An automated vehicle system includes an information system, data storage, an electronic controller and a notification device. The information system is configured to receive information related to an environment of the automated vehicle. The data storage has a predetermined socially acceptable behavior parameter stored therein. The electronic controller is configured to compare the information to the predetermined socially acceptable behavior parameter and determine vehicle behavior based on the information. The notification device is configured to present a notification of a course of action based on the determined vehicle behavior.

Automated vehicle system

A system for an automated vehicle includes a user input interface and an electronic controller. The electronic controller is programmed with instructions to operate at least one aspect of the automated vehicle, is configured to process information input through the user input interface, the information including data directed to predetermined parameters related to the at least one aspect of the automated vehicle at a predetermined location, and update the instructions based on the information to alter the least one aspect of the automated vehicle.

A system and method of displaying advertising content includes transmitting data associated with a vehicle to a data center. An advertisement is generated based on the transmitted data. The advertisement is transmitted to the vehicle. An evaluation period is determined during which the advertisement is prevented from being displayed. The advertisement is displayed on a display of an in-vehicle infotainment system following the evaluation period.

System and method of displaying in-vehicle advertising content

Controlling a vehicle using contextual navigation assistance can include defining a context for the vehicle using sensor data for a plurality of time points while the vehicle traverses between a starting and stopping location, the context being one of multiple contexts, and each associated with at least one candidate variable for inclusion in an ordered representation of information, classifying the vehicle into a phase of multiple phases associated with different proximities of the vehicle to a maneuver, each phase associated with at least one candidate variable for inclusion in the ordered representation, and generating, using the phase and the context, the ordered representation. The ordered representation is ranked from most likely to least likely information that is necessary, during a current phase, to successfully complete the maneuver. The ordered representation is produced by a user interface so that it can be used to control the vehicle.

An autonomous vehicle communication method comprises sensing a condition associated with the autonomous vehicle, and initiating, by a controller in response to the sensing of the condition, communication pertaining to the autonomous vehicle between a vehicle manager remote to the autonomous vehicle and an external agent external to the autonomous vehicle. The autonomous vehicle communication method further comprises controlling the autonomous vehicle remotely in response to a command that is based on the condition associated with the autonomous vehicle and the communication between the vehicle manager and the external agent.

Autonomous vehicle communication system and method

Structured multivariate contextual vehicle operation with integrated semiotic control may include identifying operational environment information representing a current operational environment for the vehicle, identifying a vehicle control action for controlling the vehicle to traverse a portion of a vehicle transportation network, identifying vehicle control modification information in response to the operational environment information, identifying vehicle control information in response to the vehicle control modification information and the vehicle control action, and controlling the vehicle to traverse a portion of a vehicle transportation network in accordance with the vehicle control information by controlling the vehicle to traverse the portion of the vehicle transportation network in accordance with the vehicle control information such that controlling the vehicle to traverse the portion of the vehicle transportation network in accordance with the vehicle control information includes controlling the vehicle to output a semiotic representation of the vehicle control information.
