Abstract: A method for operating a motor vehicle and a lidar sensor system mounted to a motor vehicle. A lidar sensor mounted onboard the vehicle is operated to detect an object, and to read a nano-fingerprint on the object. The nano-fingerprint may be a passive and invisible structure that can be read out with a laser scanner as a nano-barcode, a nano-QR code, or similar. A detection module extracts, from the sensor data, position data related to the object. The position data may be used to calculate a velocity and/or acceleration of a moving object, such as a second vehicle. A scanning module extracts, from the sensor data, object data encoded in the nano-fingerprint and utilizes the object data to identify the object. A control unit controls operation (such as steering, braking, etc.) of the vehicle utilizing the position data and the object data.

Abstract: A device and a method for assisting an automatic/automated maneuvering process, such as a parking maneuver, of a motor vehicle. The automated maneuvering assistance system plans a movement path for the vehicle, determines a recommended position outside of the vehicle from which a vehicle operator can effectively visually monitor the vehicle following the movement path; and communicates the recommended position to the operator. The recommend monitoring position may be communicated to the operator by the vehicle lights, such as by projecting a light beam onto a ground surface adjacent to the vehicle at the recommended position, or by transmitting data identifying the recommended position to a wireless communication device operated by the operator. Initiation of the movement of the vehicle along the path may require a confirmation that the operator is in the recommended position.

Abstract: A method of operating an adaptive cruise control (ACC) system of a host vehicle includes operating a sensor onboard the host vehicle to determine respective dynamic state variables of a leading vehicle forward of the host vehicle and of a plurality of third vehicles in the vicinity of the host vehicle, and using a swarm algorithm to process the dynamic state variables of the third vehicles to predict future movements thereof Acceleration/deceleration of the host is controlled by the ACC based upon the variables and the predicted future movements of the third vehicles. The third vehicles may be sub-divided into first and second and respective first and second swarm algorithms applied thereto and later combined to predict future movements of the third vehicles. Third vehicles located ahead of the leading vehicle may be detected using radar signals that are reflected off of the road surface beneath the leading vehicle.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for modifying the configuration of a driving assistance system of a motor vehicle includes, during operation in an autopilot mode, detecting that a vehicle driver makes a control input counter to vehicle control directed by the driving assistance system. Data relating to driving conditions existing when the driver made the control input is logged onboard the vehicle and transmitted to an off-board central communications platform. The central communications platform creates a modified configuration for the driving assistance system based on the data and re-transmits it back to the vehicle where it is loaded into the driving assistance system. The modified configuration causes the driving assistance system to automatically control the vehicle in a manner consistent with the control input if the driving conditions reoccur. The modified configuration may also be transmitted to a driving assistance system of one or more other motor vehicles.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling access to a motor vehicle using heartbeat rhythm patterns. An electronic camera installed in or on the vehicle images a skin surface of a person seeking access to the vehicle. A chronological change in coloration or swelling of the imaged skin surface indicates the person's heartbeat rhythm, and this rhythm is compared to stored reference data of authorized persons. The person is allowed access if the detected rhythm corresponds to the reference data. The allowed access to the vehicle may be the unlocking and/or opening of a door and or the starting of an engine. The method is initiated if the door latch is actuated, if a person is recognized in the vicinity of the vehicle, or if a near field communication occurs, for example, by means of capacitive sensors. The electronic camera is preferably a LIDAR camera.

Abstract: A method to analyze of a vehicle's surroundings is specified. The method includes: arranging a first sensor group with at least two radar sensors on a vehicle, emitting radar waves using the radar sensors into the vehicle environment, reflecting the emitted radar waves at objects in the vehicle's environment, receiving the reflected radar waves using the radar sensors, identifying information about the vehicle's environment from the received radar waves and outputting the radar information. In order to improve the analysis of the carriageway environment, the radar sensors are arranged on the vehicle such that the emitted and received radar waves interfere. Radar information is obtained by taking account of the resulting interference data. In addition, a vehicle apparatus to analyze a vehicle's surroundings.
