Abstract: A method and a system can generate a representation of a working area of an autonomous lawn mower. The system can include an autonomous lawn mower and a base station, and a boundary wire forming a closed loop which can be connected with the base station. The lawn mower and the base station interact such that the lawn mower can determine whether it is in its home position, a predetermined position that is taken when the mower returns to the base station. The lawn mower further includes a memory, for storing values from a movement sensor. A trajectory is generated based on the values, wherein a processor is configured to calculate an error between the position and orientation according to the trajectory and the home position. This total position error and total orientation error is then used to correct the position and corresponding orientations of the trajectory.

Abstract: A parking support ECU 10 detects a parking area based on a camera image acquired by cameras 20A through 20D for photographing a surrounding area of an own vehicle. The ECU displays a parking completed location to superimpose the parking completed location on the parking surrounding area. The parking completed location is a location of the own vehicle when parking to the parking area is completed. In the case where an obstacle having a height equal to or greater than a first threshold height H1th is present in the parking area, the ECU extrapolates, as the parking completed location, a location obtained by moving a normally completed location in an entering direction of the parking area by a specific distance which is determined based on a location of the obstacle. The normally completed location is the parking completed location when no obstacle is present in the parking area.

Abstract: A drive force control system configured to achieve a yaw rate required by a driver. A first target yaw rate is calculated based on a steering angle, and a second target yaw rate is calculated based on a steering torque. A first target torque of a right wheel and a second target torque of a left wheel are calculated based on a first difference between the first target yaw rate and an actual yaw rate. the first target torque is corrected based on the second target yaw rate and the actual yaw rate to obtain a third target torque, and the second target torque is corrected based on the second target yaw rate and the actual yaw rate to obtain a fourth target torque. A controller transmit signals to the drive unit to achieve the third target torque and to achieve the fourth target torque.

Abstract: A turn assist system includes a receiver of a primary vehicle that receives travel path data of a remote vehicle. A lane tracking module determines, based on the travel path data of the remote vehicle, whether the remote vehicle will enter an intersection in a nearest lane to the primary vehicle when the primary vehicle is at the intersection in a crossing lane and waiting to enter the intersection into the nearest lane. The determination includes determining whether the remote vehicle will change lanes. The nearest lane is a lane of a multilane road that is closest to the primary vehicle while located in the crossing lane. An alert module notifies a driver of the primary vehicle, in response to the lane tracking module determining that the remote vehicle will enter the intersection in the nearest lane, that it is unsafe to make a turn at the intersection.

Abstract: A vehicle travel control apparatus having a cruise control function allows a driver to perform an acceptance operation for rendering a set speed coincident with a speed limit when the speed limit is different from the set speed. When the drive can perform the acceptance operation, the vehicle travel control apparatus must inform the driver to that effect. In view of this, when the acceptance operation can be performed, an additional display is provided on a display unit to be located between a display representing the set speed and a display representing the speed limit, to thereby inform the driver that the driver can perform an operation relating to the set speed and the speed limit (i.e., can perform the acceptance operation).
