Abstract: A system may detect a sound associated with a vehicle. The sound may be detected using a set of one or more microphones. The system may use a machine learning model to detect at least one of a squeak or a rattle based on the sound. The machine learning model may be trained using a plurality of sounds emitted in relation to one or more vehicles. The system may determine, based on detecting at least one of the squeak or the rattle, a location of the vehicle associated with at least one of the squeak or the rattle. In some implementations, the location may be determined based on detecting different sound levels between a first microphone and a second microphone, or detecting a time difference between the first and the second microphone, or by correlating the sound to a sound signature associated with a part of the vehicle.

Abstract: A method of displaying road information in a host vehicle includes receiving with the host vehicle the road information acquired by another vehicle. The road information includes information about a portion of a road ahead of a current portion of the road upon which the host vehicle is traveling. An information presentation time is determined at which the road information is configured to be presented in the host vehicle. The road information is presented in the host vehicle at the determined information presentation time.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a user input interface, an electronic display device and a processor. The user input interface is configured to allow a user to input one or more burden conditions of the user. The electronic display device is positioned in an interior compartment of the vehicle. The processor is programmed to control the electronic display device to display one or more route selections, the one or more route selections being based on the burden conditions.

Abstract: A vehicle includes an on-hoard satellite navigation device, a telematics control unit, a non-transitory computer readable medium, and a processor. The on-board satellite navigation device is in communication with a global positioning system unit to acquire real-time information regarding conditions near the vehicle's vicinity, The telematics control unit is in wireless communications to a cloud services or a vehicle network to upload and receive crowdsourced information regarding conditions near the vehicle's vicinity. The non-transitory computer readable medium stores predetermined information regarding conditions near the vehicle vicinity.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a vehicle pedal, a vehicle engine and an electronic control unit. The vehicle engine generates a torque output of the vehicle in accordance with an operation of the vehicle pedal. The electronic control unit controls the vehicle pedal between a normal state, an increased resistance state and a decreased resistance state. The vehicle pedal is less sensitive to driver pressure in the increased resistance state. The vehicle pedal is more sensitive to driver pressure in the decreased resistance state.

Abstract: A vehicle includes an on-board satellite navigation device, a telematics control unit, a non-transitory computer readable medium, an electronic display device, and a processor. The on-board satellite navigation device is in communication with a global positioning system unit to acquire real-time information regarding conditions near the vehicle's vicinity. The telematics control unit is in wireless communications to at least one of a cloud services and a vehicle network to upload and receive crowdsourced information regarding conditions near the vehicle's vicinity. The non-transitory computer readable medium stores predetermined information regarding conditions near the vehicle vicinity. The processor is programmed to control the electronic display device to display notification data regarding the vehicle vicinity based on one or more of the real-time information, the crowdsourced information and the predetermined information.

Abstract: An automatic driver assist system for a vehicle comprising a first sensor, a second sensor, and a controller. The first sensor is configured to detect driver data relating to a current state of a driver of the vehicle. The second sensor is configured to detect external environment data relating to an external environment of the vehicle. The controller is configured to activate one of a plurality of vehicle drive assist system components based on the driver data and on the external environment data.
