A vehicle sets a first determination region of a first obstacle and a second determination region, on the basis of a position of the first obstacle. The second determination region is located at a position farther than the first determination region. A reliability of the second obstacle is set to a first reliability in a case where a position of a second obstacle falls outside the first determination region and falls outside the second determination region. The reliability of the second obstacle is set to a second reliability higher than the first reliability in a case where the position of the second obstacle falls within the first determination region or falls within the second determination region. Braking is applied to the vehicle body and/or acceleration of the vehicle body is suppressed, on the basis of the reliability of the second obstacle and the position of the second obstacle.

A control method of an in-wheel motor vehicle includes: determining, by a controller, a state of a steering load that is a load of a steering system; maintaining, by the controller, a front wheel brake in a released state, when the state of the steering load is in a high load state of a predetermined level or more; determining, by the controller, a tire angle of a front wheel according to a driver steering input based on driver steering input information in the released state of the front wheel brake; determining, by the controller, a required tire rotational angle of the front wheel by using the determined tire angle of the front wheel; and reducing, by the controller, the steering load by driving an in-wheel motor of the front wheel for a compensation by the determined required tire rotational angle of the front wheel.

A torque control method and apparatus for a vehicle, including: determining whether a torque change request is received, during a process of performing an energy recovery function; determining whether an antilock brake system is in an active state, in case that the torque change request is not received; if so, decreasing an energy recovery torque with a first torque change gradient; determining whether the antilock brake system is transited from the activated state to a non-activated state, during a process of decreasing the energy recovery torque; if so, determining whether it is satisfied that a first current driver demand torque is greater than a first preset value and the antilock brake system is in the non-activated state for longer than a first preset time; and if satisfied, recovering the energy recovery torque to the first current driver demand torque with a second torque change gradient.

A driver assistance method and a driver assistance apparatus are provided, which may be applied to the field of autonomous driving or intelligent driving. The driver assistance method includes: determining that a driver is in an abnormal state; determining that a first operation performed by the driver on a first terminal is an abnormal operation; and performing first processing, where the first processing includes outputting indication information and/or control information, and the indication information or the control information indicates a second operation performed on the first terminal, or the first processing includes controlling the first terminal to perform the second operation.

A method of switching a control right according to a driving mode of a vehicle in a control right switching system operated by at least one processor is provided. Upon receiving a command to switch a driving mode of a vehicle being in any one driving mode of a manual driving mode or an autonomous driving mode, a torque value of a control unit that controls the vehicle according to a current driving mode of the vehicle is initialized. Furthermore, after transferring a driving mode control right of the vehicle from a vehicle to a driver or from the driver to the vehicle by increasing or reducing a vehicle control right to control the vehicle, whether to switch the driving mode is determined through monitoring information obtained by the control unit in the vehicle whose driving mode was switched during a predetermined time period.

Aspects of the disclosure provide for determining when to provide and providing secondary disengage alerts for a vehicle having autonomous and manual driving modes. For instance, while the vehicle is being controlled in the autonomous driving mode, user input is received at one or more user input devices of the vehicle. In response to receiving the user input, the vehicle may be transitioned from the autonomous driving mode to a manual driving mode and provide a primary disengage alert to an occupant of the vehicle regarding the transition. Whether to provide a secondary disengage alert may be determined based on at least circumstances of the user input. After the transition, the secondary disengage alert may be provided based on the determination.

A method for setting a tuning parameter for an Automated Driving System (ADS) of a vehicle is disclosed. A corresponding non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, vehicle control device and a vehicle comprising such a control device are also disclosed. The method comprises receiving environmental data from a perception system of the vehicle, said environmental data comprising a plurality of environmental parameters, determining, by means of a self-learning model, an environmental scenario based on the received environmental data; setting the tuning parameter for the ADS based on the self-learning model and the determined environmental scenario, the tuning parameter defining a dynamic parameter of the ADS, receiving at least one signal representative of a vehicle user feedback on the set tuning parameter, and updating the self-learning model for the set tuning parameter for the identified environmental scenario based on the received vehicle user feedback.

A vehicle control device executes driving assistance control for assisting driving a host vehicle by a driver. The vehicle control device stops the driving assistance control under execution when a predetermined actuator of the host vehicle is operated. The vehicle control device executes, as the driving assistance control, abnormality countermeasure control for securing safe traveling of the host vehicle when the driver falls into an abnormal state having a problem in driving the host vehicle, and when the predetermined actuator is operated, and when the abnormality countermeasure control is not being executed, stops the driving assistance control, and when the abnormality countermeasure control is being executed, does not stop the driving assistance control including the abnormality countermeasure control.

A device for remotely changing the control of power generated by an internal combustion engine of a recreational vehicle driven by a driver controlling an accelerator pedal. The device includes a remote control, sending a signal for modulating the power and/or speed of the engine. The device comprises a system for measuring the position of the accelerator pedal, a system for receiving the signal for modulating the power and/or speed, a system for controlling the intake of gases into the engine, and an electronics module connected to the various systems, establishing rules for controlling the intake control system, depending on the position of the accelerator pedal and the received modulation signal.

A vehicle includes a detection system configured to acquire data regarding operation of the vehicle, and a robotic driving device configured to provide robotic control of the vehicle. The vehicle also includes a control system configured to determine whether the robotic driving device is activated, such that the vehicle is in robotic driving mode; receive a request by a prospective operator of the vehicle to deactivate the robotic driving device to initiate a manual driving mode; determine whether the prospective operator is impaired based on the data; and selectively grant or refuse the request based on the determination.
