Abstract: In a method of inferring a vehicle state for control of a vehicle component based on the vehicle state inference, the vehicle may include a first electromechanical brake module operably coupled to first wheel-end brakes of a first wheel and a second electromechanical brake module operably coupled to second wheel-end brakes of a second wheel. The method may include receiving an indication of vehicle speed, receiving an indication of vehicle voltage supply to determine whether an event trigger transition is detected based on a change in the vehicle voltage supply, determining a communication state of at least one of the first and second electromechanical brake modules responsive to the event trigger transition being detected, where the communication state is one of a connected state or a disconnected state, and initiating a state inference operation based on the indication of vehicle speed and detection of the event trigger transition.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a controller, in communication with a remote server, that is configured to access, from the remote server, historical climate system and window data associated with a location and route of the vehicle. The controller is further configured to identify a geofence according to the historical climate system and window data, and responsive to the vehicle crossing the geofence, command cabin air recirculation.

Abstract: The vehicle system includes a position sensor programmed to output a distance signal representing a distance of a primary parked vehicle to a boundary. The vehicle system further includes a processor programmed to receive a parking request and determine a moving distance that is based at least in part on the distance to the boundary and an amount of space the primary parked vehicle requires to exit a parking space.

Abstract: Vehicles can be equipped with a computing device to determine two or more paths of available paths for the vehicle that each include a predicted impact with an object. The computing device can determine a time to impact, vehicle speed and direction and object speed and direction, and an object type. The computing device can also determine a best path of the two or more vehicle paths by determining damage severity based on time to impact, vehicle speed and direction and object speed and direction and control one or more of steering, propulsive torque and braking torque to pilot the vehicle on the best path based on the damage severity.

Abstract: A vehicle control system may include a brake module operably coupled to a braking system of the vehicle to provide a braking torque request to the braking system, a steering module operably coupled to a steering system of the vehicle to provide a steering input request to the steering system, a power supply, and a power management module. The power supply may be operably coupled to the brake module and the steering module to provide power to the brake module and the steering module. The power supply may have a power budget indicating a maximum power providable to the brake module and the steering module. The power management module may be operably coupled to one or more sensors to receive a power draw indication from one of the brake module or the steering module and control power draw of the other of the steering module or the brake module to maintain a combined power draw of the brake module and the steering module below the power budget.
