The following relates generally to determining effectiveness of an update to a vehicle feature. In some embodiments, information indicating an update to a vehicle feature, and accident record information may be received. A first dataset from before the update was implemented in the vehicle, and a second dataset from after the update was implemented in the vehicle may then be constructed. An effectiveness score may then be calculated based upon the first and second datasets.

A method for coordinating vehicles of a vehicle group, including implementing a requested setpoint acceleration, wherein the setpoint acceleration for each vehicle is specified as a function of an emergency braking request triggered manually or automatically, assigning a position in the vehicle group to each vehicle, implementing the emergency braking request, providing, in an advanced emergency braking system (AEBS) cascade, at least a first warning phase for an optical or acoustic warning of a driver of the respective vehicle of the vehicle group, and an emergency braking phase for braking the respective vehicle of the vehicle group as a function of the emergency braking request, at an emergency braking time, and providing a haptic warning phase for at least one vehicle of the vehicle group at a haptic time within a framework of the AEBS cascade.

An onboard update apparatus includes a control unit that controls adoption of an update program by an onboard ECU installed in a vehicle, wherein the control unit attempts to communicate with an external server outside of the vehicle when a target onboard ECU for updating adopts the update program stored in a predetermined storage area in the vehicle; in a case where communication with the external server is successful, in a case where information relating to cancelation of the update program is acquired, adoption of the update program by the target onboard ECU for updating is canceled, and in a case where the information relating to cancelation cannot be acquired, the target onboard ECU for updating adopts the update program; and in a case where communication with the external server has failed, the target onboard ECU for updating adopts the update program.

An onboard update apparatus including a control unit that controls processing for updating a program of an onboard ECU, wherein the onboard update apparatus is communicatively connected to an external server via a plurality of communication paths; the plurality of communication paths include a communication path via a charging control apparatus that controls charging of the vehicle by a charging apparatus outside of the vehicle capable of communication with the external server, and a communication path via an outside-vehicle communication apparatus installed in the vehicle and capable of communication with the external server; the control unit selects one communication path from among the plurality of communication paths; and an update program is acquired from the external server via the communication path selected.

A control device that controls a straddle type vehicle, the control device comprising: a route information acquisition unit configured to acquire information of a scheduled travel route of the straddle type vehicle; a weather information acquisition unit configured to acquire weather information corresponding to the scheduled travel route; a determination unit configured to determine whether the scheduled travel route of the straddle type vehicle is to be affected by weather based on the weather information; and a control unit configured to control a function related to a traveling state of the straddle type vehicle, based on a determination result of the determination unit.

A device includes a target information acquisition sensor configured to detect a target present in a region rearward of a host vehicle, and acquire information about the target as target information; and an electronic control unit configured to, while the host vehicle is stopped, calculate, based on the target information, a predicted time required for the target to come into contact with or close proximity to the host vehicle, and execute drop-off assist control for assisting drop-off of an occupant of the host vehicle when the predicted time is equal to or smaller than a predetermined time threshold, set the time threshold to a predetermined first time threshold when a speed of the target is equal to or lower than a predetermined first speed, and set the time threshold to a value smaller than the first time threshold when the speed of the target is higher than the first speed.

Systems, devices, computer-implemented methods, and/or computer program products that facilitate dynamic curve speed control adaptive to road conditions. In one example, a system can comprise a process that executes computer executable components stored in memory. The computer executable components can comprise a curvature component, a road condition component, and a safety component. The curvature component can generate composite curvature data for a curve of a road preceding a vehicle using digital map data and lane marker data. The road condition component can generate friction data for a surface of the road using sensor data obtained from an on-board sensor of the vehicle. The safety component can determine a safe operational profile for traversing the curve using the composite curvature data and the friction data.

An evacuation running assistance system includes a road shoulder evacuation possibility determiner to determine if an own vehicle can be evacuated to a road shoulder; an own vehicle situation determiner to determine a current situation of an own vehicle in accordance with a time limit and the road shoulder evacuation possibility, a controller to control an own vehicle in accordance with the situation of the own vehicle; and a road shoulder evacuation possibility road determiner to acquire evacuation space information from a past running history of the own vehicle. The own vehicle situation determiner determines that the own vehicle is in the situation to be controlled to perform the on-lane stopping when the road shoulder evacuation possibility road determiner does not determine within the provisional time that the evacuation of the own vehicle to the road shoulder is possible.

A method includes receiving a first signal from a first button circuit in a first location indicating possible interaction with a corresponding interactable element by a user, and receiving sensed signal data from a first sensor circuit indicating changes in electrical properties of an electrode of the first sensor circuit The method includes determining whether the sensed signal data indicates detection of a first frequency identifying the first location based on receiving the first signal indicating the possible interaction with the corresponding interactable element. When the sensed signal data indicates detection of the first frequency identifying the first location, performance of a functionality associated with the corresponding interactable element is facilitated.

A device and a method for controlling OTA update of a vehicle, to automatically set an optimal current consumption regardless of a vehicle model and an option for each vehicle model, includes a sensor configured for measuring a current consumption of a battery provided in the vehicle, and a controller that sets an initial current consumption to the vehicle, determines whether the OTA update is possible based on the initial current consumption and an expected over the air (OTA) update time, and determines an optimal current consumption based on the initial current consumption and an average current consumption during the OTA update.
