The present disclosure relates to a computer-implemented method for performing a system assessment, a computer program element for performing a system assessment, a computer storage media and a system comprising the computer storage media. The computer-implemented method comprises creating at least one run configuration package comprising at least a specification hierarchy, creating an application protocol interface comprising a generic code portion and an application-specific code portion, receiving an input for building an assessment environment from the run configuration package referencing an assessment application tool via the application protocol interface, and building the assessment environment based on the input. The assessment environment is capable to receive further inputs using a standardized format, modifying various aspects of the assessment, based on the information in the specification hierarchy. The specification hierarchy is linked to a plurality of specification data objects for setting the assessment environment. The generic code portion is configured to provide a standardized instruction to the application-specific code portion and the application-specific code portion is configured to modify a format of the plurality of specification data objects linked to the specification hierarchy for the assessment application tool to be utilized.

The disclosure relates to a method for synchronizing a clock-free computational node (26, 28) in a vehicle such that the clock-free computational node (26, 28) is able to perform an action at a pre-defined time. The method comprises generating a mapping between at least one current counter value received from the clock-free computational node (26, 28) and at least one current time information received from a clock unit (14). Moreover, the method comprises determining a pre-defined counter value being associated with the pre-defined time based on the mapping. Furthermore, the method comprises providing the pre-defined counter value to the clock-free computational node (26, 28). Additionally, a method for performing an action at a pre-defined time using a clock-free computational node (26, 28) is presented. Moreover, the disclosure is directed to a corresponding first computational node (12) comprising the clock unit (14) and a second computational node (26, 28) being clock-free. The disclosure also relates to a computational system (10) for a vehicle, comprising a first computational node (12) and at least one second computational node (26, 28).

A latch assembly (10) for a storage compartment in an automobile is disclosed. The latch assembly (10) includes a latch module (12₁), including a latch bolt (24), and a striker (14₁). The latch bolt (24) is moveable between an extended latched position, in which the bolt (24) axis is coaxial with a longitudinal axis (Xc) of the latch casing (22), and a retracted unlatched position, in which the bolt (24) is withdrawn into, and its axis is oblique with respect to, the latch casing (22). When in the oblique position, the latch bolt (24) is retained in the unlatched position within the latch casing (22). A spring member (26) within the latch casing (22) biases the latch bolt (24) to both extend axially from the latch casing (22), and pivotally toward the inner retaining surface of the latch casing (22). Upon closure, the bolt (24) is moved, via contact with the striker (14₁), from the withdrawn oblique retained position, and returns via spring bias to the latched extended position.

The invention relates to a method (400) for transitioning a drive mode of a vehicle (100) from an assisted drive mode (AS) to an automated drive mode (AD). The method (400) comprises: providing an assisted drive mode (AS) configured to support a driver (1000) controlling the vehicle (100) at a medium support level; receiving an activation request for activating an automated drive mode (AD) configured to control a driving of the vehicle (100) autonomously; reducing a support level (SL) to a safe assisted drive mode (ADAS) configured to support the driver (1000) at a low support level, the reduction of the support level (SL) from the assisted drive mode (AS) to the safe assisted drive mode (ADAS) comprising a first kinematic feedback; and if the activation request is successful, increasing the support level (SL) from the safe assisted drive mode (ADAS) to the automated drive mode (AD), the increase of the support level (SL) from the safe assisted drive mode (ADAS) to the automated drive mode (AD) comprising a second kinematic feedback to the driver (1000); or if the activation request fails, maintaining the safe assisted drive mode (ADAS). The invention further relates to a drive control system (200) for a vehicle (100) and a vehicle (100).

The present disclosure relates to a method of monitoring Local Interconnect Network (LIN) nodes (100, 110, 120) and a monitoring device (200) performing the method.In an aspect a method of a monitoring device (200) of monitoring a plurality of LIN buses (105, 115, 125) is provided, wherein at least one LIN node (100, 110, 120) is connected to each LIN bus (105, 115, 125), said plurality of LIN buses (105, 115, 125) being interconnected via the monitoring device (200). The method comprises detecting (S101), for each LIN bus (105), any dominant data being sent over said each LIN bus (105) by a LIN node (100) connected to said each LIN bus (105) and routing (S102) said any dominant data received by the monitoring device (200) over said each LIN bus (105) to all remaining LIN buses (115, 125) without overwriting any dominant data sent over the remaining LIN buses (115, 125).

Vehicles, steering systems, and steering assemblies of a vehicle (10) are provided in the present disclosure. According to one embodiment, a steering system (12) includes a track (16) oriented substantially in a side-to-side direction with respect to the vehicle (10).
