A security system includes: an autonomous vehicle; a camera installed in the autonomous vehicle; and a crime determination unit that makes a determination regarding a crime on the basis of an image captured by the camera. The autonomous vehicle is a shared car shared by residents within a region; in response to a request, the autonomous vehicle automatically picks up at the departure point of the residents and automatically moves to the destination of the residents; and the camera take pictures of the moving section to the starting point and the moving section from the starting point to the destination; and the crime determination unit determines a crime based on the images taken in the moving section to the departure point and the moving section from the starting point to the destination.

Systems and methods for countering the usage of autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicles for ramming attacks on a roadway are disclosed. Digital representations of physical trajectories (e.g., roadway travel routes) across which vehicles are expected or permitted to travel are generated based at least on travel-related data (e.g., sensor readings) received from the vehicles over wireless networks. The disclosed systems and methods further generate digital representations of physical trajectories across which vehicles are not permitted to travel, such that the impermissible physical trajectories constitute a deviation from a safe travel route. Additional travel-related data is continuously received from the vehicles in real-time, and the additional data may be combined with non-vehicle data (e.g., pedestrian travel data) and compared to the generated digital representations of permissible and impermissible physical trajectories to determine if the vehicles' physical trajectory is indicative of a harmful impermissible physical trajectory, such as a vehicular ramming attack.

A vehicle control system comprising: a driving control device that includes a first processor and controls a driving section at a vehicle; a control instructing device includes a second processor and controls the driving control device by giving instructions by communication to the driving control device; and a communication path connects a plurality of control devices, including the control instructing and the driving control devices, the plurality of control devices communicate with one another, wherein the vehicle control system is structured wherein the first and second processors respectively compare a communication period of communication with another control device via the communication path, and a reference period that is stored in advance, based on results of comparisons on the communication period and the reference period that have been carried out by the first processor and the second processor, the second processor judges that there is an attack on the communication path.

This application relates to the automated driving field, and discloses a method for identifying abnormal driving behavior, a system, and a vehicle including the system. The method for identifying abnormal driving behavior includes: obtaining vehicle driving behavior data, and determining, based on the vehicle driving behavior data, whether a vehicle is in a state of suspicious abnormal driving behavior; obtaining current vehicle driving scenario data if the vehicle is in the state of suspicious abnormal driving behavior; and determining, based on the vehicle driving behavior data and the current vehicle driving scenario data, whether the suspicious abnormal driving behavior is abnormal driving behavior. In the technical solutions of this application, current driving scenario information is introduced to an identification process of abnormal driving behavior of the vehicle, so that accuracy of identifying the abnormal driving behavior is improved.

A vehicle diagnostic system includes: a vehicle diagnostic device including a communication unit that communicates with a vehicle which drives autonomously, and a diagnostic unit that performs, via the communication unit, diagnosis as to whether the vehicle is being hacked; and electrical apparatuses that communicate with the vehicle diagnostic device via a network. The diagnostic unit performs the diagnosis when an operational state of at least one electrical apparatus among the electrical apparatuses changes.

A method for controlling a user-initiated vehicle-operation-command, the user of the vehicle being located external to the vehicle during an autonomous driving or parking operation of the vehicle, is provided wherein the vehicle-operation-command is a cancellation or stop command of the autonomous driving or parking operation. A system equipped to perform the method and to a vehicle including the system is also provided. The method and apparatus enhance the security-level of autonomous driving and parking operations.

Apparatus, method and computer readable medium associated with autonomous/semi-autonomous driving are disclosed herein. In embodiments, an apparatus for autonomous/semi-autonomous driving may comprise a management system to be disposed in an autonomous/semi-autonomous vehicle. The management system may include a reservation subsystem to receive, from a cloud server, a reservation of the autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle for a passenger or a driver, and an access control subsystem to control access to the autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle that includes a trust function to gain trust of the passenger or driver with respect to the passenger or driver's data privacy requirements will be met, when the passenger or driver attempts to exercise the reservation. Other embodiments may be disclosed or claimed.

An emergency halt method for a vehicle driving at least partially in automated fashion. The method includes receiving an emergency halt signal; providing a blocking signal, a first control unit being blocked, and the control over controlling driving maneuvers of the vehicle being withdrawn from the first control unit; and providing a not-drive signal for starting an emergency halt maneuver of the vehicle.

The present invention is capable of realizing normal control of a control device and safe operation of a control target. In the present invention, an automatic control unit 10 generates a control output that is output to a control target in response to an input 1. A safety verification control unit 20 is configured to verify safety of the control output at a plurality of verification levels, and controls the control output on the basis of the verification result. A verification level selection unit manages the state related to the normality of the automatic control unit 10, and selects the verification level of the safety of the control output in the safety verification control unit 20 in accordance with the state.

Systems and methods may be used for vehicle support or operation. A method may be performed using an edge device to support operations of a vehicle. The method may include receiving a request from a vehicle component to register with an artificial intelligence processing component of the edge device, sending an acknowledgement of the registration to the vehicle component, receiving a request for a service of the artificial intelligence processing component, and providing, to the vehicle component in response to the request, a response from the service.
