The vehicle control system includes a plurality of sensors configured to measure a wheel speed, a steering angle, a yaw rate, and acceleration value, and a controller estimating the state of a vehicle based on the wheel speed, the steering angle, the yaw rate, and the acceleration value and updating a front and rear wheel stiffness of the vehicle when it is determined that the vehicle is running on an asymmetric friction surface from the estimated state of the vehicle.

An exemplary method of controlling an automotive vehicle includes providing a damper coupled to the vehicle, the damper being provided with magnetorheological fluid and including a magnetic field generator, providing a vehicle sensor configured to measure a vehicle characteristic, providing at least one controller in communication with the actuator, the magnetic field generator, and the vehicle sensor, and in response to a vehicle operating condition being satisfied, determining a vehicle balance and a downforce generation capacity and automatically controlling the magnetic field generator, via the at least one controller, to adjust viscosity of the magnetorheological fluid.

A method, apparatus, and computer program product are therefore provided for emulating vehicle features of a first vehicle in a second vehicle having different features. Methods may include: receiving an indication of a user operating an unfamiliar vehicle; determining vehicle features familiar to the user; and providing emulation of one or more features of the vehicle features familiar to the user in the unfamiliar vehicle. According to some embodiments, the vehicle features familiar to the user are determined based on one or more vehicles familiar to the user. According to certain embodiments, vehicle features familiar to the user include one or more of vehicle size, vehicle performance, or vehicle autonomy level.

A vehicle includes a vehicle subsystem, a user interface, and a controller. The user interface is configured to display a plurality of selectable vehicle models. The controller is programmed to, in response to a selection of a particular vehicle model, adjust a parameter of the subsystem to emulate a corresponding subsystem parameter of the particular vehicle model.

Disclosed herein are a vehicle configured to prevent a collision and a control method thereof. The vehicle includes a chassis; a steering unit configured to change a direction of the chassis; a brake unit configured to adjust a braking force of the chassis; a detector configured to detect movement information of the chassis; and a controller configured to confirm a variation rate of movement of the chassis based on the detected movement information and configured to automatically control an operation of the steering unit and the brake unit when the confirmed variation rate is out of a reference range. When a collision occurs, the vehicle may automatically perform at least one of steering control, side braking control, or a damping control, and thus a secondary collision may be prevented, the incidence of additional injury may be reduced, the speed of the vehicle may be stably reduced or stopped, and the vehicle may be moved to a safe lane so that a stabilization time of the vehicle may be reduced.

The disclosure includes implementations for modifying an operation of an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS system) of a vehicle based on one or more preferences of a user for the operation of the ADAS system. Some implementations of a method may include receiving a wireless message from a wireless network. The wireless message may include optimization settings data describing how to modify an operation of the ADAS system of the vehicle based on one or more preferences of a user for the operation of the ADAS system. The user may include a human who has reserved the vehicle for their use. The method may include modifying one or more control parameters of the ADAS system based on the optimization settings data so that the operation of the ADAS system conforms with the one or more preferences of the user for the operation of the ADAS system.

A bicycle electric system comprises a first electric component, a second electric component, and a second controller. The first electric component includes a first controller and a sensor. The first controller is configured to control an operating status of the first electric component based on an output of the sensor. The second electric component is different from the first electric component. At least one of the first electric component and the second electric component includes an electric suspension. The second controller is configured to control an operating status of the second electric component based on the output of the sensor of the first electric component.

A bidirectional vehicle may be capable of traveling in either of two directions and may change its direction of travel at any point for various reasons. In response to a change in the direction of travel, systems of a bidirectional vehicle may adjust one or more suspension components using various techniques to configure the vehicle with a higher ride frequency at the trailing axle than at the leading axle to enhance the ride quality and handling capabilities of the vehicle.
