Vehicle Information API - Vision - Parking

This specification defines the APIs for three domains: Vision, Parking and Electric/hybrid vehicle. Use cases of the vision and the parking interfaces are not defined currently. A use case of the electric vehicle is the implementation of applications that show information such as battery level or that manages the charging, the preconditioning, ...

Introduction

TBD

Those three categories need to be more clearly defined. It will help determine data elements fall within them. Vision system and parking seems not very clear in regards with Driving safety where some functions are also related to parking and vision. It is clear that certain elements could fall within multiple categories depending on how one might want to classify them. Vision is much more than only lane departure warning. Electric vehicle category should be renamed in order to cover alternate power trains (hybrid, range extenders,etc)

Use Cases for Vision interfaces

To warn when the vehicle goes on another lane (Lane departure warning function)
To warn in case of an danger (vehicle, pedestrian, animals, stop sign, red light, ...)
To record the scene before and after an accident (for insurance or testimony)
To improve vision in the dark

Use Cases for Parking interfaces

To be informed in case of intrusion in or around the vehicle.
To be informed of the parking brake status.

Use Cases for Electric Vehicle interfaces

To see current state of the battery level, remaining time before full charging, ...
To check if the charging is plugged or unplugged.
