Abstract: A method for controlling a vehicle including a steering-by-wire (SBW) system includes determining whether an abnormality has occurred in the SBW system; in response to determining an abnormality has occurred at the SBW system, operating a rear wheel steering system; applying a braking force to a first front wheel and a second front wheel disposed on a front side of the vehicle and applying a driving force to a first rear wheel and a second rear wheel disposed on the rear side of the vehicle; and in response to determining a turning radius of the vehicle by the rear wheel steering system does not satisfy a required turning radius input to a steering wheel, applying an additional braking force to the first front wheel and the second front wheel.

Abstract: Human drivers generally cannot plan a collision evasion maneuver in the brief interval before impact, other than simply slamming on the brakes and hoping for the best. Often the collision could have been avoided by swerving or other sequence of actions. Therefore, improved collision avoidance and mitigation procedures are disclosed, based on a well-trained artificial intelligence (AI) model that takes over the accelerator, brake, and steering in an emergency. With fast electronic reflexes and AI-based computational power, the AI model can find a more effective avoidance maneuver, or at least an action that would minimize the harm (for example, by swerving to miss the passenger compartment). The AI model can then implement the sequence instantly, without fear or hesitation. The result—fewer collisions and less fatality on our highways.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a method for slip control of a vehicle wheel driven via an electric drive. The method includes at least the following steps: driving the electric drive of the vehicle wheel using an actual drive torque in a torque control in a torque control step, determining a wheel speed and a wheel slip of the vehicle wheel and evaluating the wheel slip by way of an instability criterion as to whether an instability exists, upon recognizing an instability, direct or indirect transition in a slip control of the wheel slip to a setpoint slip by driving the electric drive, determining whether an end criterion for ending the slip control is satisfied; and, if the end criterion is satisfied, returning to the torque control in the torque control step.

Abstract: A first vehicle in traffic can use machine learning and artificial intelligence to detect an imminent collision with a second vehicle or other object. A well-trained AI algorithm can select a sequence of actions (braking, swerving, or accelerating—depending on the specific kinetics) to avoid the collision if possible, and to reduce or minimize the harm if unavoidable. With proper training, the AI model may also infer the intent and future actions of the second vehicle, as well as potential interference of other traffic agents. A good algorithm can also infer the intent of the driver of the first vehicle, for example based on prior driving habits. The AI algorithm may be implemented in a processor on the subject vehicle, potentially in communication with another processor at a fixed site such as a local access point or a central supercomputer. With super-fast AI solutions, lives will be saved!

Abstract: Vehicles can be operated according to an artificial intelligence model contained in an on-board processor. The AI model can analyze sensor data, such as visible or infrared images of traffic, and determine when a collision is possible, whether it has become imminent, and whether the collision is avoidable or unavoidable using sequences of accelerations, braking, and steering. The AI model can also select the most appropriate sequence of actions from a large plurality of calculated sequences to avoid the collision if avoidable, and to minimize the harm if unavoidable. The AI model can also cause a processor to actuate linkages connected to the throttle (or electric power control), brakes (or regenerative braking), and steering to implement the selected sequence of actions. Thus the collision can be avoided or mitigated by an ADAS system or a fully autonomous vehicle.

Abstract: An autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle can detect an imminent collision according to sensor data and responsively select an action or a sequence of actions to avoid the collision if avoidable, and to reduce or minimize the harm of the collision if unavoidable. An artificial intelligence model may be used to process the sensor data, detect the imminent collision, and select the collision avoidance action or actions, or the harm-reduction or harm-minimization action or actions. For example, when the collision is considered unavoidable, the vehicle may apply the brakes to reduce the vehicle's speed and therefore, the severity of the impact. When the collision is considered avoidable, the vehicle may automatically apply steering to avoid the potential collision, such as when the vehicle is departing a lane and may collide with a vehicle traveling in the same or opposite direction.

Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus executes a collision avoiding control of avoiding collision of an own vehicle with an object when a predetermined execution condition becomes satisfied. The collision avoiding control includes a steering control of changing a steering angle of the own vehicle and a braking force control of applying braking force to the own vehicle so as to realize a target deceleration. The vehicle control apparatus terminates the steering control and decreases the target deceleration at a first rate to terminate the braking force control when a predetermined steering termination condition that the collision has been avoided, becomes satisfied. The vehicle control apparatus terminates the steering control and decreases the target deceleration at a second rate to terminate the braking force control when a predetermined cancelation condition that a driver carries out a driving maneuver, becomes satisfied. The second rate is greater than the first rate.

Abstract: A driving support apparatus according to the invention estimates the position of a moving body by controlling a position estimation unit when the tracking-target moving body leaves a first area or a second area to enter a blind spot area and detects the position of the moving body by controlling a position detection unit when the moving body leaves the blind spot area to enter the first area or the second area. In this manner, the trajectory of the tracking-target moving body is calculated so that the trajectory of the moving body detected in the first area or the second area and the trajectory of the moving body estimated in the blind spot area are continuous to each other and driving support is executed based on the calculated trajectory of the tracking-target moving body.
