Abstract: A portable interface, comprising a wireless transceiver configured to emit a short-range wireless signal including an encrypted packet configured to prompt authorized autonomous vehicles to respond to the packet with identification and location data of the vehicles. The portable interface further includes a processor configured to cause the transceiver to emit the signal, and in response to receiving the identification and location data, prompt a notification to be output to a shortest-distance vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle component may operate in a plurality of connectionless functional states including a watchdog state in which the component broadcasts advertisements indicating presence of the vehicle component to personal devices; a notify state in which the component broadcasts cycles of advertisements indicating available features of the component; and a process command state in which the component broadcasts current feature state advertisements responsive to command advertisements received from the personal devices. A personal device may operate in a plurality of connectionless functional states including an acquire interface state in which the personal device collects information indicative of component functions based on non-connectable advertisements from in-vehicle components; a display interface state in which the personal device provides a user interface of controls based on information collected during the acquire interface state; and a process command state in which the device broadcasts command advertisements responsive to operator input to the user interface.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving a request from a mobile device to activate a recognition sequence. The method also includes transmitting a plurality of time-stamped recognition codes to the device, responsive to the request. The method further includes receiving an acknowledgement following transmission of a proper recognition code. The method also includes calculating a time-delay between transmission of the proper recognition code and acknowledgement receipt. The method additionally includes receiving a key-code from the device and comparing the key-code to a code exchanged with the device when the device was previously present within a vehicle. Further, the method includes measuring the received strength of multiple wireless signals successively received from the device and conditional on the time-delay being below a predefined threshold, verification of the key-code and the received signal strength of multiple wireless signals matching a predefined pattern of increasing signal strength, providing vehicle system access to the device.

Abstract: A personal device may perform a first triangulation using signal strength information of connections between the personal device and a plurality of in-vehicle components of a vehicle. A secured function request may be sent from the personal device to an access component of the vehicle when a location of the personal device is determined to be within the vehicle by the personal device. Signal strength information of the personal device may be forwarded to the access component from the plurality of in-vehicle components. The personal device may receive a response from the access component granting the secured function request when the forwarded signal strength information confirms the location of the second personal device as being within the vehicle.

Abstract: Vehicle trailer hitch systems may include integrated features for increasing the functionality of the vehicle. A bottle opener feature may be integrated as part of a hitch plate of the trailer hitch system. The integrated bottle opener feature is therefore conveniently packaged on the vehicle for use during outdoor social gatherings when the vehicle is stationary.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a battery, an electric machine, an electrical port, sensors, and a controller. The battery is configured to store electrical power. The electric machine is configured to receive electrical power from the battery to propel the vehicle. The electrical port is configured to receive an electrical connector of a charging station to initiate a charging operation of the battery. The sensors are configured to monitor an exterior of the vehicle. The controller is programmed to, in response to the sensors detecting an unidentified individual approaching the vehicle, eject the electrical connector from the electrical port or enable full operation of the vehicle.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for controlling a vehicle-to-home power supply and energy storage system in a manner that minimizes grid-based energy consumption without disrupting future usage of a vehicle of the system. A control system of the system may be configured to estimate a renewable energy generation of a local renewable energy system based on crowd sourced renewable energy generation information and weather information. The control module may be further configured to prepare a charging/discharging schedule and a vehicle operating schedule based on the estimated renewable energy generation of the local renewable energy system.

Abstract: An enforcement vehicle includes monitors an identified stopped vehicle using one or more sensors of the enforcement vehicle, to determine if any change to the stopped vehicle indicates a likelihood of escalation based on predefined escalation characteristics. The enforcement vehicle detects at least one escalation characteristic via the monitoring and automatically enacts a predefined vehicle reaction based on a predicted type of escalation determined from one or more detected at least one escalation characteristics.
