory after a lapse of a certain time from a timer reset, the timer reset occurring in response to establishment of the communication connection between the wearable camera and the in-vehicle communication device, and notify that the first communication setting information is not stored in the first memory, in response to determining that the first communication setting information is not stored in the first memory.

The systems and methods disclosed herein are configured to securely deliver items to a vehicle. In particular, a delivery is authenticated before access is provided to the vehicle.

Methods and systems for autonomous vehicle recharging or refueling are disclosed. Autonomous vehicles may be automatically refueled by routing the vehicles to available fueling stations when not in operation, according to methods described herein. A fuel level within a tank of an autonomous vehicle may be monitored until it reaches a refueling threshold, at which point an on-board computer may generate a predicted use profile for the vehicle. Based upon the predicted use profile, a time and location for the vehicle to refuel the vehicle may be determined. In some embodiments, the vehicle may be controlled to automatically travel to a fueling station, refill a fuel tank, and return to its starting location in order to refuel when not in use.

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for implementation of a vehicle command operation system that may use multi-modal technology to authenticate an occupant of the vehicle to authorize a command and receive natural language commands for vehicular operations. The system may utilize sensors to receive data indicative of a voice command from an occupant of the vehicle. The system may receive second sensor data to aid in the determination of the corresponding vehicular operation in response to the received command. The system may retrieve authentication data for the occupants of the vehicle. The system authenticates the occupant to authorize a vehicular operation command using a neural network based on at least one of the first sensor data, the second sensor data, and the authentication data. Responsive to the authentication, the system may authorize the operation to be performed in the vehicle based on the vehicular operation command.

A system includes a vehicle cover, a mechanical tensioning device, a memory device, storing instructions, and one or more processors configured to execute instructions to perform the steps of a method to secure a vehicle. The mechanical tensioning device may include attachment means to attach the device to a wheel of the vehicle and means to attach a security cable of the vehicle cover integrated into a bottom edge of the vehicle cover to the mechanical tensioning device. The mechanical tensioning device may include a rotational reel connected to either a tensioning motor or a tensioning crank and optionally including either a mechanical bi-stable device or one or more sensors configured to monitor the tension of the security cable when engaged to the mechanical tensioning device. The processor may monitor for a change in tension and execute one or more security measures in response.
