Abstract: A control apparatus for a vehicle disclosed herein is applied to a vehicle configured to perform pre-air conditioning of the interior of the vehicle by starting an internal combustion engine according to a remote control signal sent from a remote controller. When starting pre-air conditioning according to the remote control signal, the control apparatus sets the control mode of the vehicle to a drive-disabling mode, which is a control mode that disables an operation for driving the vehicle. If a specific mode-cancelling operation is detected in a situation in which the remote controller is present in the interior of the vehicle while the control mode of the vehicle is being set to the drive-disabling mode, the control apparatus cancels the drive-disabling mode while leaving the internal combustion engine operating.

Abstract: A vehicle control device includes a controller configured to execute: receiving a remote signal containing a target temperature in a cabin and an expected traveling start time of a vehicle; performing preheating of the cabin in a second air-conditioning mode in which the preheating is performed by using an electric heat pump when a temperature in the cabin is predicted to be increasable to the target temperature in the second air-conditioning mode before the expected traveling start time, the preheating being based on a remote operation; and performing the preheating of the cabin in a first air-conditioning mode in which the preheating is performed by using exhaust heat generated when an internal combustion engine operates when the temperature in the cabin is predicted not to be increasable to the target temperature in the second air-conditioning mode before the expected traveling start time.

Abstract: In a case where an engine is started based on a remote operation, a limitation condition for limiting an engine start is tightened or a stop condition after the engine is started is relaxed, as compared to a case where the engine is started based on a switch operation in an occupant cabin. That is, it is difficult to start the engine when the engine is started based on the remote operation, and it is easy to stop the engine when the engine is started based on the remote operation. As a result, it is possible to take more appropriate measures when the engine is started based on the remote operation.

Abstract: In a case where a non-history position start for starting an engine based on a remote operation at a position at which a position of a vehicle is different from a start history position having a start history of the engine is executed, a limitation condition for limiting an engine start is tightened as compared to a case where a history position start for starting the engine based on the remote operation at the start history position is executed. That is, in a case where the non-history position start is executed, it is difficult to start the engine. As a result, it is possible to take more appropriate measures when the engine is started based on the remote operation.

Abstract: An information processing device that includes a control unit that acquires an output of a sensor that detects a body of matter on each seat of a vehicle, and that transmits information on a permitted seat arrangement to a user terminal based on the output of the sensor.

Abstract: An information processing device includes a controlling portion configured to execute the followings: when a predetermined condition for opening or closing of a window of a vehicle is established, transmitting, to the vehicle, a command to start the opening or closing of the window; acquiring information to determine whether or not a person is present inside the vehicle during the opening or closing of the window; and in a case where it is determined that a person is present inside the vehicle, transmitting, to the vehicle, a command to stop the opening or closing of the window.

Abstract: An information processing device associated with a vehicle includes a processor. The processor is configured to presume that a person or an item has been left behind in a rear seat of the vehicle, based on whether a rear door was opened and closed in a predetermined period before running of the vehicle and whether the rear door was opened and closed in a predetermined period after running of the vehicle. The processor is configured to perform sensing of the rear seat based on a presumption result. The processor is configured to notify the user based on a sensing result.

Abstract: An air-fuel ratio of each cylinder is estimated on the basis of a detection value of an air-fuel ratio sensor disposed in an exhaust confluent portion. An air-fuel ratio correction quantity is computed on the basis of the estimated air-fuel ratio of each cylinder. The air-fuel ratio of an air-fuel mixture to be supplied to each cylinder is corrected on the basis of the cylinder air-fuel ratio correction quantity to reduce a variation in the air-fuel ratio between the cylinders. When a state in which the cylinder air-fuel ratio correction quantity or its learning value of any cylinder is outside a specified range continues for a while during a period in which this cylinder air-fuel ratio control is performed, a combustion is stopped for the cylinder outside the specified range and the cylinder air-fuel ratio control is continuously performed only for other normal cylinders.
