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 speed of a target vehicle in a target lane of operation is determined relative to a host vehicle in a host lane of operation. A virtual boundary is determined around the target vehicle based on the speed of the target vehicle. A position in the target lane and outside the virtual boundary is selected based on a) a first cost function for a deviation of a speed of the host vehicle from a requested speed, and b) a second cost function for a frequency of lane changes. Upon determining to move the host vehicle from the host lane to the target lane, the host vehicle is operated to the position in the target lane.

A vehicle control device includes an electronic control unit configured to: enlarge the detection range, when the electronic control unit determines that a current deceleration support control is control for passing the object; set a new target deceleration of the host vehicle when a new object with a possibility of collision with the host vehicle has been detected in the enlarged detection range; determine whether an interval from an ending time of the current deceleration support control to a starting time of the next deceleration support control is less than a threshold value, when the electronic control unit determines that the next deceleration support control is control for passing the new object; and perform one of the inter-vehicle distance control and acceleration support control from the ending time to the starting time, when the electronic control unit determines that the interval is less than the threshold value.

A vehicle includes an engine, an accelerator pedal, and a controller. The controller is programmed to command torque to the engine based on a set speed of adaptive cruise control and is programmed to, in response to the adaptive cruise control being active, a measured lateral acceleration of the vehicle exceeding a user-defined lateral acceleration threshold during a road curve, and the accelerator pedal being released, reduce a speed of the vehicle below the set speed until the measured lateral acceleration is less than the lateral acceleration threshold.

A method for determining the payload mass resting on a wheel of a vehicle. In the method: using a level sensor system, in a time period in which the vehicle is moved, a time series of measured values is detected, which each indicate the vertical position of the vehicle body in relation to the wheel; a model is provided for the temporal development of the vertical position under the influence of the gravitational force of vehicle body and payload, an elastic suspension between the vehicle body and the wheel of the vehicle, and a damping of the vertical relative movement between the vehicle body and the wheel of the vehicle, the model being parameterized at least using the sought payload mass and the wheel of the vehicle and the connection of the wheel to the roadway being assumed to be rigid.

A VP includes an EPB system configured to switch between activation and release of brakehold and a VCIB that interfaces between an ADS and a VP. The VCIB is configured to provide a standstill status signal to the ADS. The standstill status signal includes a value applied indicating activation of brakehold and a value released indicating release of brakehold. The ADS includes a compute assembly. When the compute assembly requests the VP to activate brakehold, it requests the VP to decelerate until the standstill status signal switches from the value released to the value applied.

A vehicle control apparatus including a camera, a detector acquiring position information of a target based on reflected wave and a microprocessor. The microprocessor is configured to perform estimating a position of the target, based on position information acquired by the camera and the detector, controlling an actuator based on the estimated position, and detecting a predetermined gradient state in which a gradient of a road surface in front of a subject vehicle is an upward gradient of a predetermined degree or more with respect to a road surface at a current position of the subject vehicle and is configured to perform the estimating including estimating the position of the target by lowering a reliability of position information acquired by the camera among position information of the target captured on the road surface in the predetermined gradient state when the predetermined gradient state is detected.

A vehicle control apparatus includes a generator, a brake system, first and second sensors, first and second deceleration rate setting units, and a power generation torque controller. The first deceleration rate setting unit sets, when a first control mode that decelerates a vehicle on the basis of a brake operation performed by an occupant is executed, an allowable deceleration rate upon deceleration of the vehicle on the basis of a brake operation amount. The second deceleration rate setting unit sets, when a second control mode that decelerates the vehicle on the basis of a situation ahead of the vehicle is executed, the allowable deceleration rate upon deceleration of the vehicle on the basis of a brake fluid pressure. The power generation torque controller controls power generation torque of the generator on the basis of the allowable deceleration rate that is set by the first or second deceleration rate setting unit.

Disclosed are a method and apparatus for controlling a vehicle speed for autonomous driving, an electronic device and a computer-readable storage medium. The method includes: obtaining a basic vehicle speed control instruction output by a central controller of a target vehicle in real time; generating an ideal speed parameter matching the basic vehicle speed control instruction according to a preset processing delay; generating an additional vehicle speed control instruction to perform vehicle speed control on the target vehicle according to a difference between the ideal speed parameter and a real-time speed parameter of the target vehicle; and returning to perform the operation of generating the ideal speed parameter matching the basic vehicle speed control instruction according to the preset processing delay until the real-time speed parameter of the target vehicle tends to be consistent with the ideal speed parameter.

A method for collecting and mapping eye movement data to vehicle data includes providing a vehicle having a plurality of sensors configured to capture vehicle characteristic data, an eye-movement tracking system configured to capture eye movement data, a wireless communication system, and a controller in communication with the plurality of sensors, the eye movement tracking system, and the wireless communication system, receiving the eye movement data and the vehicle characteristic data, analyzing the eye movement data and the vehicle characteristic data to temporally correlate the eye movement data and the vehicle characteristic data and generate a matched dataset, determining a predicted vehicle maneuver from the matched dataset, and transmitting the predicted vehicle maneuver to a nearby vehicle using V2X communication.
