  • Patent number: 12325396
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to determine brake pad wear are disclosed herein. An example vehicle disclosed herein includes a brake, memory, and a processor to execute instructions to detect the vehicle is in operation on a road, determine a deceleration capability of the brake in response to a first brake check event, compare the deceleration capability of the vehicle to a first threshold, and in response to determining the deceleration capability of the vehicle does not satisfy the first threshold, cause the vehicle to navigate to an exit of the road prior to a portion of the road with a grade higher than a threshold grade.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 12223727
    Abstract: A plurality of vehicle charging stations and a plurality of stationary sensors with respective fields of view can be disposed within an area. A stationary node computer including a first processor and a first memory and communicatively can be coupled to the charging station and the stationary sensors, the first memory storing instructions executable by the first processor such that the stationary computer is programmed to authorize a request from a vehicle to access the charging station; identify an object, detected in the area in data from one or more of the stationary sensors, to be tracked with respect to the vehicle; wherein the object to be tracked with respect to the vehicle is identified based on a type of the object, an attribute of the object and an attribute of the vehicle; and transmit data about the object to the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20240246440
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a traction battery and a controller. The controller, in response to the traction battery having to be charged at a charging station during a vehicle trip for the traction battery to have sufficient energy for the vehicle to complete the vehicle trip, schedules the traction battery for charging during the vehicle trip at a selected charging station from among multiple charging stations in which an overall time of the vehicle trip will be lowest.
