Methods and systems for notifying a driver of a first vehicle of obstacles discouraging passing of a second vehicle in front of the first vehicle. The system includes a sensor of the second vehicle configured to detect spatial data in proximity of the second vehicle. The system also includes an electronic control unit (ECU) of the first vehicle. The ECU is configured to receive the spatial data from a transceiver of the second vehicle. The ECU is also configured to determine obstacle data based on the spatial data, the obstacle data identifying a presence of obstacles ahead of the second vehicle discouraging passing of the second vehicle by the first vehicle. The ECU is also configured to provide a notification to the driver of the first vehicle when the obstacle data indicates the presence of obstacles ahead of the second vehicle.

This invention provides a method for adaptively processing car information. The method includes: receiving a first car information, identifying system function(s) thereof, and analyzing all system malfunctions thereof; receiving a second car information; determining a relation between the system malfunctions and the second car information at a relative predetermined safe threshold; setting a severity level, an exposure level, and a controllability level for a hazard event based on a predetermined standard when the safe threshold is gone beyond; and classifying the first car information to a safe level according to the severity level, the exposure level, and the controllability level.

A method includes automatically determining a first user input with a first predefined manipulation force acting on the input device and, in response thereto, performing a first function according to the first manipulation force. The method also includes automatically determining a second user input with a second predefined manipulation force acting on the input device, which second manipulation force is higher than the first manipulation force, and, in response thereto, selecting a first display element from a plurality of display elements displayed on a display unit, by switching an input focus to the first display element.

A vehicle is electrically connected to one or more accessories. The vehicle includes at least one controller that may be configured to identify the accessory based on accessory identification information. The controller may also be configured to provide one or more commands to control an operation of the accessory.

A vehicle horn sound output device is disclosed. A vehicle horn sound output device according to the present invention comprises: an operation switch for outputting a horn sound; a storage unit for storing sound types to be output as horn sounds; a touch input unit for displaying a horn setting screen such that, by touching the horn setting screen, at least one from among the sound type, the volume, and the sound quality is set; and a control unit for executing an application so as to output a horn setting screen to the touch input unit, retrieving a sound type stored in the storage unit according to a setting value input from the touch input unit, setting the volume and the sound quality, and outputting a horn sound through a horn speaker if the operation switch is operated.

Provided is a tactile presentation device that makes it possible to minimize discomfort by presenting a suitable tactile sensation. The tactile presentation device 1 is configured to be equipped with: an operation part having an operation member operated by a user; a tactile presentation part 3 for presenting a tactile sensation to the user via the operation member; an awareness determination unit 4 that determines whether the user is aware of at least one of the operation member and a display screen for displaying an operation target operated by the operation member; and a control unit 6 that controls the tactile presentation part 3 so as to adjust the intensity of the tactile sensation presented to the user in accordance with the determination result of the awareness determination unit 4.

A vehicle control system may include a controller that obtains route information based on a driving route and a location of a vehicle, searches for an uneven road surface on the driving route based on the route information, calculates an impulse based on vehicle information and shape information about the found uneven road surface when the uneven road surface is found, and sets a target speed based on the calculated impulse and user data.

A method of indicating to an operator of a work vehicle a relative location of an object, an object indication system, and a work vehicle are provided. The method includes sensing the object with one or more sensors positioned at one or more sensor positions on the work vehicle and activating one or more indicators positioned at one or more indicator positions relative to the operator based on the sensing of the object with the one or more sensors. Each sensor position directionally corresponds to one or more of the indicator positions.

A system and method for remote execution of applications for a connected vehicle infotainment system (CVIS). The method comprises establishing a network connection between the CVIS and a cloud server hosted in a cloud computing platform, sending a remote execution request for at least one application, wherein the at least one application is executed by the cloud server, receiving execution results from the at least one application cloud server, and rendering the execution results on the CVIS while allowing interoperability with applications executed over at least one other computing environment included in the vehicle.

A remote control an automotive vehicle, the remote control including a 3-D shaped object, stretch sensors connecting the 3-D shaped object to a structure of the vehicle and a control unit configured to collect information from the stretch sensors, the remote control being configured to control a display of the automotive vehicle, the remote control being configured to be integrated in a stretchable fabric part of an interior of the vehicle.
