  • Publication number: 20210094385
    Abstract: A server includes a processor, programmed to receive a vehicle location from a vehicle, receive a weather condition of the vehicle location from a cloud server, responsive to receiving a calendar of a user including an event, calculate a departure time based on the vehicle location and a location of the event, responsive to receiving a desired cabin temperature of the user from a mobile device, calculate a minimum time for the vehicle to reach the desired cabin temperature based on the weather condition, calculate a vehicle start time using the departure time and the minimum time, and send an instruction to the vehicle to start at the vehicle start time.

  • Publication number: 20210091927
    Abstract: A system is disclosed that may comprise: one or more processors of a center node, wherein the center node is a vehicle computer; and memory of the center node, wherein the memory stores instructions executable by the one or more processors, the instructions comprising to: determine a first network comprising the center node and a plurality of member nodes based on a mesh network of the center node and the plurality of member nodes; add at least one virtual node to the first network; and using the first network, exchange cryptographic data between the at least one virtual node, the center node, and the plurality of member nodes.

  • Publication number: 20210063167
    Abstract: A vehicle can be operated in an identified map area. Output is obtained from a first classifier, based on input including the map area and one or more current environmental conditions detected in the map area, specifying a first probability that the map area is currently available for sensing to support input-free operation of the vehicle. Then, if and only if the first probability indicates that the map area is currently available for sensing to support input-free operation of the vehicle, output is obtained from a second classifier, based on input including the map area and the one or more current environmental conditions, specifying a second probability that the vehicle will traverse the map area without a minimum risk maneuver event. Then, if and only if the second probability indicates that the vehicle will traverse the map area without a minimum risk maneuver event, operating the vehicle in an input-free mode in the map area.

  • Publication number: 20210044368
    Abstract: A method includes identifying, from radial contours indicating listening areas for respective radio stations, each radial contour specifying a geographic location of a respective radio station and a plurality of segments surrounding the radio station, each segment defining a radius outward from the geographic location defining a boundary of the listening area for the corresponding segment, a segment of a radial contour of a radio station currently tuned to by a radio receiver for a listener location; responsive to the listener location exceeding the radial extent from the radio station for the segment, identifying an alternate radio station available for the listener location; identifying, from the radial contours and the listener location, a segment of a radial contour of the alternate radio station; and responsive to the listener location being within a radial extent from the alternate radio station for the segment, transitioning to the alternate radio station.

  • Publication number: 20190258727
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward a method and system for deconstructing and searching binary based vehicular data. The method includes extracting a vehicle filename metadata for one or more vehicular files; parsing data of the vehicular files to generate categorized objects based on a vehicular data dictionary for the vehicular files; associating each of the categorized objects with a respective vehicle filename metadata; storing vehicular documents indicative of the categorized objects with associated vehicle filename metadata in a database system; building a query based on a search input acquired by way of a search interface being displayed; and transmitting search results in response to the search input. The vehicular data dictionary defines multiple terms indicative of decoding logic provided in the vehicular files.
