An embodiment personal mobility includes a display, a first sensor unit configured to obtain battery state information of the personal mobility, a second sensor unit configured to obtain speed information of the personal mobility, a third sensor unit configured to obtain steering information of the personal mobility, a communicator configured to obtain navigation information, and a controller configured to display a plurality of contents including the navigation information, usage time information of the personal mobility, the battery state information, or the speed information on the display as a basic screen in a plurality of regions in response to an ignition of the personal mobility being turned on and to control to change a screen displayed on the display based on the steering information or the navigation information.

A method for predicting a range of a vehicle having an at least partially electric drive. When a first operating mode of the vehicle is ended at a time, the vehicle switches into a second operating mode when the first operating mode ends. The range of the vehicle is determined when the first operating mode ends. Starting at the time at which the first operating mode ends, the temporal development of a parameter from the surroundings of the vehicle is determined for a certain duration, wherein the vehicle is in the second operating mode for at least a portion of the certain duration. Also disclosed is a device for predicting a range of a vehicle having an at least partially electric drive.

A work vehicle with a travel control device that allows stationary work without disabling a theft-prevention state of the vehicle is provided. The work vehicle includes an engine, a power transmission device having a clutch for transmitting rotational power of the engine to drive wheels, a travel control device for controlling the clutch in the power transmission device and having a start restriction mode for restricting engagement of the clutch when electrical power is turned on, a mobile terminal configured to transmit signals for enabling and disabling the start restriction mode, and a control unit configured to transmit and receive signals to and from the mobile terminal.

The present disclosure describes a vehicle implementing one or more processing modules. These modules are configured to connect and interface with the various buses in the vehicle, where the various buses are connected with the various components of the vehicle to facilitate information transfer among the vehicle components. Each processing module is further modularized with the ability to add and replace other functional modules now or in the future. These functional modules can themselves act as distinct vehicle components. Each processing modules may hand-off processing to other modules depending on its health, processing load, or by third-party control. Thus, the plurality of processing modules helps to implement a middleware point of control to the vehicle with redundancy in processing and safety and security awareness in their applications.

A transportation vehicle system, for providing feedback to a user-worn wearable device, including a hardware-based processing unit and a hardware-based computer-readable storage device. The device includes a vehicle-function identification module that, when executed by the processing unit determines that a trigger condition has occurred. The vehicle-function identification module also determines, for responding to the trigger condition, a wearable-communication function including transmitting a vehicle signal to the wearable device. An activation module causes the processing unit to initiate transmitting the vehicle signal to the wearable device. The technology also in various embodiments includes the vehicle storage device, the wearable device, a storage unit of the wearable device, and processes including any of the operations disclosed herein.

The invention relates to a method for operating a communication device (2) for a motor vehicle (1), in which operating data of at least one operating component (4) of the motor vehicle (1) is provided by means of an interface device (3) of the motor vehicle (1) and transmitted to a mobile apparatus (8) disposed in an interior (10) of the motor vehicle (1), and the operating data is displayed on a display device (11) of the mobile apparatus (8), wherein it is examined by means of the interface device (3) if the motor vehicle (1) is operated in an autonomous drive mode, and if the motor vehicle (1) is operated in the autonomous drive mode, the mobile apparatus (8) is operated in a first operating mode, wherein the operating data is displayed on the display device (11) only in the first operating mode.

Method and control unit in a vehicle for avoiding an accident at an unattended crosswalk. The method comprises: detecting an approaching crosswalk; detecting a Vulnerable Road User (VRU) in the vicinity of the crosswalk; determining that the detected VRU is going to walk across the road; determining a distance between the vehicle and the crosswalk; estimating a velocity of the VRU; determining a deceleration capacity of the vehicle, based on deceleration sensitivity of passengers on the vehicle, weight of the vehicle, and/or estimated friction between vehicle tires and the road; and determining a recommended action to be made by the vehicle.

A system and method for notifying a user about a temperature condition of a passenger compartment of a vehicle after a lapse of a remote start of a drive system of the vehicle. The system and method include retrieving a weather forecast for an area in which the vehicle is located and estimating a future temperature of the passenger compartment in response to a remote start request. The future temperature of the passenger compartment is a temperature of the passenger compartment after a lapse of a predetermined runtime. In response to determining that the estimated future temperature is outside of the predetermined temperature range a notice is sent to a computing device.

Methods and systems for a complete vehicle ecosystem are provided. Specifically, systems that when taken alone, or together, provide an individual or group of individuals with an intuitive and comfortable vehicular environment. The present disclosure includes a system to recognize the drivers and/or passengers within the automobile. Based on the recognition, the vehicle may change a configuration of the automobile to match predetermined preferences for the driver and/or passenger. The configurations may also include the recognition of a unique set of gestures for the person. Further, the configuration can also include the tracking of health data related to the person.
