Systems and methods for generating sounds in a vehicle, comprising generating a first type of sound via a first channel, and generating remaining sounds via a second channel, wherein the second channel is different than the first channel, and wherein the remaining sounds are different than the first type of sound. In at least one example, the first channel has a volume output that is fixed-defined in an audio system of the vehicle. The first channel may additionally have a fixed output channel with a subset of speakers of the first channel being fixed-defined in the audio system.

An apparatus and a method for supporting safety of a driver are provided. The apparatus for supporting the safety of the driver includes a sensor to sense collision of an electric vehicle, a voltage converter to convert down a high voltage of a high voltage battery, which is provided in the electric vehicle, to a low voltage and to supply the low voltage to a safety device, and a controller to activate the voltage converter in the state that power is not supplied to the safety device provided in the electric vehicle due to the collision, such that the driver is supported to be escaped from the electric vehicle while preparing for a secondary collision with the following vehicle, in the state that power is not supplied to various safety devices provided in the electric vehicle due to a car collision accident.

A vehicle includes a door, an inside door handle, and a door opening warning system having an object sensor that detects an object outside the vehicle in a door collision risk zone, a touchless sensor that detects if a part of a user is positioned in an opening zone at the inside door handle and a touch sensor that detects if the user touches the inside door handle, and a control unit. The control unit triggers a first alarm if the object sensor detects an object in the risk zone and the touchless sensor detects a part of the user in the opening zone at the inside door handle, and triggers a second alarm if the object sensor detects an object in the risk zone and the touch sensor detects that the user is touching the inside door handle.

Methods and systems for providing Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) warnings and/or other types of information to an occupant of a motor vehicle are provided. Warning lights can be provided around the perimeter of a shape that represents the perimeter of the vehicle from a top-view perspective. Lights around the shape can be lit to convey a sense of the area of danger and/or the direction from which danger is approaching.

The present disclosure provides a vehicle collision avoidance control device including: at least one first sensor configured to sense a first direction of a driver vehicle and to sense a first target vehicle in the first direction of the driver vehicle; at least one second sensor configured to sense a second direction that is opposite to the first direction of the driver vehicle and to sense a second target vehicle in the second direction of the driver vehicle; and a controller configured to output a vehicle control signal at least partially on the basis of processing of the first sensor and the second sensor, wherein the controller is configured to generate a primary vehicle control signal for avoiding a primary collision when a primary collision with the first target vehicle is predicted according to a first direction sensing result by the at least one first sensor, to modify the primary vehicle control signal into a secondary vehicle control signal on the basis of a result of sensing the second target vehicle by the at least one second sensor, and to output the secondary vehicle control signal.

A system and method for controlling a vehicle based on a driver status are disclosed. The vehicle control system includes various sensing devices (including a camera, a vehicle dynamics sensor, a vehicle around view monitoring (AVM) camera, a periphery surveillance sensor, and a navigation device) and an electronic control unit (ECU). The ECU may analyze a driver status through the driver's face and pupils recognized by output signals of the sensing devices. If the driver has no intention to drive the vehicle, the ECU may control the vehicle to stop on a road shoulder, resulting in guarantee of safer driving.
