A hybrid deterministic override to cloud based probabilistic advanced driver assistance systems. Under default driving conditions, an ego vehicle is controlled by a probabilistic controller in a cloud. An overall gap between the ego vehicle and a leading vehicle is divided into an emergency collision gap and a driver specified gap. The vehicle sensors monitor the overall gap. When the gap between the ego vehicle and the leading vehicle is less than or equal to the emergency collision gap, a deterministic controller of the ego vehicle overrides the cloud based probabilistic controller to control the braking and acceleration of the ego vehicle.

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 is provided including an electronic power steering system, an electronic throttle control system, and a stability control system.

A control process including the following steps is executed. The control process includes, at the time of switching from series-parallel mode to series mode, a step of reducing an engine torque, a step of releasing a clutch, a step of reducing a reaction torque of a first rotary electric machine and a step of increasing a torque of a second rotary electric machine, and, when synchronization is started and a step of increasing a positive torque of the first MG, a step of starting engagement of a clutch, and, when a rotation speed of the first rotary electric machine and a rotation speed of an engine are synchronous with each other, a step of engaging the clutch.

In one embodiment, motion planning and control data is received, where the motion planning and control data indicates that an autonomous vehicle is to move from a first point to a second point of a path within a predetermined route. In response to the motion planning and control data, the path from the first point to the second point is segmented into multiple path segments. For each of the path segments, one of predetermined driving scenes is identified that matches motion characteristics of the corresponding path segment. The motion planning and control data associated with the path segments is modified based on predetermined motion settings of the path segments. The autonomous vehicle is driven through the path segments of the path based on the modified motion planning and control data.

A drive control device of a hybrid vehicle provided with a motor and an engine is provided. The control device includes a processor configured to execute a target fuel consumption setting module that sets a target fuel consumption according to the number of lapsed days from a given reference timing, an actual fuel consumption calculating module that calculates an actual fuel consumption actually consumed during a specific period from the reference timing, a forcible consumption calculating module that compares the actual fuel consumption with the target fuel consumption, and when the actual fuel consumption is less than the target fuel consumption, calculates a forcible consumption of fuel according to a difference therebetween, and a traveling controlling module that controls the drive of the motor and the engine so that traveling at least with the engine is continuously performed until the fuel is consumed by the forcible consumption.

Systems and methods are disclosed for determining, and displaying, the regulatory compliance status of a motorized vehicle, a driver of a motorized vehicle, or a non-vehicle machine. An authorized agent, such as a law enforcement officer, can perform a remotely-initiated safe stop of a motorized vehicle to prevent a high-speed chase. A system management center can receive, store, and transmit regulatory compliance records indicating the regulatory compliance status of drivers, motorized vehicles, and non-vehicle machines. A motorized vehicle can detect, and report, a driver “tail-gating” the motorized vehicle. The regulatory compliance history of drivers, motorized vehicles, and non-vehicle machines can be queried by authorized users.

A control system of a vehicle includes: a target speed module configured to, using a parametric driver model and based on first driver parameters, second driver parameters, and vehicle parameters, determine a target vehicle speed trajectory for a future predetermined period; a driver parameters module configured to determine the first driver parameters based on conditions within a predetermined distance in front of the vehicle; and a control module configured to adjust at least one actuator of the vehicle based on the target vehicle speed trajectory and a present vehicle speed.

An autonomous dock system for a vehicle, comprises a control system with instructions comprising steps for receiving a request to implement an autonomous dock routine. A vehicle speed and clutch position are calculated. A clutch position controller is commanded to maintain the calculated clutch position. An actual torque amount is iteratively detected as transferred across the clutch. A vehicle speed-control mechanism is commanded to maintain the calculated vehicle speed, and the actual vehicle speed is iteratively detected. When comparing the commanded vehicle speed to the detected actual vehicle speed indicates that the detected actual vehicle speed is below a speed threshold, and when the actual torque amount transferred across the clutch exceeds a torque threshold, the control system commands an increase in vehicle speed.

A vehicle control system includes a memory, a first processor mounted in a vehicle, and a second processor different from an in-vehicle device. The first processor and the second processor are configured to execute acquisition processing, operation processing, reward calculation processing, and update processing. The first processor is configured to execute at least the acquisition processing and the operation processing, and the second processor is configured to execute the update processing.
