Extendable vehicle electronics system including a base unit having base electronic components for implementing base electronic functions. An extension module includes a module data transceiver and extension electronic components operable in combination with the base electronic components for implementing extended electronic functions. A base data transceiver is used for communications between the base unit and the module data transceiver. A module locator locates the extension module for communication between the base unit and the module data transceiver. The extension electronic components include a processor for processing input data to generate output data within the extension module for transmission to the base unit.

Extendable vehicle electronics system, extension module, and associated methods

A computer implemented method for energy or resource management of a human-machine interface comprises the following steps carried out by computer hardware components of the human-machine interface: determining a level of attention of a user of the human-machine interface to the human-machine interface; and setting an energy and/or resource utilization related setting of the human-machine interface based on the determined level of attention.

Methods and systems for energy or resource management of a human-machine interface

A method for determining a time for scheduling wireless transfer of payload data to a first vehicle from a second vehicle. The method includes the steps of: a) providing a movement profile for each of the of vehicles; b) comparing the movement profiles; and c) dependent on the outcome of step b) determining a one or more suitable scheduling times when the vehicles are likely to be in requisite wireless proximity for the payload data transfer.
