A computer-implemented method and system for integration among content publication, advertisement services and rewards collection is provided. The method and system comprises publishing a first content generated by a first user for public viewing, determining whether a predetermined condition of the published first content reaches a first predetermined threshold, providing a limited number of user-controlled slots if the first predetermined threshold is reached, and allowing the first user to set a price or prices for rewards collection. When the published content reaches a second predetermined threshold, another limited number of user-controlled slots is then provided for the user to set a price or prices for rewards collection and so on.

A method for determining a location of a target positioned behind a tow vehicle is provided. The method includes receiving images from a camera positioned on a back portion of the tow vehicle. The images include the target. The method includes applying one or more filter banks to the images. The method also includes determining a region of interest within each image based on the applied filter banks. The region of interest includes the target. The method also includes identifying the target within the region of interest and determining a target location of the target including a location in a real-world coordinate system. The method also includes transmitting instructions to a drive system supported by the vehicle. The instructions cause the tow vehicle to autonomously maneuver towards the location in the real-world coordinate system.

Methods and systems for managing content related to Sustainable Development Strategies (SDS) may include a processor for receiving content comprising standardized data. The standardized data may include monetary valuations. The processor may be configured to store the received content in a storage device, and communicate with a content publication module and the storage device to publish the SDS content. In an embodiment, the processor may be configured to allow for searching of the published content by criteria based on the standardized SDS content. In an embodiment, the publication of submitted contents may be limited to a first predetermined number. The publication limit may be increased from the first predetermined number to a second predetermined number when a first predetermined threshold is reached. To encourage new quality content, additional increase in the number of contents that may be published may be allowed if additional predetermined thresholds are met.

A method of avoiding a collision while operating a vehicle in reverse comprises detecting an object proximate to a vehicle with at least one sensor including detecting objects located along side of a vehicle and determining a predicted vehicle path, including a tracking path for front wheels of the vehicle. A probability is determined with a controller located within the vehicle of collision of one of the front corner and a side of the vehicle with the object while the vehicle is travelling in reverse and at least one collision avoidance response is determined with the controller based on the probability of collision.

Collision avoidance based on front wheel off tracking during reverse operation

A hitch assist system for a vehicle comprises a camera mounted to view a reverse path of a vehicle, an input device connected for the hitch assist system, and a controller. The controller includes instructions for detecting a trailer proximate to a vehicle with the camera, determining a vehicle hitch ball location, determining a trailer hitch location, and calculating a vehicle path from an initial position to a final position. The vehicle hitch ball is laterally aligned with the trailer hitch in the final position. The controller also includes instructions for calculating the steering and braking maneuvers necessary to move the vehicle along the path to the final position and sending instructions to a vehicle steering system and a vehicle brake system to perform the calculated maneuvers.
