    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: Systems and methods are disclosed for improving acceleration performance of an electric vehicle that includes an electric motor for propulsion. An exemplary system may include an inverter configured to drive the electric motor. The inverter may include at least one power electronic device. The system may also include a torque capability controller. The torque capability controller may be configured to receive information indicative of a selection between a first mode and a second mode. The second mode may correspond to a higher torque to be output by the electric motor than the first mode. The torque capability controller may also be configured to apply a switching frequency to the at least one power electronic device. The switching frequency may have a lower value when the received information indicates the selection of the second mode than when the received information indicates the selection of the first mode.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure can provide for secure communication in a vehicle network by distinguishing among communications at different layers of the vehicle network and using different security levels depending on the network layer. For example, a communication between different electronic control units (ECUs) in the same domain (e.g., two ECUs in the powertrain domain) may not need as much as security as a communication that originates from an ECU in a different domain (e.g., the chassis domain) or from a device outside the vehicle. This can allow for increased security where compromise is a greater possibility, such as when communications originate from outside the vehicle, and decreased security where comprise is a lesser possibility and performance is a greater concern, such as communications between ECUs within the vehicle and/or in the same domain.
