An authentication system for a voice controlled autonomous driving system of a vehicle includes a plurality of perception sensors for collecting perception data indicative of an environment surrounding the vehicle and one or more controllers in electronic communication with one or more autonomous driving controllers of the voice controlled autonomous driving system and the plurality of perception sensors. The voice controlled autonomous driving system determines the trajectory of the vehicle based on a voice command generated by an occupant of the vehicle. The one or more controllers execute instructions to calculate a credibility score of the occupant that quantifies a reliability of one or more voice-based commands generated by the occupant. In response to determining an overall credibility score of the occupant is less than the threshold access score, the one or more controllers adjust an access level of the voice controlled autonomous driving system for the occupant.

A service providing device includes a processor, a memory, and a communication device, wherein the processor executes a program stored in the memory to perform: starting a trip by controlling an autonomous vehicle; calculating an expected completion time of the trip according to a predetermined update period; and determining whether the trip is completed within a target time according to the expected completion time of the trip is provided.

The invention relates to a method for operating a motor vehicle that, due to an error in a main brake system of the motor vehicle, is switched by means of a control circuit from a normal mode to an error mode in which a performance of a drive unit of the motor vehicle is reduced, and at least one navigation function of the motor vehicle is activated. The invention provides that an additional function of the motor vehicle is activated in error mode by means of the control circuit. Moreover, the invention relates to a safety system that is designed to perform the above method, as well as to a motor vehicle equipped with such a safety system.

A health risk assessment system for estimating a health risk posed by transporting a user in a vehicle. The system includes one or more processors and a memory communicably coupled to the one or more processors and storing a health risk assessment module. The health risk assessment module includes computer-readable instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to attempt to acquire information regarding a travel history of the user. The module is also configured to, using acquired travel history information, determine a value of a first health status parameter and to compare the value of the first health status parameter to a first threshold. Responsive to the value of the first health status parameter exceeding the threshold, the module controls operation of the vehicle to implement at least one infection prevention measure.

Aspects of the disclosed technology encompass solutions for automatically managing autonomous vehicle (AV) operating and maintenance tasks, such as implementing an alternative operating mode or ordering replacement parts for an AV components. In some aspects, a process of the disclosed technology can include steps for receiving diagnostic data corresponding with an AV component, determining an estimated life cycle of the AV component, and determining whether to generate an action to implement an alternative operating mode or an order request for one or more replacement parts of the AV component, based on the estimated life cycle of the AV component. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

A computer-implemented method for displaying an augmented reality (AR) object is disclosed. The computer-implemented method includes identifying a physical object of interest in a user's AR field of view (FOV), determining an amount of time required for the physical object of interest to be displayed within the user's AR FOV, based on the user's relative position and movement with respect to the physical object of interest, determining the physical object of interest is no longer in the user's physical FOV prior to an expiration of the determined amount of time required for the physical object to be displayed within the user's AR FOV, and displaying a digital object corresponding to the physical object of interest in the users AR FOV until the determined amount of time required for the physical object to be displayed within the user's AR FOV has expired.
