Embodiments relates to systems and methods to calculate a tire pressure scheme to be utilized by a tire of a vehicle during a trip, communicate a command to the tire pressure control apparatus, to adjust tire pressure of a tire based on the tire pressure scheme, detect a problem encountered in adjusting the tire pressure of the tire based on the tire pressure scheme, generate an alert regarding the problem via a driver assistance interface, and recommend an action to be taken to mitigate the problem.

A method of controlling communication over a Local Interconnect Network (LIN) bus is provided. The method comprises a redundancy master node detecting whether or not a first master node responds to data transmitted over the LIN bus; wherein in case the first master node does not respond, the redundancy master node will act as master node on the LIN bus.

Embodiments relate to a dynamic routing system, comprising a memory that stores computer executable components, and a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory, wherein the computer executable components comprise a first receiving component that receives information of a trip comprising a destination and departure information, and an optimal routing component that determines an optimal routing based on current conditions, user preferences for charging stations, primary user's driving habits, battery's state of health, financial impact, and availability of charging stations at the time of receiving the trip information. At the time of trip set up, the system can make reservations for charging at the charging station requiring a reservation. During the trip, if the system requires a change to the reservation, the system establishes communication with the charging station and adjusts the reservation.

The disclosure relates to a system for wireless charging of an electric vehicle, the system comprising: an electric vehicle having at least a wireless power transfer module and a wireless communication device; the wireless power transfer module being coupled to a battery of the electric vehicle; and a charging station having a wireless communication module and being coupled to a power source, the power source being a domestic power grid; the charging station being configured to charge the battery by wirelessly transmitting power to the wireless power transfer module; the wireless communication device being configured to send signals to the environment for detecting the charging station, waking-up the charging station or activating the wireless power transfer module; the wireless communication module being configured to switch from a standby-mode into an active mode in response to a signal from the wireless communication device; and the wireless power transfer module being configured to switch from a standby-mode into an active mode in response to the wireless communication module being in the active mode. The disclosure further relates to a method for wireless charging of an electric vehicle.

A door assist system of a vehicle may handle a remotely triggered operation of a power door of the vehicle. The door assist system receives from an off-board system a door closure signal requesting the door assist system to activate closing of a power door of the vehicle. The door assist system further determines with input from one or more surroundings detecting sensors adapted to capture a surrounding proximate the vehicle, that an obstacle is in vicinity of the vehicle. Moreover, the door assist system refrains from activating closing of the power door when the obstacle is determined to interfere and/or potentially interfere with a projected closing path of the power door. A door assist system, and a vehicle comprising such a door assist system may perform the foregoing remotely triggered operation.
