    Abstract: A simulated-attribute guidance system for an automated vehicle includes a location-device, a digital-map, and a controller. The location-device indicates a location of a host-vehicle. The digital-map indicates a position of a simulated-attribute proximate to the location of the host-vehicle. The controller is in communication with the location-device and the digital-map. The controller is configured to operate the host-vehicle in accordance with the simulated-attribute.

    Abstract: A guidance system for automated vehicles includes a lead-vehicle on a travel-lane of a roadway. The lead-vehicle is equipped with a transmitter that broadcasts a guidance-message indicative of when the lead-vehicle intends to discontinue following the travel-lane presently traveled by the lead-vehicle. The system includes also includes a following-vehicle equipped with a receiver that receives the guidance-message. The following-vehicle follows the lead-vehicle until the guidance-message is received.

    Abstract: A safe-exit system for safety protection of a passenger exiting an automated vehicle includes an observation-device, a lock-device, and a controller. The observation-device detects a potential-threat to a passenger of a host-vehicle. The lock-device is operable to lock a door of the host-vehicle. The controller is in communication with the observation-device and the lock-device. The controller is configured to determine a safety-index based on the potential-threat, and operate the lock-device to lock the door when the safety-index is less than a safety-threshold. Instead of the lock-device, the system may include a notification-device operable to convey a safety-alert to the person. The controller is in communication with the observation-device and the transmitter. In this system the controller is configured to determine a safety-index based on the potential-threat, and operate the notification-device to communicate the safety-alert to the person when the safety-index is less than a safety-threshold.

    Abstract: An illustrative example embodiment of a system for controlling a vehicle includes at least one sensor configured to detect at least one localization reference and at least one processor configured to determine a location of the vehicle with a first precision based on an indication from the at least one sensor while the vehicle is traveling in a first lane of a roadway. The processor is configured to determine that at least one characteristic of the first precision is below a threshold and, based on the at least one characteristic being below the threshold, maneuver the vehicle to a second lane of the roadway.

    Abstract: A control system for an automated vehicle includes a receiver, an alert-device, and a controller-circuit. The receiver is configured to receive a report of a takeover-event broadcast by another-vehicle at a location, said takeover-event characterized by an other-operator of the other-vehicle engaging a manual-mode of operation of the other-vehicle at the location while the other-vehicle was being operated in an automated-mode. The alert-device is operable to notify a host-operator of a host-vehicle. The controller-circuit is in communication with the receiver and the alert-device. The controller-circuit is configured to, in response to a determination that the host-vehicle is approaching the location, operate the alert-device to notify the host-operator of the host-vehicle about the takeover-event by the other-operator of the other-vehicle at the location.

    Abstract: A method of operating as object indicator module includes capturing at least one image, said captured image covers at least a portion of an environment of a subject, determining a location of an object relative to the environment of the subject, in response to determining the location of the object, determining modifications of the at least one captured image to generate a modified image that indicates the location of the object relative to the environment, and causing the modified image to be presented on at least one display.
