A drive assist apparatus, for vehicle, includes a position detector, a storage, a display, an operation unit, and a controller. The position detector acquires own vehicle position information on the basis of a position signal received from positioning satellites. The storage stores road map information. The display displays a symbol representing the own vehicle at a position indicated by the own vehicle position information acquired by the position detector, and displays the road map information around the own vehicle information acquired by the position detector. The operation unit receives a relative moving operation. The relative moving operation allows the symbol representing the own vehicle and the road map information both displayed on the display to move relative to each other in a vehicle width direction. The controller corrects the own vehicle position information in accordance with the relative moving operation received by the operation unit.

A system for determining a drive mode for a vehicle is disclosed. The system may include one or more processors connected to a cloud network. The one or more processors may be configured to detect one or more occupants of the vehicle, and receive, from the cloud network, user profiles including one or more user preferences associated with the detected one or more occupants. The one or more processors may be further configured to determine the drive mode, including a plurality of vehicle feature settings, based on the user preferences weighted according to a weighting rule. The system may also include a storage device configured to store the plurality of vehicle feature settings.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a system and method for activating a vehicle feature through gesture recognition and voice command by an authorized user. Generally, a vehicle control system of the present disclosure obtains gesture commands and voice commands from an authorized user and communicates with a body control module to complete the vehicle feature. More specifically, in certain embodiments, a processor of the vehicle control system is configured to initiate a feature activation mode of a vehicle control system, authenticate an authorized user, receive a gesture command and a voice command, determine a vehicle feature associated with the received gesture command and voice command, and activate the determined feature in response to the recognized gesture command and voice command.

A system and computer-implemented method detect and act upon deactivated vehicle components. The system and method include receiving measurements data associated with driving activity. The measurements data includes an indication that at least one feature of an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) of a vehicle has been deactivated for a driving activity. The system and method may include receiving historical driving data including a history of at least one driving activity aided by activation of the alert from the ADAS feature. The system and method may compare the measurements data to the historical driving data, determine a likelihood level that the feature of the ADAS would have provided the alert had the feature been activated based upon the comparing, and set, based at least upon the determining, at least a portion of an operator profile associated with an operator of the vehicle with the likelihood level.

A selection for a shared vehicle is received. Whether the shared vehicle is in view of a user device camera is determined. At least one of directions to the shared vehicle are provided to the user device. Data of the shared vehicle are identified.

A changing operation assisting apparatus includes a driving assistance control section, an operation section, and an information providing section. The driving assistance control section stores set states regarding driving assistance functions of a vehicle and provides the functions in accordance with the set sates. The set state includes a request state of the function. The operation section is used for changing the set state. The information providing section provides information regarding the set state to a driver of the vehicle. Further, the driving assistance control section executes a setting change confirmation processing upon satisfaction of a specific condition. The setting change confirmation processing is a process of providing confirmation information to confirm whether or not to change the request state of the function, and changing the request state of the function when the driver performs an approving operation in accordance with the confirmation information.

A driver assistance device for a motor vehicle with a drive assembly, which can be connected to a drivetrain via a clutch that can be activated by an actuator. The clutch being a component of an electronically controlled clutch system, in which a clutch pedal sensor detects an actuation of a clutch pedal on the driver's side and in which an analysis unit determines, in a first control mode on the basis of the detected clutch pedal actuation, a clutch torque and actuates the clutch with a corresponding clutch signal. For an adjustment of the clutch response on the driver's side, the analysis unit is associated with an input unit, for the actuation of which, on the driver's side, it is possible to shift between the first control mode and at least one second control mode.

An assembly for changing at least one safety feature predefined setting associated with at least one vehicular active safety system includes a computer and a human-machine interface. The computer is configured to change the at least one safety feature predefined setting based on a driver choice. The at least one safety feature predefined setting is selected from the group consisting of a response type and a response timing. The human-machine interface includes an output and an input. The output is configured to provide a driver with a range of customizable settings for the at least one safety feature predefined setting. The input is configured to accept at least one customizable setting chosen by the driver such that the at least one safety feature predefined setting is changed to the at least one customizable setting.

Methods and systems are provided for a estimating a drive train temperature for a journey. In one example, a method comprises requesting a vehicle operator to input one or more travel parameters for the journey, predicting travel parameters the vehicle operator omitted to input, and displaying an estimated fuel economy for the journey, where the estimated fuel economy is based on the estimated drive train temperature, which is based on the travel parameters.

An autonomous driving system includes at least one electronic control unit configured to set parameter among parameters, in response to an input by an occupant of a vehicle. The parameters are relevant to a traveling when the vehicle travels by an autonomous driving control. The at least one electronic control unit is configured to execute the autonomous driving control in accordance with the parameter. An autonomous driving system includes a canceling operation input unit to which the occupant inputs a canceling operation for the parameter. The at least one electronic control unit is configured to change the parameter to a regular value, when the occupant inputs the canceling operation to the canceling operation input unit after the parameter is set in response to the input by the occupant.
