Abstract: A system for dynamic battery loading for electric vehicles includes an electric motor to displace a vehicle. A first battery stores a first electric power charge and a second battery stores a second electric power charge. A controller dynamically loads or couples the first battery or the second battery to deliver the first electric power charge or the second electric power charge, respectively, to the electric motor based at least in part on the power signal, a location of the first battery, or a location of the second battery within the vehicle.

Abstract: A machine-implemented method is provided for controlling a fully automated or partially automated road vehicle so as to accurately position the vehicle within a traffic lane occupied by the vehicle. The method includes: determining locations of or distances to side boundaries or a longitudinal center of a traffic lane currently occupied by the vehicle; determining a currently requested or commanded offset from either one of the side boundaries or the longitudinal center of the traffic lane; determining if the vehicle is currently at least substantially complying with the requested or commanded offset; and if the vehicle is not currently substantially complying with the offset, adjusting a steering control of the vehicle to thereby bring the vehicle into compliance with the currently requested or commanded offset. By requesting or commanding different offsets on different days, road wear is more evenly distributed and concentrate break down due to accurate lane centering is avoided.
