Abstract: A computer includes a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to identify a first scenario in which a vehicle is operating from a plurality of scenarios, prompt an operator to activate an adaptive cruise control of the vehicle in response to a preference score for the first scenario being above a threshold, refrain from prompting the operator to activate the adaptive cruise control in response to the preference score for the first scenario being below the threshold, and activate the adaptive cruise control in response to receiving an input to activate the adaptive cruise control from the operator. The scenarios indicate at least one characteristic of a road on which the vehicle is traveling. The preference score indicates a preference of the operator for activating the adaptive cruise control in the first scenario.

Abstract: The disclosure generally pertains to recommending an alternative off-road track to a driver of a vehicle. In an example method, a processor receives a sensor signal that is generated in response to an operating condition of the vehicle on an off-road track. The operating condition can include, for example, an angular orientation of a chassis portion of the vehicle with respect to a ground surface (yaw, pitch, roll, etc.), steering characteristics, speed characteristics, and/or braking characteristics. The processor evaluates the sensor signal to identify an attribute of the off-road track, such as, for example, a difficulty factor and/or a challenge level. The processor may assign a track score to the off-road track based on the attribute and may provide to the driver, a recommendation for use of another off-road track based on comparing the first track score to a second track score associated with the other off-road track.

Abstract: A profile for an occupant is stored. The profile includes a plurality of clusters of sitting positions for the occupant in a seat and classifications of respective clusters as preferred or nonpreferred. Respective clusters are classified as preferred or nonpreferred based on sitting scores for the respective sitting positions in that cluster. A higher sitting score increases a likelihood of the classification being preferred. A series of pressure maps indicating a respective series of sitting positions of the occupant in the seat are received. The pressure maps include a current pressure map. One of the sitting positions is assigned to one of the clusters that is classified as preferred in response to the sitting score of that sitting position being greater than a threshold score. A physical configuration of the seat is adjusted in response to the current sitting position being in one of the clusters that is classified as nonpreferred.

Abstract: A vehicle may determine that erratic vehicle behavior has been sensed, based on comparison of a sensed vehicle behavioral characteristic at a given location compared to a predefined expected value of the characteristic. The vehicle may further determine whether an environmental anomaly has been detected in association with the given location and classify the sensed erratic behavior based on whether the environmental anomaly was detected. Responsive to classifying the behavior as erratic based on determining no environmental anomaly was detected, the vehicle may report the erratic behavior to a remote server, along with the given location. The remote server may receive a plurality of such reports for a given location and update a classification of the behavior based on data indicated in the plurality of reports.

Abstract: An arrival time of a primary vehicle to arrive at a stopping location is predicted based a current path of the primary vehicle. A predicted transit time period of a secondary vehicle to move to the stopping location is received. Upon determining that a current time is a time that is the predicted transit time period subtracted from the arrival time, a message is sent from the primary vehicle to the secondary vehicle instructing the secondary vehicle to move to the stopping location.
