APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING A VEHICLE AND A METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17861344 titled 'APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING A VEHICLE AND A METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an apparatus for controlling a vehicle that includes a battery controller, a driving controller, and a notification device. The battery controller obtains state information of a battery, calculates the remaining energy of the battery, and determines if the energy is excessively consumed. The driving controller obtains the remaining energy and route information, calculates the remaining driving distance, and determines a fuel efficiency deterioration section.
- The apparatus includes a battery controller, driving controller, and notification device.
- The battery controller obtains state information of a battery.
- The battery controller calculates the remaining energy of the battery.
- The battery controller determines if the energy of the battery is excessively consumed.
- The driving controller obtains the remaining energy and route information.
- The driving controller calculates the remaining driving distance.
- The driving controller determines a fuel efficiency deterioration section.
