ADVANCED GATED SHIFTER FOR VEHICLE MANUAL AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION EMULATION
Systems and methods are presented herein for providing haptic feedback by a shifter assembly in an electric vehicle based on a data structure corresponding to a vehicle architecture that is different from the electric vehicle. The shifter assembly is determined by processing circuitry to be in communication with at least one control unit of the electric vehicle. Using the processing circuitry, a shifter haptic feedback data structure is retrieved from a server. A configuration of the shifter assembly, that indicates a number of slots of the shifter assembly, is identified using the processing circuitry. The shifter haptic feedback data structure is compared to the shifter assembly. Based on the comparing, the processing circuitry determines is made that the configuration of the shifter assembly includes a same number of slots as the shifter haptic feedback data structure. Haptic feedback is generated via the shifter assembly.

Haptic feedback systems for vehicle acceleration pedals
A haptic feedback system for a vehicle acceleration pedal includes an acceleration pedal configured to control acceleration of a motor of a vehicle, and a vibration transducer mechanically connected with the acceleration pedal. The vibration transducer is configured to vibrate the acceleration pedal according to a haptic feedback signal supplied to the vibration transducer. The haptic feedback system includes at least one vehicle sensor configured to sense one or more vehicle operation parameters, and a vehicle control module configured to obtain the one or more vehicle operation parameters via the at least one vehicle sensor, and selectively supply the haptic feedback signal to the vibration transducer according to the one or more vehicle operation parameters, to selectively vibrate the acceleration pedal.
