Abstract: A wellbeing system configured for assessing a mental wellbeing of a driver while driving the vehicle and deploying a countermeasure in response to a mindfulness level of the driver being beyond a desired range. The countermeasure may be configured to mitigate a probability of a mental wellbeing of the driver undesirably impacting operation of the vehicle.

Abstract: Presented are intelligent vehicle systems for thermal event mitigation during vehicle towing, methods for making/using such systems, and vehicles equipped with such intelligent control systems. A method of operating a host vehicle includes a resident or remote vehicle controller verifying the host vehicle is an incapacitated state. Responsive to the incapacitation of the host vehicle, the controller detects the host vehicle being towed by a tow vehicle and identifies a wireless-enabled portable computing device (PCD) within a predefined range of the host vehicle. Responsive to the host vehicle being towed, the controller determines if the wireless-enabled PCD is on the tow vehicle while towing the host vehicle. Upon detection of a thermal event in at least one battery cell in the host vehicle's battery system while the host vehicle is being towed, the controller responsively commands a resident vehicle subsystem to execute a control operation to mitigate the thermal event.

Abstract: A location assistance system includes a distress vehicle and multiple assistance vehicles. The distress vehicle broadcasts an emergency signal. The assistance vehicles are operable to receive the emergency signal, determine multiple distances to the distress vehicle, triangulate among the assistance vehicles to generate a spatial map of the distress vehicle relative to the assistance vehicles, determine one or more approximately horizontal lines in the spatial map that include the distress vehicle and at least one horizontally aligned assistance vehicle in response to the distress vehicle and the at least one horizontally aligned assistance vehicle being on a same vertical level in the spatial map, coordinate among the assistance vehicles to determine one or more horizontal sequences along the one or more approximately horizontal lines, and flash the of the assistance vehicles in the one or more horizontal sequences to lead toward the distress vehicle.

Abstract: A method of extending connectivity of a recipient vehicle may be executed by a non-transitory computer-readable medium. During an ignition off state of the recipient vehicle, the method includes disabling a recipient cellular network access device (NAD) of the recipient vehicle and connecting to a low power communications source. The method includes communicating with a centralized location over the low power communications source. The low power communications source may be a recipient Bluetooth® low energy (BLE) within the recipient vehicle. The method may include connecting to a donor vehicle proximate the recipient vehicle. The donor vehicle includes a donor NAD and a donor BLE, such that the donor NAD of the donor vehicle communicates with the centralized location on behalf of the recipient vehicle.

Abstract: A method of tracking objects relative to a vehicle. The method includes identifying a route object list associated with a predetermined vehicle route. The route object list includes a list of objects to be taken on the vehicle for the predetermined vehicle route. At least one object associated with the vehicle with at least one sensor on the vehicle is identified to determine a current object list for the vehicle. The current object list is compared to the route object list associated with the predetermined route to identify at least one missing object from the current object list when compared to the route object list. A notification is provided to a user of the at least one missing object.

Abstract: A method for controlling a telecommunications system of a vehicle, the system including a mobile telecommunications module embedded in the vehicle, includes determining whether the embedded mobile telecommunications module is better able to communicate with a mobile telecommunications network than is a portable mobile telecommunications device located in the vehicle, using one or more criteria. If the embedded mobile telecommunications module is better able to communicate with a mobile telecommunications network than is the portable mobile telecommunications device based on the one or more criteria, a new call is placed with a mobile telecommunications network from the embedded mobile telecommunications module.

Abstract: A communication system for a vehicle includes a controller adapted to selectively execute an alternative periodic connectivity mode for communication between a user of the vehicle and a remote assistance unit. The vehicle is not connected to a wireless plan. The controller has a processor and tangible, non-transitory memory on which instructions are recorded. The alternative periodic connectivity mode is activated based in part on at least one automatic trigger and/or a request from the user. The controller is adapted to assign a distinct identifier to the vehicle during execution of the alternative periodic connectivity mode. The distinct identifier is defined by a plurality of parameters, including a connection time interval, an internet protocol address range and a host port. The internet protocol address range and the host port may be dynamically configured to remain disengaged unless given a system clearance.

Abstract: A process and system to detect and provide notification of a potential effect of a thermal event related to a vehicle and a process for updating thermal event probability of a specific area based on an effect of a vehicle are provided. Identifying potential vehicle thermal events and determining their potential effect in order to provide information related to the risk to both vehicle occupants and the proper authorities facilitates providing alerts and possible evacuation routes, and facilitates authorities providing the proper response. A vehicle is identified and information related to the identified vehicle, as well as information related to an area and an existing thermal event, are obtained and probability of a thermal event starting or potential spread of an existing thermal event is determined based on the obtained information and the potential is addressed before a thermal event starts or an existing thermal event spreads.
