A driver assistance system for motor vehicles, including at least one sensor for detecting object properties of objects which are located in the surroundings of the motor vehicle; a first interface; an output unit for transmitting the object properties to a user; and a control unit. The sensor transmits the object properties in a form of a first signal to the first interface. The first interface transmits the object properties, received in the form of the first signal, to the control unit in the form of a second signal, the control unit being configured to forward the object properties, received in the form of a second signal, to the output unit and to control the output of the object properties by the output unit.

A method of processing data for a driving automation system, the method comprising steps of: obtaining sound data from a microphone of an autonomous vehicle; processing the sound data to obtain a sound characteristic; and updating a context of the autonomous vehicle based on the sound characteristic.

Provided are a mobile terminal having a display, and particularly, to a mobile terminal capable of transmitting and receiving data to and from a vehicle and a system including the same. The mobile terminal includes a communication unit communicating with a vehicle having a vehicle display, and a controller receiving driving information from the vehicle using the communication unit, wherein the controller executes a certain function in response to occurrence of an event, selects any one execution screen, among a plurality of execution screens corresponding to the executed function, on the basis of the driving information, and transmits the any one execution screen to the vehicle through the communication unit so that the any one execution screen is output on the vehicle display.

A vehicle electronic control system includes a center device and a master device and a data relay device capable of performing data communication therebetween. The center device obtains campaign information of the program update, transmits the obtained campaign information to the data relay device, and transmits the update data to the data relay device. When receiving the campaign information from the center device, the data relay device changes setting of the received campaign information and delivers the information to the master device, and, when receiving the update data from the center device, the data relay device delivers the received update data to the master device. When receiving the campaign information from the data relay device, the master device instructs a target electronic control device to update the program with the update data received from the data relay device according to the received campaign information.

Techniques for automatic control of a vehicle are disclosed. The vehicle may include a removable input device having various modes of operation. For example, a coupled mode of operation may control the vehicle when an operator is in an operator area of the vehicle, while a remote mode of operation may enable vehicle control when the operator is outside of the operator area. The vehicle may include object sensors to detect a target such as the removable input device or an operator device. Accordingly, the vehicle may automatically follow the target. The vehicle may also identify obstacles, in response to which manual control of the vehicle may at least temporarily be provided to the operator, after which automatic control may resume.

The present disclosure relates to establishing bidirectional communication between a brain wave processing device and a vehicle to control at least one vehicle component of the vehicle. For this purpose, a brain-computer communication channel is provided between the brain wave processing device and the respective vehicle component. Subsequently, a control signal is determined as a function of a brain wave of the operator of the brain wave processing device and transmitted via the brain-computer communication channel to adapt at least one operating parameter of the respective vehicle component. This causes a change in the operating state of the respective vehicle component. Depending on this, an output signal is generated and is assigned to the change in the operating state of the vehicle component. This output signal is transmitted back to the brain wave processing device via the brain-computer communication channel and is output to the operator by means of an output unit of the brain wave processing device.

A modular control device for a vehicle comprises: a base frame mounted on the vehicle; and an upgrade frame detachably mounted on the base frame. A first printed circuit board (PCB), on which a base block for providing an interface with devices in the vehicle is implemented, is mounted on the base frame. A second PCB having a memory and a main processor is mounted on the upgrade frame.

According to an aspect of the present disclosure, an interaction system for a first vehicle is provided, which comprises a processor and a memory storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the latter to implement steps comprising: receiving a first input from the first vehicle and displaying a first avatar on a display; and receiving a second input from a second vehicle and displaying a second avatar on the display, wherein the first input and the second input are updated in real time, and the first avatar and the second avatar dynamically change accordingly.

The disclosure relates generally to an in-vehicle feedback system, and more particularly, to an in-vehicle device with a display or graphical interface that collects driving data and provides feedback based on the driving data. The system may comprise an in-vehicle device that includes a graphical user interface and a processor and a data collection device wirelessly connected to the in-vehicle device. The in-vehicle device may be configured to receive vehicle telematics data from the data collection device and the processor may process the telematics data in real time and cause the telematics data to be displayed on the graphical user interface. The graphical user interface may include a speed display and an acceleration display.

A vehicle includes a system for recording and analyzing user preferences during a vehicle test drive. The system includes a processor and a memory that stores processor-readable instructions. When executed by the processor, the processor-readable instructions cause the system to: determine a user identity; create a user preference profile based on the user identity; communicate a prerecorded message describing one or more vehicle options to the user; record a user response of the user in response to the prerecorded message; analyze the recorded user response; and update the user preference profile based on the analysis of the recorded user response.
