Abstract: Systems, vehicles, and methods for creating a vehicle network. A system includes a wireless transceiver of a master vehicle configured to broadcast a connectivity signal. The system further includes a wireless transceiver of a follower vehicle configured to receive the connectivity signal to wirelessly link the follower vehicle to the master vehicle. The wireless transceiver of the follower vehicle is further configured to transmit vehicle identifying information to the master vehicle upon the follower vehicle being linked to the master vehicle. The system further includes a remote server configured to receive the vehicle identifying information of the follower vehicle from the master vehicle and a vehicle identifying information of the master vehicle from the master vehicle to create a vehicle group. The vehicle group includes the master vehicle and the follower vehicle to enable data exchange within the vehicle group.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining features in a vehicle. The interior of the vehicle can be scanned with a camera of a mobile device to locate one or more symbols or shapes within the interior. The one or more symbols or shapes can be processed using one or more machine learning models to obtain data associated with the one or more symbols or shapes. The data associated with the one or more symbols or shapes can be displayed to a driver of the vehicle.

Abstract: A method for a deployable power running board of a vehicle is provided. The method includes receiving sensor data from the vehicle, the sensor data indicating a distance between the power running board and an object, an approaching angle of the object approaching the power running board, and/or a vehicle position status, calculating a distance and/or speed of deployment or retraction of the power running board based on the sensor data, and deploying or retracting the power running board based on the calculated distance and/or speed of deployment or retraction.

Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of enabling a software portion of a vehicle, based on an operation of the vehicle and enabling another software portion of the vehicle, based on a further operation of the vehicle. The software portion and the other software portion alter the operation of the vehicle in response to the other software portion being operated for an amount of time.

Abstract: A vehicle is provided that includes a cruise control deactivation system. The system includes a cruise control system, and a user control that, when activated, commands deactivation of the cruise control system. The system also includes a processor configured to permit or override the commanded deactivation of the cruise control system while the vehicle is moving, based on at least one criterion. Criteria may include whether or not a first sensor detects a foot of a driver of the vehicle on an accelerator pedal of the vehicle, and whether or not a first computation indicates that the deactivation of the cruise control system will cause a collision with a second vehicle located behind the vehicle.

Abstract: A method for a vehicle having a main battery and a reserve energy storage device is provided. The method includes determining occurrence of a triggering event associated with the vehicle, and transferring power from the main battery to the reserve energy storage device in response to the triggering event to render the vehicle not drivable.

Abstract: A control system includes at least one temperature sensor positioned in an interior of a vehicle, an imaging device positioned at a footwell of the vehicle, and a controller communicatively coupled to the temperature sensor and the imaging device. The controller is configured to: determine an interior temperature from a temperature signal received from the temperature sensor, determine a footwear type from image data received from the imaging device, and direct air to the footwell when the footwear type is a predetermined footwear type and the interior temperature exceeds a threshold value.

Abstract: A method is provided. The method includes determining a vehicle is stolen, displaying on a display an image indicating the vehicle is stolen upon determining the vehicle is stolen. The image provides identification information of the vehicle. The method further includes executing a theft prevention measure including rendering the vehicle not drivable upon determining the vehicle is stolen.

Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of receiving, by a transport, an opportunity to perform an action, where the opportunity provides an additional result to the transport and responsive to performing the action, receiving, by the transport, the additional result, where the additional result is proportional to a level of the action performed.

Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of monitoring, by a transport exterior a location, an exchange performed in an interior of the location by a recent occupant of the transport, and completing, by the transport, the exchange.

Abstract: A health advisory alert system for a vehicle is presented. A controller may determine whether a vehicle occupant is preparing to exit the vehicle. Upon determination that the vehicle occupant is preparing to exit the vehicle, the controller may determine a location of the vehicle, determine a health advisory metric based on the location of the vehicle, and determine whether personal protective equipment should be worn based on the health advisory metric. Upon determination that personal protective equipment should be worn, the controller may output a notification to the vehicle occupant indicating that personal protective equipment should be worn.

Abstract: A bracket for a vehicle blind spot monitor. The bracket can have upper and bottom members that are spaced apart from each other and connected by a side member. The upper, bottom and side members of the bracket can also form an opening where a blind spot monitor can be located. The bottom member can have a debris-blocking flange that protects or shields the outer radar surface from debris such as rocks, sand, etc., that are thrown up from a road surface towards the blind spot monitor. The bracket can have a plurality of protrusions to guide the blind spot monitor into the bracket opening. The bracket additionally features clips that affix the blind spot monitor to the bracket prior to installation on the vehicle.
