According to various embodiments, a method for operating a vehicle may include determining a vehicular area having traffic conditions or characteristics different from traffic conditions of a current or previous location of the vehicle; obtaining traffic and driving information for the determined vehicular region; changing or updating one or more of driving model parameters of a safety driving model during operation of the vehicle based on the obtained traffic and driving information; and controlling the vehicle to operate in accordance with the safety driving model using the one or more changed or updated driving model parameters. A vehicle may seamlessly update operational rules and/or handover of traffic and driving information for transitioning from one region to another.

The disclosure includes embodiments for managing vehicles under anomalous driving behavior. In some embodiments, a method includes determining, by the processor, an ego behavior associated with the ego vehicle and a remote behavior associated with a remote vehicle. The method includes calculating a variance between the ego behavior and the remote behavior. The method includes determining a presence of an anomaly based on the variance satisfying a threshold, wherein the satisfying the threshold indicates the ego behavior is incompatible with the remote behavior. The method includes generating a driving management plan which is configured to mitigate the anomaly and is consistent with the ego behavior. The method includes implementing the driving management plan so that the threshold is no longer satisfied.

An embodiment relates to a system of a vehicle comprising a first vehicle ecosystem module comprising a first communication system and a first vehicle ecosystem unit comprising a local environment matrix, and a global governance module that is internal or external to the system, wherein the global governance module comprises a learning agent and a second communication system comprising a protocol unit, wherein the learning agent is configured to learn continuously and update rules for an outcome of the first vehicle ecosystem module when power in the vehicle is turned on, wherein the system is configured for autonomous communication between the first vehicle ecosystem unit and a second vehicle ecosystem unit, wherein the second vehicle ecosystem unit is either internal or external to the system.

Systems and methods for determining the effectiveness of vehicle safety features are provided. Vehicle build information (VBI) for vehicles manufactured by a plurality of OEMs may be obtained. The VBI may contain OEM-specific terminology for smart safety features associated with each vehicle. The obtained VBI may be analyzed to generate an ontology model mapping each feature to any OEM-specific terminology associated with the feature. The ontology model may be applied to the VBI to generate translated VBI for each vehicle, such that the OEM-specific terminology associated with each feature is replaced with OEM-agnostic terminology for the feature. Vehicle accident record information may be obtained for each vehicle, including, e.g., the number, frequency, severity, etc. of accidents associated with each vehicle. Using the OEM-agnostic terminology for each feature associated with each vehicle and the vehicle accident information for each vehicle, an effectiveness score associated with each feature may be calculated.

An information processing apparatus for guarding at least one vehicle includes a controller. The controller is configured to acquire vehicle information including class information for a class to be held in the at least one vehicle and travel information for the at least one vehicle, determine hazard information attributable to holding of the class based on the acquired vehicle information, and determine security information for guarding the at least one vehicle based on the determined hazard information.

A vehicle includes a communicator that is mounted on the vehicle to perform wireless communication with a server and a controller operates the communicator to transmit an accident reception request signal and image data acquired by another vehicle to the server when the vehicle has an accident with an accident target vehicle. The controller operates the communicator to receive a fault ratio from the server when the server generates fault ratio data between the vehicle and the accident target vehicle based on the image data.

An example operation includes one or more of determining a first output impedance of a first electronic control unit, determining a second output impedance of a second electronic control unit in response to the first output impedance is outside of a range of a first threshold of the first electronic control unit, and notifying in response to a difference between the second output impedance and a second threshold of the second electronic control unit is less than a further difference between the first output impedance and the first threshold.

There is provided a method for avoiding the collision of an autonomous vehicle, the method including: setting collision detection areas including first and second collision detection areas based on a state of a first vehicle and a collision detection target at a location adjacent to the first vehicle; and determining the possibility of a collision between the first vehicle and the collision detection target using the collision detection areas of the first vehicle and the collision detection target; wherein setting the collision detection areas includes maintaining an attribute of the first collision detection area and changing an attribute of the second collision detection area in response to a change in the state of the first vehicle and the collision detection target.

In an in-vehicle information processing apparatus according to the present embodiment, a server processing unit receives a search message for searching for a requested service, from a client processing unit configured to request that a service be provided, the search message includes identification information and version information of the requested service, the server processing unit determines whether or not the version information included in the received search message matches version information of a service that the server processing unit provides, and, if it is determined that the two types of version information do not match, the server processing unit examines whether or not it is possible to provide the service with different version information to the client processing unit, and, if it is possible to provide the service with different version information, the server processing unit provides the service to the client processing unit.
