Provided is a control apparatus for a vehicle configured to perform parking assist control, the control apparatus including a first power supply device, a second power supply device, and a power supply circuit, the power supply circuit being configured to, when an abnormality occurs in the first power supply device during the performance of the parking assist control, supply an electric power from the second power supply device to a braking device and a shift switching device, and the braking device and the shift switching device being configured to operate such that a timing at which a current flowing from the second power supply device to the braking device reaches a maximum value and a timing at which a current flowing from the second power supply device to the shift switching device reaches a maximum value do not overlap.

A vehicular driver assistance system includes a front camera module (FCM) disposed at a vehicle. The system, responsive to processing captured image data, generates FCM lane information including information regarding a traffic lane the vehicle is currently traveling along. An e-Horizon module (EHM) generates EHM lane information including information regarding the traffic lane the vehicle is currently traveling along. The vehicular driver assistance system determines an FCM correlation using the FCM lane information and sensor data captured by at least one exterior sensor. The vehicular driver assistance system determines an EHM correlation using the EHM lane information and the sensor data captured by the at least one exterior sensor. Responsive to determining the FCM correlation and the EHM correlation, the system controls lateral movement of the vehicle based on one selected from the group consisting of (i) the FCM lane information and (ii) the EHM lane information.

The present disclosure provides a method and a device for vehicle parking control. The method includes following steps performed according to a predetermined time period until the vehicle stops at an end point: determining (101) a target position and a target speed when the vehicle arrives at the target position based on a current speed of the vehicle and a distance between a current position and the end point, the target position being on a road where the vehicle is located and in front of the vehicle; determining (102) a deceleration motion mode for the vehicle based on the current speed of the vehicle and the target speed; and performing (103) braking control for the vehicle in accordance with a vehicle braking strategy corresponding to the deceleration motion mode. The method can solve the problem in the related art associated with inaccurate vehicle parking control and uncomfortable experience.

The present teaching relates to method, system, medium, and implementations for sensor calibration. An ego vehicle determines whether a sensor deployed on the ego vehicle to facilitate autonomous driving of the ego vehicle needs to be calibrated and sends, if it is determined that the sensor needs to be calibrated, a request for assistance in collaborative calibration of the sensor, with a first position of the ego vehicle or a first configuration of the sensor with respect to the ego vehicle. When a response of the request is received, an assisting vehicle is indicated to travel to be near the ego vehicle to facilitate the calibration of the sensor by collaborating with the moving ego vehicle and the ego vehicle coordinates with the assisting vehicle to enable the sensor to acquire information of a target present on the assisting vehicle for the collaborative calibration of the sensor.

An in-vehicle system includes: a first in-vehicle device installed in a vehicle; a second in-vehicle device controlled in accordance with a signal output from the first in-vehicle device; a first in-vehicle ECU communicably connected to the first in-vehicle device and the second in-vehicle device by signal lines; and a second in-vehicle ECU communicably connected to the first in-vehicle device and the second in-vehicle device by the signal lines. The first in-vehicle ECU and the second in-vehicle ECU are connected by a communication line of a type different from a type of the signal lines, and a communication path from the first in-vehicle device to the second in-vehicle device includes a first path relayed by the first in-vehicle ECU and a second path relayed by the second in-vehicle ECU.

Disclosed are a system and a method for managing and performing a test using a data set. More particularly, the test management system enables data to be easily managed by generating and managing data sets for each execution mode and for each test environment.

Among other things, we describe techniques for implementing a vehicle response to sensor failure. In general, one innovative aspect of the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods that include receiving information from a plurality of sensors coupled to a vehicle, determining that a level of confidence of the received information from at least one sensor of a first subset of sensors of the plurality of sensors is less than a first threshold, comparing a number of sensors in the first subset of sensors to a second threshold, and adjusting the driving capability of the vehicle to rely on information received from a second subset of sensors of the plurality of sensors, wherein the second subset of sensors excludes the at least one sensor of the first subset of sensors.
