The processor is further configured to present the explanatory information via a vehicle display. Also, the processor is configured to present a plurality of options for further action with the explanatory information and, upon selection of one of the options, take further steps in accordance with the selection option.

Abstract: An appliance is provided. The appliance includes a cellulose-based insulator. The cellulose-based insulator has a basis weight of 80 g/m2 to 500 g/m2 and an airflow resistance of 500 mks rayls to 2,500 mks rayls. The cellulose-based insulator attenuates low frequency noise and exhibits excellent fire resistance.

Abstract: Data elements are identified, from a diagnostic request received from a remote server, to collect from controllers of the vehicle. The data elements are captured for inclusion in a diagnostic data message, responsive to receipt of the diagnostic request to allow the data elements to be collected without approval of the diagnostic request. The data elements are stored to the data storage. The remote server is queried for an approval status of the diagnostic request. Responsive to the approval status specifying that the diagnostic request is approved, the diagnostic data message is sent to the server. Responsive to the approval status failing to specify within a predefined time period that the diagnostic request is approved, the data elements are discarded from the data storage to maintain data privacy for the diagnostic request upon condition that the diagnostic request is not approved.

Abstract: A system includes a memory storing a battery profile corresponding to a battery identifier of a high-voltage battery of a vehicle and a processor. The processor is programmed to periodically send the battery profile to a server, and, responsive to detecting a change in the battery identifier, request the server to send a battery profile corresponding to the battery identifier as changed.

Abstract: A system includes a test environment and a processor. The processor is programmed to perform, on the test environment, a diagnostic request specifying a plurality of elements of information, responsive to receipt of a successful result of the diagnostic request from the test environment within a predefined timeout period, approve the diagnostic request for execution by fleet vehicles, and otherwise, retest the diagnostic request as a plurality of requests.

Abstract: An acoustic insulator is provided. The acoustic insulator includes a corrugated layer and a facer layer. At least one of the corrugated layer or the facer layer is an acoustic paper having a basis weight of 32 g/m2 to 540 g/m2 and an airflow resistance of 500 mks rayls to 2,500 mks rayls. The acoustic insulator is effective for attenuating low frequency noise and exhibits excellent fire resistance.

Abstract: A system includes a wireless transceiver providing access to primary and secondary hotspot in-vehicle networks and a vehicle processor. The vehicle processor monitors data usage on the secondary hotspot network, and, responsive to the data usage exceeding a predefined data limit, throttles a data transfer rate of the secondary hotspot network in a predefined manner, while leaving the primary hotspot network unconstrained.

Abstract: Methods and systems for operating a hybrid vehicle that includes an internal combustion engine, an electric machine, and a transmission are described. In one example, various vehicle operating modes may be entered from a baseline vehicle operating mode and the vehicle operating modes may revert back to the baseline vehicle operating mode in a plurality of stages so that returning to the baseline operating mode may be less noticeable to vehicle occupants.

Abstract: A system includes a memory storing diagnostic data and survey requirements indicating a survey question and vehicles to receive the survey question. A processor is programmed to identify vehicles that match the survey requirements, send a survey question for the identified vehicles to be answered by vehicle occupants, receive answer to the question from the vehicles, and annotate the diagnostic data with to the answer.

Abstract: A processor of a vehicle is programmed to send a message to a mobile device connected to the processor to request an application permissions update for the vehicle from a remote server, responsive to the vehicle lacking application permissions for a vehicle-enabled mobile application executed by a mobile device. The processor is further programmed to receive, from the server, the application permissions update including both the application permissions and a diagnostic request to receive data from the vehicle.

Abstract: From diagnostic configurations, individual data elements and a frequency for collection of each data element including removing redundant collection of data elements are identified. Diagnostic data from the vehicle in accordance with the identification are periodically collected. The diagnostic data is sent to the server with instructions that specify each data element in the diagnostic data and for which configurations each data element in the diagnostic data is required.

Abstract: A server includes a processor, programmed to responsive to receiving a first message indicative of detection of a flying object from a first vehicle, notify a second vehicle to detect the flying object, responsive to receiving a second message indicative of detection of the flying object from the second vehicle, calculate a location including a coordinate and an altitude of the flying object using the first message and the second message, and send a report including the location of the flying object to a predefined entity, wherein the first message includes a location of the first vehicle, a first time stamp, and a first angle of the object captured by a first camera against the horizon, and the second message includes a location of the second vehicle, a second time stamp, and a second angle of the object captured by a second camera against the horizon.

Abstract: A system includes a wireless transceiver providing access to primary and secondary hotspot in-vehicle networks and a vehicle processor. The vehicle processor monitors data usage on the secondary hotspot network, and, responsive to the data usage exceeding a predefined data limit, throttles a data transfer rate of the secondary hotspot network in a predefined manner, while leaving the primary hotspot network unconstrained.

Abstract: Diagnostic requirements specifying vehicle data requirements are received from requester devices. Vehicles and time periods for collection of diagnostic data from the vehicles are identified from the diagnostic requirements. The diagnostic data is periodically collected from the vehicles in accordance with the identification. The diagnostic data is compiled to create compiled data conforming to the diagnostic requirements.
