    摘要: The disclosure includes embodiments for providing conflict determination and mitigation for vehicle applications. A method according to some embodiments includes accepting a request to install a vehicle application in an onboard vehicle computer of a vehicle. The method includes retrieving a first conflict table from the vehicle application. The method includes merging the first conflict table with a table set that includes one or more second conflict tables for other vehicle applications installed in the onboard vehicle computer. The method includes analyzing the table set to identify whether activating the vehicle application will create a conflict between the vehicle application and at least one of the other vehicle applications. The method includes determining to activate the vehicle application based on the conflict not being identified.

    摘要: The disclosure includes embodiments for improving quality of service for a vehicular plug-and-play ecosystem. A method according to some embodiments includes receiving environment data describing an environmental condition of a vehicle sensor. The method includes determining a quality of service value for the vehicle sensor based on the environment data. The method includes determining a corrected sensor measurement for the vehicle sensor based on the quality of service value. In some embodiments, the vehicle sensor includes a non-transitory memory that stores digital data that describes the environmental condition and the quality of service value for the vehicle sensor when it operates in the environmental condition. In some embodiments, the quality of service value is a factor that corrects the sensor measurement of the vehicle sensor when it operates in the environmental condition.

    摘要: An autonomous driving apparatus executes an autonomous driving control of a vehicle. When an override occurs during the autonomous driving control, switching from the autonomous driving control to manual driving is executed. A first determination condition is for determining that the autonomous driving control can be resumed, when the driver is estimated to have a continued operation intention, which is an intention to continue the manual driving, after the switching from the autonomous driving control to the manual driving is executed. A second determination condition is for determining that the autonomous driving control can be resumed, when the driver is estimated not to have the continued operation intention after the switching from the autonomous driving control to the manual driving is executed. The first determination condition is less likely to be met than the second determination condition.

    摘要: A fuel tank comprises a circular column-shaped fuel tank body, a handle, and a lock mechanism. The circular column-shaped fuel tank body is provided so as to be capable of being detachably attached to a fuel-powered device. The handle is formed on one end side in a length direction of the fuel tank body. The lock mechanism is capable of switching between a locked state in which the fuel tank body cannot be removed from the fuel-powered device, and a lock-released state in which the locked state has been released, due to the fuel tank body being rotated in a circumferential direction in a state of being installed to the fuel-powered device.

    摘要: A driving assistance device that detects an object in a traveling direction of a vehicle and to assist avoiding a collision of the vehicle with the object, including: a decision unit that decides whether there is a possibility of the own vehicle colliding with the detected object; a creation unit that creates an action plan for the own vehicle to avoid colliding with the detected object; a transmission unit that transmits the action plan to another vehicle; a receiving unit that receives, from the other vehicle that received the action plan, a response including information on whether it is possible for the other vehicle to take an action to avoid colliding with the own vehicle; a determination unit that determines an action based on the action plan and the response from the other vehicle; and an execution unit that executes the action determined by the determination unit.

    摘要: A vehicle control system includes a limiter device, and a setting device to set an upper speed limit on the limiter device, based on speed limit values extracted from image information. The setting device includes a derivation unit to derive a condition to raise display priority for each speed limit value; an obtainment unit to obtain determination information for determining whether the condition is satisfied; a calculation unit to raise the display priority of the speed limit value that corresponds to the condition determined satisfied with the determination information, among the speed limit values extracted from the image information; a display control unit to display the speed limit values in descending order of the display priority; and a setting unit configured to set the upper speed limit on the limiter device, based on one of the displayed speed limit values, selected by an occupant of the vehicle.
