Abstract: A traveling assistance apparatus for a vehicle includes a first recognizer acquiring surrounding environment information, a second recognizer acquiring vehicle condition information, a notifier notifying a driver of predetermined information, and a control processing unit performing vehicle traveling control and including a determiner and first and second processors. The determiner determines whether the vehicle is in a stuck state, based on the vehicle condition information, and evaluates a stuck level when the vehicle is in the stuck state. The first processor executes first recovery assistance control that automatically assists the vehicle in recovering from the stuck state. The second processor executes second recovery assistance control that outputs, to the notifier, first recovery operation instruction information based on which the vehicle is to recover from the stuck state.

Abstract: A display device of an autonomous vehicle is controlled based on data collected from sensors located in or on the vehicle. The display device is used to present one or more images to a driver and/or passengers of the autonomous vehicle. The display device can be, for example, a windshield and/or other window of the vehicle. Image data can be, for example, transformed to improve visual perception by passengers in the vehicle when the images are displayed on a curved shape of the windshield.

Abstract: A system for crowdsourcing reporting of road conditions from abnormal vehicle events. Abnormal vehicle events (such as sudden braking, sharp turns, evasive actions, pothole impact, etc.) can be detected and reported to a road condition monitoring system (RCMS). The RCMS can identify patterns in reported road conditions to generate advisory information or instructions for vehicles and users of vehicles. For example, suspected obstacles can be identified and used to instruct a driver or a vehicle to slow down gradually to avoid sudden braking and sharp turns. In some examples, a vehicle can have a camera that can upload an image of a suspected obstacle (e.g., a pothole) to allow the positive identification of a road problem. This provides the RCMS with more confidence to take a corrective action, such as an automated call to a road repair service.

Abstract: A vehicle traveling performance control function simulation apparatus includes a processor and a confirmation output member. The processor outputs a simulation related to a traveling performance control function for a vehicle with use of a vehicle inside member. The traveling performance control function is to be enabled by an operation performed by an occupant. The vehicle inside member is provided around the occupant. The confirmation output member outputs, with respect to the occupant, a confirmation as to whether outputting of the simulation related to the traveling performance control function is permitted. The processor outputs the simulation related to the traveling performance control function in a case where the outputting of the simulation is permitted on the basis of the confirmation. The processor does not output the simulation in a case where the outputting of the simulation is not permitted on the basis of the confirmation.

Abstract: A robot that transfers a substrate includes an arm, a hand, a substrate orientation acquirer, a hand orientation adjuster, and a control unit. The hand is installed to the arm and holds and transfers the substrate. The substrate orientation acquirer acquires information about an orientation of a to-be-transferred substrate, which is the substrate to be transferred. The hand orientation adjuster adjusts an orientation of the hand with respect to the to-be-transferred substrate. The control unit controls operations of the arm, the hand, and the hand orientation adjuster. The control unit adjusts the orientation of the hand performing a taking-out operation on the to-be-transferred substrate by using the hand orientation adjuster based on the information about the orientation of the to-be-transferred substrate.

The commands are configured to cause the one or more processors to execute: a process of acquiring driver information related to a driver who drives the vehicle; a process of determining a psychological state of the driver using the driver information; a process of estimating a trouble using the psychological state; and a voice output process of causing a voice corresponding to the psychological state to be output based on that the trouble has been estimated.

Abstract: A memory device stores data for a host. In one approach, a trim operation is initiated for the memory device (e.g., based on a context that is determined for the memory device). During the trim operation, read and/or write tests are performed on one or more portions of a non-volatile storage media of the memory device. One or more characteristics associated with the memory device are observed during the test. Based on these observed characteristics, one or more trim settings are determined. Then, the memory device is updated to store the determined trim settings to configure subsequent read or write access to the non-volatile storage media (e.g., access performed in response to commands from a host).
