The present disclosure relates to an electronic device configured to send a service request of a service to a remote server; receive an authority from the remote server; and control, according to the authority, an on-board device mounted on a target vehicle that is assigned by the remote server to provide the service to a user associated with the electronic device.

A system and method of method of operating a vehicle using wireless communications, the method including: receiving a remote vehicle ignition start request via a wireless signal, wherein the remote vehicle ignition start request is a request to start an ignition of the vehicle; when the remote vehicle ignition start request is received, obtaining vehicle state information including a vehicle operating state and/or a vehicle environmental state; in response to receiving the remote vehicle ignition start request, selecting one or more remote start operating parameters based at least partly on the obtained vehicle state information; and after determining the one or more operating parameters, carrying out the remote command request according to the one or more selected remote start operating parameters.

A vehicle composite pane with an integrated light sensor is presented. The vehicle composite pane includes an outer pane and an inner pane that are bonded to one another via a thermoplastic intermediate layer. A photodiode situated on a circuit board is arranged between the outer pane and the inner pane, wherein the photodiode is a surface-mounted device (SMD) component.

Dynamic wireless configuration of a vehicle via a network slice to facilitate improved subscriber experiences is presented herein. A dynamic recommendation engine can comprise a data component and a configuration component. The data component can obtain, via a network slice associated with a virtual network function corresponding to a vehicle service, subscriber profile data comprising preferences of a subscriber of the vehicle service. Further, the data component can obtain, via the network slice, telemetry data from a group of sensors corresponding to a route. Based on the subscriber profile data and the telemetry data, the configuration component can determine, via the network slice, configuration data for a vehicle of the vehicle service, and send, via the network slice using a wireless interface, the configuration data directed to the vehicle to facilitate a selection of a configuration of the vehicle.

A telematics device of a vehicle, comprising includes a temperature sensor to sense temperature of the telematics device; and a processor in communication with the temperature sensor. The processor is programmed to disable over-the-air software update functionality responsive to the temperature exceeding a first predefined threshold value, disable hotspot functionality responsive to the temperature exceeding a second predefined threshold value, and disable remote services functionality responsive to the temperature exceeding a third predefined threshold value.

The present disclosure relates to an electronic device configured to send a service request of a service to a remote server; receive an authority from the remote server; and control, according to the authority, an on-board device mounted on a target vehicle that is assigned by the remote server to provide the service to a user associated with the electronic device.

A system providing remaining driving information of a vehicle based on user behavior includes a detection unit, a memory unit and a computation unit. The system stores information acquired by the detection unit during a moving progress of the vehicle to the memory unit to serve as history information, and accordingly generates a personalized model. The computation unit acquires current remaining energy information and at least one set of real-time information through the detection unit, inputs the same to the personalized model, and outputs a predictive remaining driving information to a display interface. The personalized model is generated based on user habits and behavior of various users, used vehicle and driving environment, and is thus capable of generating the personalized predictive remaining driving information. Accordingly, the personalized model integrating various personal factors, vehicle parameters and environment parameters can provide more accurate predictive information for reference of a user.

A vehicle composite pane with an integrated light sensor is disclosed. The vehicle composite pane includes an outer pane and an inner pane that are bonded to one another via a thermoplastic intermediate layer. A plurality of photodiodes situated on a circuit board are arranged between the outer pane and the inner pane. The photodiodes are surface-mounted device (SMD) components. The photodiodes are arranged on the circuit board as groups of parallel connected photodiodes. All groups of the parallel connected photodiodes are connected to a common electrical input and each group is connected to a separate electrical output.

A method for detecting a special operating state of a motor vehicle which differs from a normal operating state of the motor vehicle, in which a noise emitted by the motor vehicle during operation of the motor vehicle is captured in the interior of the motor vehicle using a mobile apparatus which is separate from the motor vehicle, and the noise is compared with a plurality of reference noises provided by the mobile apparatus, the noise being assigned to a most similar reference noise of the plurality of reference noises on the basis of the comparison if a minimum similarity value is exceeded, and the special operating state being detected by the assignment which has been carried out.
