    Abstract: A security system that uses an automated vehicle to patrol, for example, a neighborhood includes a host-vehicle, a perception-sensor, and a controller. The host-vehicle is operable to patrol a neighborhood without an occupant in the host-vehicle. The perception-sensor is mounted on the host-vehicle. The perception-sensor is operable to detect a situation in a neighborhood. The controller is in communication with the perception-sensor. The controller is configured to report when the situation is a violation of rules of the neighborhood.

    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 navigation system for an automated vehicle includes an object-detector, a first-map, a second-map, and a controller. The object-detector indicates relative-positions of a plurality of objects proximate to the host-vehicle. The first-map indicates a first-object and a second-object detected by the object-detector. The second-map is different from the first-map. The second-map indicates the first-object and the second-object. The controller is in communication with the object-detector, the first-map, and the second-map. The controller is configured to determine a first-coordinate of the host-vehicle on the first-map based on the relative-positions of the first-object and the second-object, determine a second-coordinate of the host-vehicle on the second-map based on the relative-positions of the first-object and the second-object, and align the first-map and the second-map based on the first-coordinate, the second-coordinate, and the relative-positions of the first-object and the second-object.

    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 map-data collection system for mapping an area includes a first sensor, a receiver, and a controller-circuit. The first-sensor is for installation on a first-vehicle. The first-sensor is configured to gather perception-data of an area from a first-perspective. The receiver is for installation on the first-vehicle. The receiver is configured to receive perception-data gathered by a second-sensor mounted on a second-vehicle proximate to the first-vehicle. The second-sensor is configured to gather perception-data of the area from a second-perspective different from the first-perspective. The controller-circuit is in communication with the first-sensor and the receiver. The controller-circuit is configured to determine composite-data in accordance with the perception-data from the first-sensor on the first-vehicle and the perception-data from the second-sensor on the second-vehicle. Optionally, the first-vehicle may communicate with the second-vehicle in a manner effective to control the relative-position of the first-vehicle and the second-vehicle while the perception-date is being collected.

    Abstract: A virtual-barrier system that defines a keep-out-zone for vehicles to avoid includes a transmitter, a location-detector, and a controller. The transmitter is configured to broadcast information regarding a keep-out-zone. The location-detector is configured to indicate a location of the transmitter. The controller is in communication with the transmitter and the location-detector. The controller is configured to determine boundaries of the keep-out-zone in accordance with the location, and operate the transmitter to broadcast coordinates of the boundaries of the keep-out-zone.
