  • Patent number: 11747830
    Abstract: A system and method that function to generate an updated vehicle state based on a previous vehicle state and a set of sensor measurements. The previous vehicle state can be selected from a set of redundant prior vehicle state candidates. The system and method can optionally detect and correct for sensor measurement faults or failures, prior to updating the vehicle state.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11067152
    Abstract: A drive device includes a drive machine, such as an electric motor, gear reduction planetary gear sets, and a differential. One of the gear reduction planetary gear sets utilizes multi-step planetary gears. The differential is a spur gear differential. To reduce axial length, one of the gearwheels of each multi-step planetary gears axially overlaps with planetary gears of the spur gear differential.

  • Patent number: 10800243
    Abstract: An electromechanical drive assembly for a multitrack motor vehicle includes two electric motors, each with an associated reduction gear. The first and the second electric motor are arranged adjacent to one another and are, aligned transversely to the longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle. The first and the second reduction gear are connected on oppositely facing sides of the motors.
