Performing in-vehicle network diagnostics is provided. A cloud system receives wiring diagnostic data from a vehicle. The wiring diagnostic data includes information with respect to electrical operation of a plurality of segments of wiring of the vehicle. A machine-learning model of the cloud system is utilized to analyze the wiring diagnostic data. Responsive to the machine-learning model identifying an issue with the electrical operation based on the wiring diagnostic data, a response is sent from the cloud system to the vehicle, the response including one or more corrective actions to be performed by the vehicle to address the issue.

Automotive network vehicle bus diagnostics

Method and apparatus are disclosed for controller area network message authentication. An example disclosed vehicle includes a data bus and a first control unit communicatively coupled to the data bus. The example first control unit generates a secured message by (a) calculating a message authentication code, (b) truncating the message authentication code, (c) truncating a freshness value used to generate the message authentication code, and (d) placing portions of the truncated message authentication code and the truncated freshness value in separate portions of the secured message.

Controller area network message authentication

A system includes a processor configured to receive a request from a vehicle module and identify a receiving entity for the request. The processor is further configured to send the request to the identified entity and to receive a response from the identified entity and forward the received response to the vehicle module.

Method and apparatus for module remote request handling

A vehicle wireless network access system includes a wireless connection switch disposed within a vehicle and configured to, in response to receiving a data transfer request, establish a wireless connection with one of a plurality of network links according to a prioritization of the network links that is based on a speed of the vehicle and an expected path of travel of the vehicle relative to the network links.

Context-based wireless network link access prioritization system

A system and method for managing a power source in a vehicle that has an engine and an electric machine operable to provide torque to start the engine, includes the step of setting a first discharge power limit for the power source that is at least partly based on the power capability of the power source. A second discharge power limit for the power source is also set. The second discharge power limit is higher than the first discharge power limit, and it is a function of at least the power capability of the power source and the first discharge power limit.
