A parking control apparatus includes: a processor configured to generate an outline based on previously parked vehicles, to generate a target reference based on the outline, to select a parking spot for double-parking based on the target reference, and to perform double-parking control on the parking spot when there are no vacant parking spaces by searching for at least a parking space in a parking lot; and a storage configured to store data and algorithms driven by the processor.

A vehicle traveling control device is capable of implementing an automatic driving mode that can cause an own vehicle to travel following a preceding vehicle within a predetermined speed range. The vehicle traveling control device includes an acquiring unit that acquires traffic congestion information relating to a traffic congestion nearby the own vehicle, and a control unit that suppresses acceleration of the own vehicle in a first case in which presence of a traffic congestion is detected based on the traffic congestion information, and the own vehicle can be accelerated, during implementation of the automatic driving mode.

A system for determining a content of a message used to coordinate interactions among vehicles can include a processing device and a memory. The memory can store a discretization module and a communications module. The discretization module can include instructions that when executed by the processing device cause the processing device to: (1) analyze a critical maneuver trajectory of an ego vehicle and a current trajectory of another vehicle to determine an existence of a critical maneuver situation and (2) produce a discretized representation of a portion of the critical maneuver trajectory of the ego vehicle. A form of the discretized representation can be based on the existence of the critical maneuver situation. The communications module can include instructions that when executed by the processing device cause the processing device to communicate the discretized representation as the content of the message used to coordinate interactions among vehicles.

A computer includes a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to identify a first scenario in which a vehicle is operating from a plurality of scenarios, prompt an operator to activate an adaptive cruise control of the vehicle in response to a preference score for the first scenario being above a threshold, refrain from prompting the operator to activate the adaptive cruise control in response to the preference score for the first scenario being below the threshold, and activate the adaptive cruise control in response to receiving an input to activate the adaptive cruise control from the operator. The scenarios indicate at least one characteristic of a road on which the vehicle is traveling. The preference score indicates a preference of the operator for activating the adaptive cruise control in the first scenario.

A system comprises a computer having a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to determine, as a vehicle travels along a roadway while an adaptive cruise control feature of the vehicle is active, that the roadway is a non-controlled-access roadway, detect a presence of traffic congestion impeding travel of the vehicle along the non-controlled-access roadway, responsive to detecting the presence of the traffic congestion, generate a prompt for driver input indicating whether the adaptive cruise control feature is to enter an extended auto-resume (XAR) mode, and cause the adaptive cruise control feature to enter the XAR mode based on driver input indicating that the adaptive cruise control feature is to enter the XAR mode.

Technologies and techniques for delivering an order to an at least semiautonomous motor vehicle, and a motor vehicle. If an ordering function is activated, provider information is obtained from potential providers that offer delivery of an order by means of a mobile delivery system within a predefined area on a determined route from a current position of the motor vehicle to a destination. Coordinates and a time for a meeting of the motor vehicle with the mobile delivery system are determined for each of the potential providers that have been determined using traffic condition and planning criteria, and a corresponding ordering option that can be activated is provided. As soon as the ordering option is activated, the motor vehicle is at least semiautonomously driven to the determined meeting.

An apparatus for assisting driving of a vehicle includes: a radar mounted on the vehicle to have a front field of view of the vehicle and configured to acquire detection data; and a controller including a processor, configured to process the detection data, and configured to identify an estimated collision time between the vehicle and a first preceding vehicle, located in front of the vehicle, based on processing of the detection data, and to control a braking system of the vehicle to brake the vehicle, in response to the estimated collision time being less than a reference time, wherein the controller is configured to increase a reference time for braking the vehicle, based on an acceleration and a travelling speed of the first preceding vehicle and an acceleration and a travelling speed of a second preceding vehicle, located in front of the first preceding vehicle.

A vehicle running control method includes: when a junction section lane is present adjacent to a traveling lane of a host vehicle, collecting, by a processor, vehicle information of at least one vehicle traveling in the junction section lane; determining, by the processor, the possibility of cut-in of junction section lane vehicles based on the collected vehicle information and whether the traveling lane is congested; and controlling, by the processor, at least one of the traveling path or the traveling velocity of the host vehicle based on the result of determination in order to display an intention to yield.

An occupancy grid manager having a non-uniform occupancy which includes a plurality of cells, configurable in a plurality of cell sizes, each cell representing a region of an environment of a vehicle; and one or more processors, configured to determine one or more context factors; select a cell size for a cell of the plurality of cells based on the one or more context factors; process sensor data provided by one or more sensors; and determine a probability that the cell of the plurality of cells is occupied based on the sensor data.

An apparatus for controlling a vehicle includes a memory, a network interface, and a processor that determines whether the vehicle is in a bypass situation in which the vehicle has to bypass, calculates a plurality of bypass paths capable of replacing a previously set travel path in the bypass situation, evaluates the plurality of bypass paths, selects one bypass path based on the evaluation of the plurality of bypass paths, and performs control on the vehicle such that the vehicle travels along the selected bypass path.
