  • Publication number: 20250100433
    Abstract: The locking device includes a cam member rotatable about a second axis parallel to a first axis and a rotator for transmitting rotational force of an armrest to the cam member in a contact manner to control rotation of the cam member. When the armrest is rotated, the rotator is rotated about the first axis, and a locking tooth of the rotator is moved so as to pass through a locking position. The cam member is rotated in accordance with control operation of rotation of the rotator, and a locking recess in the cam member is moved so as to pass through the locking position. When the armrest is rotated to assume a locking posture, the locking tooth and the locking recess are moved to the locking position, and the locking tooth is inserted into the locking recess.

  • Publication number: 20230322242
    Abstract: An autonomous driving control apparatus requests information associated with a plurality of parts of an autonomous vehicle from an external electronic device and calculates a fault rate for each of the plurality of parts using the information associated with the plurality of parts. The apparatus identifies that a first fault rate corresponding to a first part among the calculated fault rates is greater than or equal to a specified first value and calculates a first failure rate at which the first part causes a failure of the autonomous vehicle using the first fault rate. The apparatus stores the first fault rate and information associated with the first part in storage and stops performing a function associated with the first part or stops performing the entire autonomous driving function of the autonomous vehicle after a fault or a failure of the autonomous vehicle occurs.
