Abstract: Systems and methods for communication between a vehicle system and a secure communication bus are disclosed. Systems can include a microcontroller and a transceiver configured to send transmit data to the communication bus, receive data from the communication bus, and send data received from the communication bus to the microcontroller. The microcontroller may be prevented from transmitting data to the transceiver by hardware separation between an output of the microcontroller and the transmit data input of the transceiver. The communication bus may be a CAN bus.

A vehicle that combines sensors, actuators, infotainment, and/or communication functions may have the capability to provide a fully autonomous training experience in a real world environment. The vehicle can administer, monitor, and communicate with a vehicle operator for competency training and/or verification for a specific vehicle feature, sub-feature, situation maneuver, and/or objective.

Abstract: The double visor hat reduces exposure to sun like many other hats but is unique in that it provides additional ventilation for maximal air circulation. This additional ventilation helps the wearer of the hat remain cooler in direct sunlight as compared to other hats. The hat achieves this additional ventilation without added sun exposure by a design that includes multiple visors that are staggered in such a way as to block sunlight but still allow for the significant ventilation.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure can provide for secure communication in a vehicle network by distinguishing among communications at different layers of the vehicle network and using different security levels depending on the network layer. For example, a communication between different electronic control units (ECUs) in the same domain (e.g., two ECUs in the powertrain domain) may not need as much as security as a communication that originates from an ECU in a different domain (e.g., the chassis domain) or from a device outside the vehicle. This can allow for increased security where compromise is a greater possibility, such as when communications originate from outside the vehicle, and decreased security where comprise is a lesser possibility and performance is a greater concern, such as communications between ECUs within the vehicle and/or in the same domain.
