A method for charging a battery of a vehicle including at least one electric power train, the battery adapted to supply electrical energy to the electric power train, includes: predicting a charging location for charging the battery after at least one next trip of the vehicle; and transmitting the charging location to a power grid.

Method and control device for charging a battery of a vehicle

A gearshift knob for a gearshift lever of a vehicle and a method for operating a vehicle are described.

Gearshift knob and method for operating a vehicle

An in-vehicle system and method for presenting an abstraction of available parking spaces proximate the vehicle, including information conveying the quantity and heading of the available spaces. The available parking information is presented in a format that can be understood at a glance, for use in making navigation decisions while cruising for an available parking space.

Directional parking availability visualization system

A method and system provides a human machine interface configured to provide a vehicle driver with an appropriate easy to understand information to perform driving maneuvers safely. The human machine interface provides the driver with safety information for performing a driving maneuver. The human machine interface is further configured to provide a visualization of an environment of the vehicle and a color scheme configured to convey a criticality of an execution of a vehicle maneuver.

Human machine interface

An in-vehicle parking system and method for displaying and analyzing parking information.

Personalized parking assistant

A system includes a turn signal lever, at least one exterior sensor configured to detect a condition of an area surrounding a vehicle, and a display configured to display information about the condition of the area surrounding vehicle. The turn signal lever includes at least one sensor configured to detect a touch or a proximity of a user's finger or hand. The turn signal lever includes a top sensor and a bottom sensor, which are configured to distinguish between intended actuation of the lever by the user for a left turn or a right turn. The display is configured to display information indicating a degree of safety for performing the intended turn.

Vehicle signal lever proximity sensing for lane change intention detection with following recommendation to driver

A method for an electric vehicle travelling from a starting point to a destination, a navigation system for an electric vehicle, a method for charging an electrical energy storage device of an electric vehicle, a charger for charging an electrical energy storage device of an electric vehicle, and an electric vehicle are described.
