Abstract:
A vehicle includes a plurality of sensors configured to detect objects in a plurality of zones adjacent the vehicle, and a controller. The controller is programmed to, in response to the vehicle approaching a path defining a next turn of a predefined navigational route and a vehicle being detected in a predefined subset of the zones selected to be on a same side of the vehicle as a direction of the turn, generate a collision alert.
Abstract:
A system includes a processor configured to display one or more vehicle camera images viewed by one or more vehicle cameras, on a vehicle display in response to a configuration request. The processor is also configured to capture one or more images upon user selection and store the images and corresponding user selected vehicle state data designating when the captured images should be used for an alert comparison. The same or a similar system can also utilize vehicle sensors in the same or similar manners.
Abstract:
A system includes a processor configured to wirelessly instruct fuel dispensation initiation over a direct wireless connection between a vehicle and a refueling truck, responsive to a wireless request made by the refueling truck, the request including a valid token and a refueling truck MAC ID with which the wireless connection is established.
Abstract:
A vehicle may include a plurality of antennas each associated with a different radio frequency; and a modem including a radio-frequency transceiver and an antenna control processor configured to selectively connect a selected one or more of the plurality of antennas having a radio frequency matching at least one frequency associated with a desired service provider to the transceiver. The vehicle may also determine whether a service-provider-recommended alternate frequency is available, responsive to service provider signal strength being below a predefined signal strength; and if so, direct the modem to switch to an antenna associated with the alternate frequency, and otherwise, cycle to a next available antenna frequency.
Abstract:
An item previously obtained along the route is identified. A location on the route associated with the item is identified. A message is sent to the location to obtain the item. A vehicle component is actuated to move the vehicle to the location. A prompt is sent to the user for options to add a second item or cancel an order.

Abstract:
Methods and apparatus to determine a predicted wait time at a commercial point-of-interest for an estimated time-of-arrival are disclosed. An example method includes determining an estimated time-of-arrival of a vehicle at a commercial point-of-interest and obtaining current wait-time data and historical wait-time data for the estimated time-of-arrival for the commercial point-of-interest. The example method includes determining, via a processor, a predicted wait time for the estimated time-of-arrival based on the current wait-time data and the historical wait-time data and communicating the predicted wait time to a user interface of the vehicle.
Abstract:
An illustrative exemplary system includes a processor configured to send a vehicle health report to a ride-sharing matching system, in response to a request from the matching system, the report confirming that a vehicle meets minimum standards specified in the request after determining that the standards are met by the vehicle.
Abstract:
A non-transitory computer readable storable medium, storing instruction that, when executed by a processor, configure the processor to establish a communication connection with a vehicle navigation system. The processor may receive graphical moving map data from the navigation system at a primary interface. The processor may stream the graphical moving map data to a vehicle dash display and update the vehicle dash display based on the graphical moving map data. The processor may output the graphical moving map data at the vehicle dash display.
