The remote system includes a vehicle equipped with a camera and a remote terminal having a display. The vehicle and the remote terminal are connected via a communication network. The vehicle generates synthesized video in which moving object video changing over time is synthesized with camera video captured by the camera, and transmits the synthesized video to the remote terminal. The remote terminal displays the synthesized video on the display, detects fixation of video displayed on the display based on a change in the moving object video included in the synthesized video, and outputs an abnormality signal in response to detection of the fixation.
The vehicle control device is a vehicle control device that executes autopilot control of a vehicle for securing a lateral distance between an object 8 existing within a predetermined distance from the driving lane and in front of the vehicle outside the driving lane of the vehicle that is the autonomous vehicle. The vehicle control device includes a type determination unit that determines a type of an object based on a detected result of a front sensor mounted on the vehicle, and a driving control unit that changes a target lateral speed in the autopilot control according to the type of the object.
A solar charging system mounted on a vehicle, comprising: a solar panel; a drive battery used for driving the vehicle; an auxiliary battery for supplying electric power to an in-vehicle device operating during parking; and a control unit for controlling electric power of the solar panel, the drive battery, and the auxiliary battery, wherein the control unit controls, during parking, a charging process for supplying generated electric power of the solar panel to the drive battery and a discharging process for supplying electric power of the drive battery to an auxiliary system including the auxiliary battery and the in-vehicle device so as not to be executed at the same time.
A cooling ECU for a vehicle including a high-temperature-side coolant circuit that circulates high-temperature-side coolant by a high-temperature-side water pump, and an airbag ECU that detects collision stops the high-temperature-side water pump when the collision is detected by the airbag ECU and the high-temperature-side coolant is equal to or higher than a first predetermined temperature determined based on the boiling point of the water.
A server that distributes software, includes one or more processors configured to: classify a plurality of vehicles that is software distribution targets into a first vehicle and a second vehicle; and prioritize software distribution to the second vehicle over software distribution to the first vehicle. The first vehicle is configured to wirelessly communicate with the server, and receive the software distributed by the server directly from the server. The second vehicle is configured to communicate with mobile equipment that wirelessly communicates with the server, and receive the software distributed by the server via the mobile equipment.
A battery mounting structure of a frame vehicle, which supports a battery pack by a pair of right and left side frames extending in the vehicle front-rear direction and provided in the frame vehicle, includes: a plurality of lateral members extending in the vehicle width direction and bridging the pair of right and left side frames; a longitudinal member supported by the plurality of lateral members so as to extend in the vehicle front-rear direction at an intermediate position of the side frames; and a support member that supports the battery pack such that a plurality of longitudinal members are provided at intervals in the vehicle front-rear direction and a gap in the vertical direction is generated between the plurality of longitudinal members. The battery pack is connected to the side frame via a rubber bush.
H01M 50/249 - Mountings; Secondary casings or frames; Racks, modules or packs; Suspension devices; Shock absorbers; Transport or carrying devices; Holders specially adapted for aircraft or vehicles, e.g. cars or trains
H01M 50/264 - Mountings; Secondary casings or frames; Racks, modules or packs; Suspension devices; Shock absorbers; Transport or carrying devices; Holders with fastening means, e.g. locks for cells or batteries, e.g. straps, tie rods or peripheral frames

STORAGE ABNORMALITY DETECTION DEVICE, STORAGE ABNORMALITY DETECTION METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM
A storage controller performs a storage write operation, and stores being unable to write due to memory cell deterioration in cases in which bit flips uncorrectable by an ECC have been detected a predetermined number of times or more for each predetermined volume written and also writing of a TBW or greater has been confirmed.
A radiator support upper cover that covers an upper portion of a radiator is provided over the upper portion of the radiator. The radiator support upper cover includes a front cover member. The upper cover member covers a portion of the upper portion of the radiator on a vehicle front side. The front cover member is provided with a plurality of through holes penetrating the front cover member in a vehicle up-down direction. A through hole located on the vehicle rear side is formed at a position further on an upper side in the vehicle up-down direction than a through hole located on the vehicle front side.
A method for managing a remote service for mobile objects is provided. The method includes the step of determining, when a request for close of a business of the remote service is received, whether or not the request for close is to be accepted. The service business includes a first business which affects travel efficiency of an object for which the remote service is provided and a second business which does not affect the travel efficiency. In the step of determining the request for close, when the request for close is a request for close of the second business, a determination is made as to whether or not a start of the first business to the object of the second business is expected. In addition, when it is determined that a start of the first business is expected, acceptance of the request for close of the second business is rejected.
An information processing method that is executed by an information processing device configured to calculate a feature relating to driving by a driver and transmit configured to information on the feature to outside includes specifying whether a current situation is a predetermined situation, calculating information on the predetermined situation as the feature when the information processing device specifies the predetermined situation, statistically quantifying the feature, and transmitting the statistically quantified feature to outside.
