A method for providing an assistance signal and/or a control signal for an at least partially automated vehicle includes receiving surroundings data, in particular an acoustic signal; recognizing a warning signal emitted by a further road user based on the received surroundings data; determining whether a hazardous situation relating to the vehicle is or was indicated by the warning signal; and providing the assistance signal and/or the control signal based on the result of the determination.

A vehicle control device comprising: a control unit configured to control an automated parking mode based on a shift position of a transmission when an automated parking is instructed, wherein the automated parking mode includes a first automated parking mode in which steering is not executed and forward movement or rearward movement is possible and a second automated parking mode in which a parking space is detected and steering is executed automatically, and the control unit controls the automated parking mode to be in the first automated parking mode, in a case where the shift position is a first position, and selectively controls the automated parking mode to be in the first automated parking mode or the second automated parking mode, in a case where the shift position is a second position that differs from the first position.

A method of operating a moving object on which a drone is mounted includes detecting, by the moving object, occurrence of an event; determining whether to use the drone, on the basis of the detected event; and determining an operation mode, among a first operation mode and a second operation mode, of the drone when the drone is used.

A drone comprising a camera and a controller. The camera is configured to output data representing an object within a field of view of the camera. The controller is configured to attempt to maintain a visual line of sight with the object. The controller is also configured to cause control equipment of an operator of the drone to notify the operator of the drone, visually, audibly and/or haptically, as to whether or not the object is being tracked by the drone.

The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for rapid switching between an Augmented Reality engagement interface and an orbital motion engagement interface operating via mobile device application. The application may be used to remotely control remote vehicle parking assist functions of a semi-autonomous vehicle. The HMI quick switch system may present two or more user interfaces as alternative options that may allow the user to command a vehicle to perform remote parking assist functions using a securely connected (tethered) mobile device connecting to the vehicle and providing indication of active user engagement with the remote parking assist operations. The HMI quick switch system evaluates user engagement using a complex gesture and video input using the mobile device sensors. By providing an intuitive fast switching interface, a user may provide greater attention to the vehicle and task at hand without undue focus on complex interface actions.

The present disclosure generally relates to vehicle remote parking assistance, and, more specifically, systems and methods for determining a distance between a vehicle and a mobile device during a remote parking procedure. In particular, the systems and methods include selecting a camera lens or focal length for use with a first method of determining a distance between a vehicle and a mobile device based on an image of the vehicle and a digital model of the vehicle.

Immersive experiences for users are described herein. In an example, audio data from a plurality of audio sensors associated with a vehicle can be received by an audio data processing system. The audio data processing system can combine individual captured audio channels (e.g., from the plurality of audio sensors) into two or more audio channels for output via two or more speakers proximate a user. A first audio channel of the two or more audio channels can be output via a first speaker and second audio channel of the two or more audio channels to be output via a second speaker, wherein output of the first audio channel and the second audio channel causes a resulting sound corresponding to at least a portion of a sound scene associated with the vehicle. In an example, a user computing device operable by the user can receive an input from the user.

The system and method for defining boundaries of a simulation of an electric aircraft is illustrated. The system comprises a sensor, a computing device, and a remote device. The sensor is configured to detect an aircraft location datum, detect a boundary datum associated with a three-dimensional flying space, and transmit the aircraft location datum and boundary datum to a computing device. The computing device is configured to receive the aircraft location datum and boundary datum from the sensor, determine a distance datum between the aircraft location and boundary as a function of the aircraft location datum and boundary datum generate a recommended aircraft adjustment as a function of the distance datum, and transmit the distance datum and recommended aircraft adjustment to a remote device. The remote device is configured to receive the distance datum and recommended aircraft adjustment and display them to a user.

There is provided a device or the like capable of causing a result of an operator, remotely operating a working machine, perceiving a motion aspect of the working machine to approximate to a result of the operator perceiving a motion aspect of the working machine when the operator gets on the working machine. When there is represented a relative motion of a first component (lower traveling body 410, upper revolving body 420) and a second component (upper revolving body 420, bucket 445 (working unit)) that constitute working machine 40, based on a result of detecting an operation aspect of a remote operation device 20, control is performed on individual sound output aspects of a plurality of sound output devices 2220, 2221 and 2222, each arranged at different locations in a remote operation space for the operator who operates the remote operation device 20.

Systems and methods for using auditorily-induced vection (AIV) to enhance a person's attitude awareness are provided herein. In at least one embodiment, an auditory object is projected based on the orientation of the person or a vehicle and the projected auditory is provided to the person. By projecting the auditory object, the attitude of the person or the vehicle can be conveyed to the person to enhance the person's attitude awareness.
