While a host vehicle is within an area, a target vehicle is identified based on detecting the target vehicle within the area. Upon determining a component output, first instructions specifying the component output and a target vehicle component are provided to the target vehicle. A host clock for the host vehicle is synchronized with a clock maintained by a remote server computer. Then second instructions specifying to initiate, at a target time, actuation of the target vehicle component to provide the component output are provided to the target vehicle. Then a host vehicle component is actuated at a host time to provide the component output.

A system for assisting in aligning a vehicle for hitching with a trailer includes a vehicle steering system, a wireless communication module, a detection system outputting a signal including scene data of an area to a rear of the vehicle, and a controller. The controller receives, via the wireless communication module, an automated hitching initiation command from an external wireless device, receives the scene data and identifying the trailer within the area to the rear of the vehicle, derives a backing path to align a hitch ball mounted on the vehicle to a coupler of the trailer, and controls the vehicle steering system to maneuver the vehicle including reversing along the backing path.

A bypass energy storage device for an electronically controlled hydraulic braking system includes a brake master cylinder, a first pipeline, and a second pipeline. The first pipeline is connected with a first branch. One end of the first branch is communicated to an energy accumulator, and the first branch is connected with a first inlet valve. The second pipeline is connected with a second branch. One end of the second branch is communicated to the energy accumulator, and the second branch is connected with a second inlet valve. The energy accumulator is communicated with a third branch, and one end of the third branch is communicated to a second pipeline. The effects of reducing energy consumption, better controlling foot feeling and thus improving the comfort and safety of products are achieved.

A driver assistance system for the automated longitudinal guidance of a motor vehicle detects a desired turning maneuver of the driver of the motor vehicle when the vehicle is in motion with automated longitudinal guidance, and reduces the speed of the motor vehicle in accordance with the detected turning maneuver.

An apparatus for controlling to enable an autonomous system in a vehicle is provided. The apparatus includes a sensor, an input device configured to receive an input from a driver of the vehicle, an output device configured to output a notification in the vehicle, and a control circuit configured to be electrically connected with the sensor, the input device, and the output device. The control circuit is configured to activate an autonomous control in response to an input of the driver to the input device, detect a critical situation of the vehicle using the sensor, output a notification to transfer a control authority using the output device in response to the detected critical situation, and automatically reactivate the autonomous control when the critical situation is solved after temporarily releasing the autonomous control, when the critical situation corresponds to a critical situation of a specified type.
