The invention relates to a device (20) for assisting a driver of a vehicle to perform physical exercises, comprising:—means (21) for acquiring data representative of a driving context,—means (22) for determining a level of risk, from the acquired data,—means (23) for selecting at least one physical exercise compatible with the level of risk,—means (24) for transmitting a signal indicating to the driver the at least one selected exercise; characterised in that it further comprises—means (21′) for acquiring data representative of a history of exercises performed by said driver, said data coming from a remote storage,—and in that the means (23) for selecting at least one physical exercise also use said data representative of a history in order to select said at least one exercise.
Motor vehicle self-driving method and terminal device
Embodiments of this application describe a motor vehicle self-driving method and a terminal device. The method may include obtaining, by a terminal device, vehicle external-environment data of a position of a motor vehicle and initial positioning precision of the motor vehicle. The method may also include determining, by the terminal device, a target driving parameter of the motor vehicle based on the vehicle external-environment data and the initial positioning precision. Furthermore, the method may include controlling, by the terminal device, the motor vehicle to drive based on the target driving parameter. In the embodiments of this application, the terminal device determines the target driving parameter of the motor vehicle based on the vehicle external-environment data and the initial positioning precision. In this way, the target driving parameter varies with the vehicle external-environment data, and further matches an external environment, thereby improving self-driving safety of the motor vehicle.
Method and system for risk based driving mode switching in hybrid driving
The present teaching relates to method, system, and medium, for operating a vehicle. The method includes the steps of receiving Real-time data related to the vehicle are received. A current mode of operation of the vehicle is determined. A first risk associated with the current mode of operation of the vehicle is evaluated based on the real-time data in accordance with a risk model. If the first risk satisfies a first criterion, a second risk associated with switching the current mode to a different mode of operation of the vehicle is determined. The vehicle is switched from the current mode to the different mode if the second risk satisfies a second criterion.
Enhanced navigation and ride hailing
A system for navigation and ride hailing that provides options for navigating traffic through express lanes or the like. Information, such as express lane profile information, toll price information for the express lane during a period, and traffic information along one or more paths may be used to determine the fastest options along to a destination at different toll price points.
Communication apparatus, communication system, vehicle, non-transitory computer-readable medium, and communication method
A communication apparatus is mounted on a first vehicle. The communication apparatus comprises: a communication interface configured to perform wireless communication with a communication apparatus mounted on a vehicle other than the first vehicle; and a controller configured to: determine, when event information is received by the communication interface, the event information indicating occurrence of an event and having been transferred from a communication apparatus mounted on a second vehicle different from the first vehicle, a status of a third vehicle different from the first vehicle and the second vehicle, and decide, based on result of the determination, whether to cause the communication interface to perform transfer of the event information to a communication apparatus mounted on the third vehicle.
