Abstract: A method for transforming bank-owned real property assets and/or bank held mortgage note receivables, suitable for refinancing, into a negotiable hybrid mortgage/asset-backed security. The method includes providing a bank mortgage at a below-market mortgage rate for purchase of the real property or refinance by the mortgagor. The bank mortgage, having a face value, is assigned to a secondary market buyer at a market price greater than 30% of the mortgage face value. The face value minus the market price defining mortgage note equity. Using the current bond price % of the mortgage face value, a negotiable government security or Non-governmental organization security is purchased by the secondary market buyer. The bank mortgage note and government security/non-governmental organization security are securitized into a single negotiable hybrid security suitable for selling or pledging to a central bank as collateral securing funds to recycle the process.

Abstract: An automatic driving method and device able to diagnose decisions is disclosed herein, wherein a vehicle body signal sensor detects vehicle body information, and an environment sensor detects traffic environment information. The information is transmitted to a central processor to generate a future driving track. The central processor examines whether the differences between the future driving track and the traffic environment information and the indexes of the future driving track meet tolerances. If no, the central processor transmits notification information to an automatic driving controller. If yes, the central processor transmits the future driving track to the automatic driving controller to make the automatic driving controller undertake automatic driving according to the future driving track. The present invention can automatically judge whether the future driving track generated by the central processor is within tolerances and determine whether the automatic driving track is safe.
