A method for operating a control device of a motor vehicle driving by automation. The method includes determining a location of the motor vehicle, and acquiring driving-environment data of the motor vehicle, a control characteristic of the control device of the motor vehicle being formed in such a way that a driving behavior of at least one other road user is influenced in defined manner.

Disclosed is a driver assistance system including a camera installed in a vehicle, the camera having a field of view around the vehicle and obtaining an image data; and a controller configured to process the image data. The controller performs a lane keeping assistance control for providing an auxiliary steering torque to a steering actuator to maintain a driving lane of a vehicle. The controller changes at least one of a vehicle speed and the auxiliary steering torque depending on a payload of the vehicle during the lane keeping assistance control.

An example operation includes one or more of determining a transport is operating in an unsafe manner, directing a proximate transport operating in a safe manner to maneuver in front of the transport, and directing the proximate transport to control at least one function of the transport.

A parking assist system includes: a control device configured to execute a driving process for autonomously moving a vehicle to a target position; a steering operation member configured to receive a steering operation performed by an occupant; a vehicle state detecting device; and a notification device configured to make a notification to the occupant. In the driving process, the control device executes vehicle speed control and steering control. When, during execution of the driving process, the control device determines that the vehicle is a suspension state in which the driving process should be temporarily suspended, the control device causes the notification device to output a prescribed notification and executes a suspension process. In the suspension process, the control device executes the vehicle speed control to stop the vehicle and stops the steering control.

Provided is a control apparatus for a vehicle configured to perform driving support control when a driving support operation state is an on state, the control apparatus being further configured to, in a case where the driving support operation state is the on state and a driving operation switching request for changing the driving support operation state to an off state is issued, calculate a target speed at a driving operation switching time point at which the driving support operation state is changed from the on state to the off state, and perform deceleration control for decelerating the vehicle such that a speed of the vehicle matches the target speed at the driving operation switching time point.

An autonomous vehicle can obtain sensor data. Upon determining that the autonomous vehicle is in a lane adjacent a shoulder, and there is an object in the shoulder, the autonomous vehicle can determine if performing a lane change maneuver out of the lane prior to the autonomous vehicle being positioned adjacent to the object is feasible. If it is, the lane change maneuver can be performed. If it is not, a nudge maneuver and/or a deceleration can be performed.

A vehicle, and a method and system for operating the vehicle. The system includes a processor. The processor receives a driver input at the vehicle, determines a current lateral force on a tire of the vehicle for the driver input, determines a desired yaw rate and lateral velocity for the vehicle based on the current lateral force on the tire that operates the vehicle at a maximum yaw moment, and operates the vehicle at the desired yaw rate and lateral velocity.

An agricultural sprayer includes a computing system configured to receive a first input associated with a target application rate at which agricultural fluid is to be dispensed onto the field. Moreover, the computing system is configured to receive a second input associated with a turn being made or to be made by the sprayer. Additionally, the computing system is configured to determine a maximum ground speed for the turn at which a selected nozzle dispenses the agricultural fluid onto the field at the target application rate based on the received first and second inputs. Furthermore, when the turn is being made, the computing system is configured to control an operation of the sprayer such that the ground speed of the sprayer is at or below the determined maximum ground speed.

When a subject vehicle performs first autonomous lane change control from a subject vehicle lane to an adjacent lane and then consecutively perform autonomous lane change control to a next adjacent lane in the same direction of lane change, lateral speed to perform second and subsequent autonomous lane change control is set slower than lateral speed to perform the first autonomous lane change control. Thus, the second and subsequent autonomous lane change control to the adjacent lane in the same direction of lane change is performed more slowly than the previously performed autonomous lane change control. Time used for confirming surrounding situations is lengthened, and the surrounding situations can be properly confirmed prior to the lane change.

A method of operating a vehicle having a driver assistance system includes detecting driving parameters pertaining to the vehicle while the vehicle is being driven on a roadway using a sensor system of the vehicle. Objects including road signs, lane indicators, and other vehicles are detected using the sensor system. The objects include at least road signs, lane indicators, and other vehicles on the roadway. A traffic rule pertaining to the roadway is identified using a traffic violation warning and prevention system of the driver assistance system. A traffic situation pertaining to the traffic rule is detected based on the detected objects and the driving parameters. An alert is generated that warns the driver of a potential traffic violation when the traffic situation is detected. Alternatively, the driver assistance system may be configured to take control of the vehicle to prevent violation of the traffic rule.
