Abstract: Technical solutions are described for autonomously monitoring health of a vehicle, such as a car, a truck and so on. An example computer-implemented method includes receiving sensor data of the vehicle. For example, the sensor data includes vibration data and microphone data. The vibration data measures vibration experienced by an occupant of the vehicle. The microphone data measures noises experienced by the occupant, including noises emanated by the vehicle. The method further includes accessing a predetermined performance data of the vehicle and determining a difference in the received sensor data and the predetermined performance data. The method further includes transmitting a notification of condition of the vehicle in response to the difference surpassing a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A method for controlling an extended-range electric vehicle including an internal combustion engine and an electronic sound enhancement system includes selecting a preferred engine order equalization, said preferred engine order equalization achieving a desired engine sound in a passenger compartment of the vehicle responsive to an operator input to an accelerator pedal and decoupled from actual engine operation responsive to a state of charge (SOC) of a propulsion battery. Sound is generated in the passenger compartment by the electronic sound enhancement system responsive to the preferred engine order equalization.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and vehicles are provided for calibrating a braking system of a vehicle. The braking system has an electric motor, a pump, and a hydraulic accumulator. A speed of the vehicle is obtained, and a pressure within the hydraulic accumulator is measured. The pump is operated via an electric motor to provide hydraulic pressure to the hydraulic accumulator based on the speed of the vehicle and the measure of pressure of the hydraulic accumulator.
