Abstract: A method of for authenticating a mobile device for operating a vehicle may include receiving, by a receiver of the vehicle, an operation request from the mobile device to actuate an operation of the vehicle and generating, by a controller of the vehicle, a locally-perceivable signal indicative of a passcode granting a connection with the mobile device, in response to the received operation request. The method may further include receiving, by the receiver of the vehicle, information relating to the passcode from the mobile device, and establishing the connection with the mobile device for actuating the operation of the vehicle if the received information is authenticated.

Abstract: A control system is disclosed for enhancing the visibility of a driver of a vehicle. The control system may include a sensor configured to generate a signal indicative of a weight placed on a passenger seat and at least one motor configured to adjust a position of the passenger seat. The control system may also include a controller in communication with the sensor and the at least one motor. The controller may be configured to receive the signal from the sensor, determine that the passenger seat is unoccupied based on the signal, and automatically generate a command signal directed to the at least one motor to adjust the passenger seat to a prospective position.

Abstract: A vehicle configured to operate in a remote access mode is disclosed. In some examples, a camera at the exterior of the vehicle can capture one or more images of its surroundings, including the face of a person attempting to access the vehicle. A primary operator (e.g., owner or lessee) of the vehicle can receive the one or more images at a mobile device and send an input, via a user interface of the mobile device, to grant or deny access to the vehicle. In response to wirelessly receiving the input to allow access, the vehicle can be unlocked and started in the remote access mode. In some examples, the remote access mode can have a set of permissions and/or restrictions associated therewith.

Abstract: A vehicle is disclosed. The vehicle includes a first indicator light associated with a first function or a first state of the vehicle (e.g., a brake light), and circuitry coupled to the first indicator light. The circuitry is configured to cause the first indicator light to emit light when the vehicle is performing the first function or is operating in the first state, and detect an amount of light incident on the first indicator light. Thus, the indicator light can be used to detect incoming light to perform various vehicle functions (e.g., automatically dimming mirrors based on the incoming light) without the need for a dedicated light sensor.

Abstract: A system that performs a method is disclosed. At a first time, characteristics about an area surrounding a vehicle are determined using a first sensing grid including first sensing cells of a first size. At a second time, after the first time, whether sensing cell size data satisfies sensing cell size change criteria is determined. In response to the determination: in accordance with a determination that the sensing cell size data satisfies the sensing cell size change criteria, characteristics about the area surrounding the vehicle are determined using a second sensing grid including second sensing cells of a second size, different from the first size. In accordance with a determination that the sensing cell size data does not satisfy the sensing cell size change criteria, characteristics about the area surrounding the vehicle are determined using the first sensing grid including the first sensing cells of the first size.

Abstract: A battery level management system for an electric vehicle during a powered down and uncharged period is disclosed. A current output from a low voltage battery of the electric vehicle being above a threshold can be sensed to wake up a control unit associated with the low voltage battery without waking up or fully powering other control units. Upon waking up, the control unit associated with the low voltage battery can start monitoring the current output from the low voltage battery and controlling the power drawn from the low voltage battery by enabling or disabling other control units to manage the remaining low voltage battery power level.

Abstract: In one aspect, an apparatus includes a motor and inverter configured to provide input power to the motor. The apparatus may also include a data store comprising at least one entry including a first torque command, a first motor speed, and a first DC voltage value, where the first torque command and the first motor speed and the first DC voltage value are associated with a first current output and a processor. The processor receives a torque input, a DC voltage input, and a motor speed input and identifies the current output associated with the torque input, the DC voltage input, and the motor speed input based on another motor speed different than the motor speed input and another DC voltage different than the DC voltage input and the motor speed input, and output the determined current output to cause the inverter to provide the input power to the motor.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are battery systems for electric vehicles. An electric vehicle may include a first battery. The first battery may be configured to power various low voltage systems. For example, the first battery may provide the power to start the vehicle. The vehicle may include a second battery. The second battery may be configured to power one or more electric motors for propelling the vehicle. The first battery may supply power necessary to engage and/or access the power stored in the second battery. The first battery may include a heater to ensure that the first battery can supply ample power to initiate a start sequence in low temperatures.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a method of safely and automatically navigating in the presence of emergency vehicles. A first vehicle may receive, via communication hardware, a message indicating presence of the emergency vehicle. Such a message may originate from the emergency vehicle itself and/or from infrastructure such as a smart traffic light that can sense the presence of the emergency vehicle. The first vehicle may then determine the relative location of the emergency vehicle and automatically respond appropriately by determining a safe trajectory and navigating according to that trajectory until the emergency vehicle is out of range. In some examples, the first vehicle may detect the presence of an emergency vehicle using on-board sensors such as distance measuring sensors, depth sensors, and cameras, in addition to receiving a message via communication hardware.
