According to various aspects, a controller includes one or more processors configured to: determine when a predicted event occurs, at which a velocity of a vehicle is changed; and provide an instruction for a reorientation of one or more seats of the vehicle based on when the predicted event occurs.

A vehicle may receive sensor data captured by a sensor, determine that the sensor data represents an object in the environment, and determine a collision probability associated with a predicted collision between the vehicle and the object. Based at least in part on the collision probability, a position of a headrest of the vehicle may be determined relative to a head of an occupant of the vehicle. The headrest may be adjusted in one or more directions prior to occurrence of the predicted collision to minimize injury to the occupant due to the collision.

A vehicle with a pod separable from a chassis therein, and when a collision detection system detects a collision or an imminent collision, the system will issue a signal to cause an electro-mechanical locking system to detach the pod from the chassis, and further, to move the pod partly or completely out of the vehicle to escape the collision.

A method for operating an occupant protection device of a vehicle involves triggering an occupant protection mechanism, in the event of an imminent detected collision for the vehicle or of a detected collision of the vehicle. The triggering also depends upon detected image data of at least one interior camera of the vehicle and the triggering can be suppressed based on the detected image data of the interior camera.

Vehicle having dangerous situation notification function and control method, where the method includes monitoring a vicinity of a host vehicle, detecting a movable object in the vicinity of the host vehicle, predicting a dangerous situation in which a collision between the host vehicle and the object is expected, and displaying a warning mark on at least one of a roadway or a wall surface in a projection mapping method in response to the dangerous situation. One or more of an autonomous vehicle, a user terminal, and a server may be in conjunction with an Artificial Intelligence (AI) module, an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), an Augmented Reality (AR) device, a Virtual Reality (VR) device, and a device related to a 5G service, etc.

Provided is a vehicle braking support device. The braking support device includes: detection units for detecting a state around a host vehicle; a braking support control unit for executing braking support by a braking device according to the detected state; and a vehicle stop control unit for maintaining a stopped state of a host vehicle after the host vehicle is stopped by the braking support control unit, and for releasing the stopped state of the host vehicle after a predetermined period has elapsed. The vehicle stop control unit, in a case where by using the detected state it is determined that it is desirable to maintain the stopped state of the host vehicle beyond the predetermined period, the vehicle stop control unit does not release the stopped state of the host vehicle until an operation by a driver is detected.
