    Abstract: A method for decelerating a vehicle, a non-transitory computer-readable medium for performing the method, and reception apparatuses. The method includes monitoring a state of a driver of the vehicle, and causing a notification to be output based on the monitored state of the driver. The method further includes determining, by circuitry of an information processing apparatus and when operating in a manual operation mode, whether to cause the vehicle to decelerate after the notification is output. The vehicle is caused by the circuitry to decelerate based on the determination of whether to cause the vehicle to decelerate.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically limiting the road speed of a vehicle are provided herein. The method includes limiting the speed of the vehicle to a predetermined first speed under normal operating conditions. The method further includes selectively engaging an override condition for an activation interval responsive to an operator generated input. The override condition may be limited to a determined number of times in an activation assessment interval. During an activation interval of the override condition, the vehicle can exceed the predetermined first speed by a specified offset that defines a second speed greater than the first speed. The activation interval may be a period of time or a distance. The override condition is not available when the number of activations in the activation assessment interval exceeds a threshold value. The activation assessment interval may be defined by a period of time, a distance, an event or action, etc.

    Abstract: A reverse support apparatus comprises a storage device in which a forward path passed by a vehicle when the vehicle travels forward is stored, and a controller configured to be able to execute a reverse support control for the vehicle to travel backward along the forward path. The controller makes a suggestion to a driver of the vehicle to execute the reverse support control, when it is determined that a suggestion condition is satisfied based on a situation around the vehicle or a backward path passed by the vehicle when the vehicle travels backward. The controller executes the reverse support control when the driver consents the suggestion.

    Abstract: A vehicle control system may include a mode selector for enabling selection of an operating mode of the vehicle among a plurality of selectable operating modes, where at least one of the selectable operating modes includes an off-road driving assistance mode that controls propulsive torque and braking torque application when the off-road driving assistance mode is active. The system may further include a torque control module to generate both a propulsive torque request and a braking torque request based on a target speed set in association with the off-road driving assistance mode, a sensor network operably coupled to components of the vehicle to obtain tractive information associated with an operating context of the vehicle, and a controller operably coupled to the sensor network to receive the tractive information and modify operation of the torque control module responsive to the tractive information indicating a trigger event.

    Abstract: A mean of real-time accelerator pedal output of a vehicle that quantifies an extent to which an accelerator pedal has been pressed by a driver of the vehicle over a defined period of time is determined. Target mean accelerator pedal output for the vehicle is determined. Torque of the vehicle is changed. The torque is reduced when the mean of the real-time accelerator pedal output is lower than the target mean accelerator pedal output, and the torque is increased when the mean of the real-time accelerator pedal output is higher than the target mean accelerator pedal output.

    Abstract: Among other things, we describe techniques for estimating a speed profile for a proposed trajectory for a vehicle and operating the vehicle along the proposed trajectory according to the speed profile, including a method for: obtaining, by a planning circuit on a vehicle, a proposed trajectory for the vehicle in response to a driving scenario; obtaining, by the planning circuit, an estimated speed profile, and a confidence score, wherein the confidence score represents a similarity of the estimated speed profile to an actual speed profile that would be generated by a control circuit for the proposed trajectory; determining whether the confidence score meets a confidence threshold; and in accordance with a determination that the confidence score exceeds the confidence threshold, operating, by a control circuit on the vehicle, the vehicle along the proposed trajectory.

    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for vehicle feature assumption evaluation. In an aspect, an assumption associated a vehicle feature defines (i) at least one response by an attentive driver to at least one in-vehicle human-machine communications interface stimulus, (ii) timing information associated with at least one in-vehicle driver action, or (iii) a combination thereof. Behavior of attentive driver(s) is monitored, and used to calculate a confidence level associated with the assumption being valid based on the monitoring.

    Abstract: A configuration that decides whether or not a driver has alertness sufficient for manual driving by analyzing eye behaviors of the driver trying to solve a problem displayed on the display section is realized. It is made possible to decide whether or not the driver of a moving apparatus that can be driven in a driving mode that can be switched to automated driving and manual driving has alertness sufficient to return to manual driving on the basis of eye behaviors of the driver. An eye-behavior analyzing section that analyzes an eye behavior of the driver who observes a problem displayed on a display section and an alertness deciding section that decides alertness of the driver on the basis of a result of the analysis by the eye-behavior analyzing section are included. The alertness deciding section analyzes whether or not the driver executes an eye behavior such as a fixation or a microsaccade for solving the problem, and decides whether or not the driver has alertness sufficient to return to manual driving.
