Abstract: The invention concerns a method for operating a brake back-up system (8) of a motor vehicle (2), with the steps: (S100) Reading in operating data (BD) of the motor vehicle (2), (S200) Evaluating the read-in operating data (BD) to identify malfunctions of a braking system of the motor vehicle (2), and (S300) Providing at least one actuation signal (AS, AS?) to influence components of a drive train of the motor vehicle (2).

Abstract: Enhancing situational awareness of an advanced driver assistance system in a host vehicle can be provided by acquiring, with an image sensor, an image data stream comprising a plurality of image frames. Analyzing A vision processor can analyze the image data stream to detect objects, shadows and/or lighting in the image frames. Recognizing A situation recognition engine can recognize at least one most probable traffic situation out of a set of predetermined traffic situations taking into account the detected objects, shadows and/or lighting. A processor can then control the host vehicle taking into account the at least one most probable traffic situation.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for adaptive user input boundary support for remote vehicle motion commands. The systems and methods described herein may be used to allow more flexibility in continuous inputs provided to trigger commands to a vehicle to perform an autonomous function, such as Remote Park Assist (RePA). The systems and methods may allow RePA to continue even if the continuous input is not provided in the form of a perfect circle or if the continuous input drifts gradually over time.

Abstract: Method and apparatus are disclosed for monitoring of communication for vehicle remote motive control. An example vehicle includes an autonomy unit for remote motive control, a communication module, and a controller. The controller is to send a diagnostic signal to and receive a return signal from a mobile device via the communication module, determine a time period between sending of the diagnostic signal and receipt of the return signal, and prevent the autonomy unit from causing vehicle movement responsive to determining the time period is greater than a threshold.

Abstract: Method and apparatus are disclosed for user interfaces for vehicle remote park-assist. An example remote park-assist system includes a mobile app. The mobile app includes an interface for a touchscreen of a mobile device. The interface includes a pushbutton for receiving a continuous stationary input and an input pad for receiving a dynamic input sequence. The example remote park-assist system also includes a communication module for communication with the mobile device and an autonomy unit to perform motive functions while the interface simultaneously receives the continuous stationary input and the dynamic input sequence.
