If the route deviation score does not meet or exceed a predetermined deviation threshold associated with the navigation device, the shopping list and navigation instructions to the merchant location as an intermediary stop on the route are transmitted to the navigation device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for operating a steer-by-wire (SBW)-enabled vehicle backing a trailer. While operating the vehicle in a normal mode, an SBW system of the vehicle is configured to operate using a first steering ratio. Based on detecting that a trailer is attached to the vehicle, a trailer-optimized mode is initiated. While operating the vehicle in the trailer-optimized mode, a profile of the trailer is accessed to determine the dimensions of the trailer. The SBW system is adjusted to operate using a second steering ratio based on the dimensions of the trailer. Operating the SBW system using the second steering ratio results in turning of at least one wheel of the vehicle being less sensitive to turning of the steering wheel compared to using the first steering ratio.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for operating a steer-by-wire (SBW)-enabled vehicle comprising a steering wheel haptics system in a quiet mode or an amplified mode. At a first time, first driving conditions for the vehicle are detected. Based on detecting the first driving conditions, a quiet mode is enabled. While operating in the quiet mode, first feedback forces transmitted from wheels of the vehicle are detected. A steering wheel of the vehicle is actuated, using the steering wheel haptics system, using a softened version of the first feedback forces. At a second time, second driving conditions are detected. Based on detecting the second driving conditions, the quiet mode is automatically switched to an amplified mode. While operating in the amplified mode, second feedback forces transmitted from the wheels of the vehicle are detected. The steering wheel is actuated using an amplified version of the second feedback forces.

Abstract: The present application provides for mitigating motion ocular discomfort in live streaming media. In some embodiments, a media server performs a calibration for motion sensitivity for a user. For example, the media server may access calibration data based on receiving user feedback as to the level of comfort or discomfort (e.g., the user may select an emoji that corresponds with their level of comfort). The media server may then select a sensitivity setting for the user based on the feedback indicating the user experienced undesirable visuals in the video stream. The media server may, based on determining that visual characteristics of a first portion of the video stream correspond to a sensitivity setting for the user, cause a visual modification to be applied to the video stream to adjust the visual characteristics to mitigate the ocular discomfort.
