A method for matching a reference object and a test object includes providing a test object in a field of sensing of at least one sensor disposed at a vehicle. A volume match is determined based on a volume of the reference object and a volume of the test object. A distance match is determined based on a center and orientation of the reference object and a center and orientation of the test object. An angle match is determined based on a yaw angle of the reference object and a yaw angle of the test object. A superposition of the volume match, the distance match, and the angle match is determined based on a multiplication of the volume match, the distance match, and the angle match. A degree of matching of the reference object and the test object is determined based on the superposition.

Various embodiments relate generally to autonomous vehicles and associated mechanical, electrical and electronic hardware, computer software and systems, and wired and wireless network communications to provide an autonomous vehicle fleet as a service. More specifically, systems, devices, and methods are configured to generate trajectories to influence navigation of autonomous vehicles. In particular, a method may include receiving path data to navigate from a first geographic location to a second geographic location, generating data representing a trajectory with which to control motion of the autonomous vehicle based on the path data, generating data representing a contingent trajectory, monitoring generation of the trajectory, and implementing the contingent trajectory subsequent to an absence of the trajectory.

An interactive autonomous driving system for an autonomous driving vehicle may include: a target mapping device that determines whether an obstacle is present in a predetermined range of a target selected by a passenger and outputting obstacle information; a target attribute determination device that determines a target attribute based on the obstacle information and outputs target controllable item information; and a processor that generates control mode recommendation information selectable by the passenger based on the target controllable item information and outputs target attribute information and a selected control mode when control mode selection information is received from the passenger.

A selectable vehicle profile for an electrified vehicle (EV) may be communicated to a vehicle controller to modify vehicle acceleration, generate simulated engine sounds, customize the look and feel of a vehicle instrument cluster/panel display and/or human-machine interface(s) (HMI) (including gages, menus, displays, colors etc.), control transmission simulated shift schedule and feel, control active suspension/ride control, and similar features so that the EV operates to provide a driving experience similar to a previously profiled vehicle, such as a non-electrified vehicle. Vehicle profiles may be generated by an OEM or after-market supplier based on actual measurements and/or specifications associated with operation of a particular non-electrified vehicle. The vehicle profile may be licensed for download to the EV, and/or made available through a subscription service, for example.

A machine includes an engine, an electronic display device, and a controller configured to: receive one or more signals indicating an identification of a machine operator; retrieve a name of the operator associated with the identification of the operator in a first data set of machine operators; retrieve one or more saved machine parameters associated with the name of the operator in a second data set of machine parameters; and set one or more current machine parameters to the one or more saved machine parameters.

Provided is a display apparatus including a display unit, a communicator configured to sense contact of an electronic device and to communicate with the electronic device; and a controller configured to sense a function associated with the electronic device, to display a user interface (UI) on the display unit for manipulating the sensed function, and to receive, from the control device, a user input for manipulating the function with respect to the UI.

Provided are a driving assistance system and method. The driving assistance system is for interfacing with an individual vehicle and includes: a camera system that generates image information about the surroundings of the vehicle; a vehicle controller that generates driving information about the vehicle; and a communication port. The driving assistance system includes a driving assistance terminal and/or mobile device that are/is connected to the communication port, acquire(s) image information and/or driving information by using the communication port, and execute(s) at least a portion of a travel program for the driving assistance terminal and/or mobile device on the basis of an image and/or driving information for controlling the vehicle with respect to one or more of auxiliary travels and/or autonomous operations of the vehicle through a control signal generated by the driving assistance terminal or the mobile device and provided to the vehicle.

A vehicle control system includes a vehicle controller and a portable user device. The vehicle controller is configured to control operation of a vehicle component of a vehicle. The portable user device is configured to wirelessly connect to the vehicle controller and facilitate providing a command to the vehicle controller regarding operation of the vehicle component from an exterior of the vehicle.

A remote vehicle control is activated. A throttle position on the control is maintained for a specified time. A transmission of a vehicle is engaged based on the throttle position.

A method includes, while detecting a continuous motion input in a first region of a touchscreen of a portable device in communication with a vehicle, detecting a steering input from a second region of the touchscreen, and actuating a steering component of the vehicle based on the steering input.
