    Abstract: A motor vehicle includes a body defining a passenger compartment and having opposing driver and passenger sides. The vehicle includes driver and passenger side mirrors. The driver side mirror has a sweep angle (α) and an elevation angle (γ). The passenger side mirror has a sweep angle (β). The side mirrors are separated from each other by a distance (D). An adjustable driver seat has a height (H). An electronic controller, in response to position signals inclusive of angles (α), (β), and (γ), the distance (D), and the height (H), calculates a three-dimensional (3D) driver head position of a driver of the vehicle, and thereafter uses the 3D driver head position to improve performance of a driver assist system device. Functions of the controller may be implemented as a method or recorded on a computer readable medium for execution by a processor.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for depth estimation of images from a mono-camera by use of radar data by: receiving, a plurality of input 2-D images from the mono-camera; generating, by the processing unit, an estimated depth image by supervised training of an image estimation model; generating, by the processing unit, a synthetic image from a first input image and a second input image from the mono-camera by applying an estimated transform pose; comparing, by the processing unit, an estimated three-dimensional (3-D) point cloud to radar data by applying another estimated transform pose to a 3-D point cloud wherein the 3-D point cloud is estimated from a depth image by supervised training of the image estimation model to radar distance and radar doppler measurement; correcting a depth estimation of the estimated depth image by losses derived from differences: of the synthetic image and original images; of an estimated depth image and a measured radar distance; and of an estimated doppler information and measured radar doppler information.

    Abstract: A system implemented in a vehicle, the system comprises a sensing module, a zone determination module, and an intent determination module. The sensing module is configured to sense a signal from a mobile device proximate to the vehicle. The zone determination module is configured to determine locations of the mobile device in a plurality of zones around the vehicle based on the signal. A sequence of the locations indicates movement of the mobile device in the plurality of zones. The intent determination module is configured to select weights according to a set of rules to apply to successive locations in the sequence, determine an intent indicator of whether a person carrying the mobile device intends to enter the vehicle by applying the selected weights to the successive locations in the sequence, and generate an output to perform one or more operations in the vehicle based on the intent indicator.

    Abstract: A system and method for traffic signal violation risk assessment for a vehicle. The system includes a sensor such as a front camera module (FCM) configured to capture an image in a field of view forward the vehicle; a vehicle communications system configured for at least one of vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications and telematic communications with an infrastructure unit, wherein the infrastructure unit is capable of providing intersection information; and a traffic signal violation risk assessment (TSVR) module in communication with the FCM and the vehicle communications system. The TSVR module analyzes the captured image to determine an intersection, a traffic light at the intersection, and a traffic light current state (TLCS); collect intersection information from the infrastructure unit, and determine a risk of traffic signal violation based on the information and implement a physical action to mitigate the risk.

    Abstract: A system in a vehicle includes a personal thermal device. The personal thermal device provides heating or cooling to an individual occupant of the vehicle. The system also includes a controller implementing reinforcement learning to control the personal thermal device. The controller obtains states, from one or more sensors, indicating current conditions, to obtain a score that is determined according to the states and that represents a reward used in the reinforcement learning. The controller provides a stochastic policy indicating a probability of taking a particular action to control the personal thermal device based on the score acting as a feedback for feedback control of the personal thermal device using the reinforcement learning.
