An automotive gateway includes one or more interfaces and one or more processors. The one or more interfaces are configured to communicate with electronic subsystems of a vehicle. The one or more processors and configured to host one or more guest applications and to control communication traffic between the one or more guest applications and the electronic subsystems of the vehicle in accordance with a security policy.

A vehicle secure start method applicable to an electronic control unit of a vehicle includes, after the vehicle is powered on, signing stored first firmware based on a preset symmetric encryption algorithm and a symmetric key to obtain a first signature value, comparing the first signature value with a stored second signature value, and controlling the vehicle to be securely started in response to the first signature value being same as the second signature value. The symmetric key is generated based on a random number generation algorithm when firmware is received for a first time. The second signature value is generated by performing encryption based on the preset symmetric encryption algorithm and the symmetric key when the first firmware is received.

An information processing device that includes: a processor configured to: receive a transmission frame containing vehicle information; disassemble the transmission frame into signals; and store a value of each signal in an array pre-prepared by the signal and an ID of the transmission frame according to a reception sequence of the signals.

Interactive content can be managed and provided to occupants of an automated vehicle to enhance their experience while in the vehicle. Orchestrator component can determine interactive content based on conditions associated with the vehicle, user preferences, video content, or other information. Interactive content can comprise video content, audio content, and control content. Video content can comprise augmented reality or virtual reality content. Control content can be used to control vehicle operation in relation to or synchronization with presentation of video content. Orchestrator component can correlate between certain roads on which the vehicle can travel and entertainment presentations presented to a vehicle occupant. Orchestrator component can control vehicle operation to have the vehicle recreate a vehicle action sequence (VAS) in a video program being presented to the occupant in the vehicle. Orchestrator component can notify nearby vehicles when VAS is be recreated, or another vehicle also can participate in VAS.

An information processing device including a storage section and a control section. The storage section is configured to store startup condition information determined for each of plural virtual machines and including a startup condition related to a confirmation result of processing status of a processing execution section that performs processing related to the virtual machine or a startup condition related to a startup status of another virtual machine. The control section is configured to startup the virtual machine that has satisfied the startup condition based on the startup condition information.

An in-vehicle communication system includes a first relay apparatus installed in a first area of a vehicle, and a second relay apparatus installed in a second area and are connected via a communication main line. A main control apparatus and an auxiliary control apparatus are connected to the first relay apparatus and a controlled apparatus is connected to the second relay apparatus, each connected via a communication branch line. The first input apparatus is installed in the first area and inputs information to the main control apparatus and the auxiliary control apparatus. The second input apparatus is installed in the second area and inputs information to the main control apparatus and the auxiliary control apparatus via the first relay apparatus and the second relay apparatus. The first relay apparatus and the controlled apparatus communicate via an auxiliary communication line provided into both the first area and the second area.

One or more embodiments described herein relate to a modular multifunctional system for a vehicle, and more specifically, to a versatile sensor system integrated into a modular overhead console. Multiple systems and functions are consolidated into particular overhead units to allow for increase space inside a vehicle, decreased design restrictions, and the use of a single type of modular overhead console in multiple vehicle types and models.

An object detection system includes: a transmission unit configured to sequentially transmit a plurality of transmission waves to which identification information different from one another is applied; a reception unit configured to sequentially receive a plurality of reception waves respectively corresponding to the plurality of transmission waves returned in response to reflection by an object after all the plurality of transmission waves are transmitted by the transmission unit; and a detection processing unit configured to detect information related to the object based on a relationship between the plurality of transmission waves and the plurality of reception waves.

Methods and systems for sharing image data between vehicles. The system includes an image sensor of a first vehicle configured to detect image data of an environment around the first vehicle as it traverses a road. The system also includes a transceiver of the first vehicle configured to communicate the detected image data. The system also includes a transceiver of a second vehicle configured to receive the detected image data. The system also includes a display screen of the second vehicle configured to display a view of the environment around the road based on the detected image data.

A method used in an on-board network system, having electronic controllers that exchange messages and a fraud-detecting electronic controller. The method includes receiving an inquiry for a vehicle status indicating whether a vehicle in which the fraud-detecting electronic controller is installed is running from an external device, transmitting the vehicle status to the external device, and determining whether a message transmitted conforms to fraud detection rules. The method also includes receiving from the external device the delivery data, including updated fraud detection rules and network type information indicating a network type that the updated fraud detection rules are to be applied The method further includes determining whether the vehicle is running, and whether the network type information indicates a drive network that is connected to an electronic controller related to travel of the vehicle. When the network type information does not indicate the drive network, updating the fraud detection rules.
