A method includes, by a central computing device, receiving instructions to provide access to an autonomous vehicle of multiple autonomous vehicles in a parking area, identifying one or more blocking autonomous vehicles of the multiple autonomous vehicles to be moved to provide access to the autonomous vehicle, and causing each of the blocking autonomous vehicles to perform a pre-computed movement based on a determined state of the blocking autonomous vehicle, wherein the blocking autonomous vehicle performing the pre-computed movement allows the first autonomous vehicle to be accessible.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for controlling an unmanned vehicle, an electronic device and a computer readable storage medium. In this method, the computer device of the unmanned vehicle determines occurrence of an event associated with physical discomfort of a passenger in the vehicle. The computer device also determines a severity degree of the physical discomfort of the passenger. The computer device further controls a driving action of the vehicle based on the determined severity degree.

A method for assisting operation of an ego-vehicle in addressing a dynamic environment in which at least one further traffic object is present, an assistance system and a vehicle are provided. Information on the presence of the at least one other traffic object in the environment of the ego-vehicle is obtained. Then, information whether the other traffic participant has detected the ego-vehicle is obtained. Based on this information, a signal including information about whether the other traffic participant has detected the ego-vehicle is generated and supplied to an output device. An output signal is output based on the information whether the other traffic participant has detected the ego-vehicle, such that a parameter of the output signal is indicative of a detection probability of the detection of the ego-vehicle by the other traffic participant, an elapsed time since the detection and/or a complexity of the dynamic environment.

The present invention provides a system which integrates unique lighting technologies, switching systems, mounting systems, information delivery systems and power supply systems within a support such as vehicular wheel to provide an advanced, high quality visual display apparatus in various surfaces of rotation. A displayed image may be three dimensional. These technologies, and their many unique applications, provide for a novel and useful series of video display devices that are small, lightweight, efficient and can have the capability of producing a clear, bright, high definition image that is equivalent to that of a modern day TV or high quality computer monitor.

A method includes receiving, by a computing device of an autonomous vehicle of multiple autonomous vehicles, instructions to travel to a target location, determining, by the computing device of the autonomous vehicle, that the autonomous vehicle is blocked from traveling to the target location by one or more blocking autonomous vehicles of the multiple autonomous vehicles located at one or more blocking locations, and causing, by the computing device of the autonomous vehicle, coordinated movements by the autonomous vehicle and the one or more blocking autonomous vehicles to be performed to allow the autonomous vehicle to travel to the target location, wherein the coordinated movements include at least one of the blocking autonomous vehicles returning to its respective blocking location after allowing the autonomous vehicle to travel to the target location.

A method includes, by a central computing device, receiving instructions to provide access to a first autonomous vehicle of multiple autonomous vehicles in an array, wherein the first autonomous vehicle is blocked by one or more blocking autonomous vehicles of the multiple autonomous vehicles in the array, and causing coordinated movements to be performed by one or more blocking autonomous vehicles to create a gap in the array, wherein the gap provides a temporary access aisle to provide access to the first autonomous vehicle.

A method includes, by a central computing device, determining that a first autonomous vehicle at a first location is to relocate to a second location, wherein a pathway for the first autonomous vehicle to reach the second location is blocked by one or more second autonomous vehicles, computing coordinated movements for multiple autonomous vehicles including the first autonomous vehicle and the one or more second autonomous vehicles, wherein the coordinated movements are computed to allow the first autonomous vehicle to reach the second location and the coordinated movements include having the first autonomous vehicle wait until after at least one of the second autonomous vehicles performs its coordinated movements, and causing the multiple autonomous vehicles to execute the coordinated movements.

An automated operation vehicle control unit is configured to perform a detection process in which an abnormal condition of a passenger of a vehicle is detected and a notification process in which pedestrians are notified of the abnormal condition detected in the detection process in a case where the abnormal condition of the passenger is detected in the detection process.

A second light device (4b) starts emission of a light pattern B after a first light device (4a) has started emission of a light pattern A. Elements included in the light pattern B and an element included in the light pattern A are arranged on the same straight line.

A method is provided for direction-dependent signaling particularly by a vehicle, including: display of two or more graphical messages from the same vehicle region to the outside; wherein each graphical message has an associated spatial angle from which only the respective graphical message is visible, but not the other graphical message(s). The spatial angles differ at least in an angle parameter.
