Abstract: Systems and methods for repositioning autonomous vehicles are disclosed. The systems and methods facilitate moving vehicles of a fleet of vehicles into more advantageous locations. For example, autonomous vehicles can be moved from positions where a vehicle would be difficult to access by a user and/or be less likely to be used by a user to positions that provide easier access by a user and/or make the vehicle more likely to be used.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a vehicle seat and a plate fixed relative to the vehicle seat. A seatbelt buckle is rotatably supported by the vehicle seat. The seatbelt buckle is rotatable relative to the plate from a first position to a second position. A slot is in one of the plate and the seatbelt buckle and a pin is supported by the other of the plate and the seatbelt buckle. The pin is moveable relative to the other of the plate and the seatbelt buckle from a retracted position to an extended position. The pin is spaced from the slot and in the retracted position when the seatbelt buckle is in the first position. The pin is in the extended position and extends into the slot when the seatbelt buckle is in the second position. A pyrotechnic device is operatively coupled to the seatbelt buckle to rotate the seatbelt buckle.

A seatbelt buckle is rotatably supported by the vehicle seat and is rotatable relative to the plate to one of a first or second position. A first and second slot are both in one of the plate or the seatbelt buckle. A pin supported by and movable to an extended position relative to one of the plate or the seatbelt buckle. The pin is spaced from the first and second slot when the seatbelt buckle is in a stowed position and is positioned to extend into the first or second slot when the seatbelt buckle is in the first or second position. A computer executes instructions to rotate the seatbelt buckle to one of the first or second position based on a size of an occupant and, then, move the pin to the extended position.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide for an automated system for determining whether claims related to an insured item should proceed to an arbitrating body. A virtual assistant (also referred to herein as an “arbitration assessment assistant”) installed in a computing device (e.g., computer, laptop, tablet computer, mobile phone, etc.) may be responsible for managing and assisting an insurance representative (e.g., an insurance adjuster, subrogation representative, etc.) in determining liability and fault relating to a claim, conducting a subrogation process, and ultimately determining whether the claim should be submitted for arbitration. In one or more aspects discussed, herein the process may be fully automated.

Abstract: A computing device obtains data indicating a topography for an area comprising water and receives an indication of an identified data object representing a stressor to the area or a first monitoring station configurable to monitor the stressor. The computing device also determines a location for the identified data object in the topography and selects one or more related data objects to be related to the identified data object by determining a classification indicating whether the identified data object operates in water and selecting the one or more related data objects based on the location and the classification. The computing device also generates one or more controls for monitoring the area based on the selected one or more related data objects.
