Method for providing parallel parking assistance including generating an augmented video stream including an overhead view video stream, a graphical representation of a host vehicle, and a first arrow for indicating an initial position of the host vehicle, generating, by a processor, a first control signal indicative of a first steering angle in response to receiving a first confirmation signal from a user interface indicative of a confirmation of the initial position of the host vehicle, generating, by the processor, a second control signal indicative of a second steering angle in response to a change in yaw reaching a first desired yaw, generating, by the processor, a second arrow to be overlaid on the overhead view video stream indicative of a distance between the host vehicle and a curb, generating, by the processor, a third control signal indicative of a third steering angle in response to receiving a second confirmation signal from the user interface indicative of a confirmation of the distance between the host vehicle and the curb.

Driver in the loop parallel parking assistance system

A parking assist system and method for aligning a capture resonator mounted on a vehicle with a source resonator, charging pad, disposed on a ground surface is disclosed. The parking assist system includes a vehicle GPS receiver, a vehicle external sensor, an ultra-wide band (UWB) sensor, a controller; and a display device. The controller is configured to process information collected from the vehicle GPS receiver, the vehicle external sensor, and the UWB sensor to determine the location of the source resonator and to calculate a path to park the vehicle such that the capture resonator is aligned with the source resonator. A rendering of a trajectory path is displayed on a display device. The calculated path may be communicated to an autonomous driving system to autonomously maneuvering the vehicle into a parking space such that the capture resonator is aligned with the source resonator.

System and method for assisting a vehicle to park in alignment with a wireless battery charging pad

A system according to the present disclosure includes an edge detection module, a hitch identification module, a guidance line module, and a display control module. The edge detection module detects edges of an object within an image of a cargo bed of a vehicle. The hitch identification module identifies at least one of a type of a trailer hitch attached to the cargo bed and a size of the trailer hitch based on the detected edges of the object. The guidance line module determines a starting point of a guidance line for connecting a trailer to the trailer hitch based on at least one of the type of the trailer hitch and the size of the trailer hitch. The display control module controls an electronic display to display the image of the cargo bed and to display the guidance line on the image of the cargo bed.

A method and apparatus for providing trailer information are provided. The method includes detecting a p coupler of the trailer in the image of the rear-facing camera; detecting a position of the coupler in the received image; and determining a distance between the detected position of the coupler of the trailer and a hitch of vehicle. The method may be use to display information about a trailer coupler or guide a vehicle to line up a vehicle hitch to a trailer coupler.

Method and apparatus for providing trailer information

Methods and systems for implementing personalized driver assistance features such as adaptive cruise control, adaptive cruise control with stop and go, and forward collision warning. The methods and systems collect specific vehicle data and then calculate values that populate a histogram representing driver habits and tendencies regarding following and stopping distances in relation to objects ahead of the vehicle. The methods and systems utilize the histogram data to provide the driver with a personalized driver assistance features.
