Abstract: Presented are smart vehicle systems and control logic that provide automated lane merging assistance, methods for making/using such systems, and vehicles equipped with such systems. A method of operating a motor vehicle includes a vehicle controller communicating with a host vehicle tracking device to receive therefrom location data indicative of the motor vehicle's current location. Using this location data and a digital roadway map, the controller maps the motor vehicle's location to a vehicle roadway and concomitantly detects a lane merging event responsive to the host vehicle's location coinciding with a roadway segment that is merging with another roadway lane segment at a lane merging point. Responsive to detecting a lane merging event, the controller determines a new mirror angle for a driver mirror and concurrently commands a mirror actuator to move the driver mirror to the new mirror angle prior to the motor vehicle reaching the lane merging point.

Abstract: An in-vehicle violence detection and fusion system includes a standard vehicle camera positioned within a vehicle capturing images of at least one occupant of the vehicle. An event camera positioned within the vehicle captures motion images of the at least one occupant.

A threat evaluation module receives the fused ROI signal and augments the fused ROI signal with saved data to assist in differentiating normal events from threat events. An event camera-based violence indicator identifies the threat events to the at least one occupant of the vehicle.

Abstract: A perception processing system includes a memory and a main controller. The main controller includes modules and implements a data processing pipeline including algorithm stages, which are executed in parallel relative to sets of data and are executed sequentially relative to each of the sets of data. The algorithm stages share resources of the modules and the memory to process the sets of data and generate perception information. One of the modules executes global and local controllers. The global controller sets a processing rate for the local controllers. The local controllers monitor current processing rates of the algorithm stages. When one of the current processing rates is less than the set processing rate, the corresponding one of the local controllers sends a first signal to the global controller and in response the global controller sends a broadcast signal to the local controllers to adjust the current processing rates.
