The invention concerns a method for operating a brake back-up system () of a motor vehicle (), with the steps:

Method for operation of a brake back-up system of a motor vehicle

Systems and methods are provided herein for adaptive user input boundary support for remote vehicle motion commands. The systems and methods described herein may be used to allow more flexibility in continuous inputs provided to trigger commands to a vehicle to perform an autonomous function, such as Remote Park Assist (RePA). The systems and methods may allow RePA to continue even if the continuous input is not provided in the form of a perfect circle or if the continuous input drifts gradually over time.

Systems and methods for adaptive user input boundary support for remote vehicle motion commands

Method and apparatus are disclosed for monitoring of communication for vehicle remote motive control. An example vehicle includes an autonomy unit for remote motive control, a communication module, and a controller. The controller is to send a diagnostic signal to and receive a return signal from a mobile device via the communication module, determine a time period between sending of the diagnostic signal and receipt of the return signal, and prevent the autonomy unit from causing vehicle movement responsive to determining the time period is greater than a threshold.

High phone BLE or CPU burden detection and notification

Method and apparatus are disclosed for user interfaces for vehicle remote park-assist. An example remote park-assist system includes a mobile app. The mobile app includes an interface for a touchscreen of a mobile device. The interface includes a pushbutton for receiving a continuous stationary input and an input pad for receiving a dynamic input sequence. The example remote park-assist system also includes a communication module for communication with the mobile device and an autonomy unit to perform motive functions while the interface simultaneously receives the continuous stationary input and the dynamic input sequence.
