A vehicle sanitizer system includes a sanitizer emitter member, selectively moveable between a stowed position in a compartment of a vehicle cabin and a deployed position out of the compartment; a sensor module to detect an interior of a vehicle cabin as sensor data; and a vehicle sanitizer module, that includes one or more processors to execute a set of instructions that cause the vehicle sanitizer module to: conduct, in response to the detection, an analysis of the sensor data; identify, in response to the analysis, one or more target interior surfaces in the vehicle cabin to be sanitized; and cause, via the sanitizer emitter member and in response to the identification, generation of water vapor content into the vehicle cabin, one or more sanitizer streams directed at the identified one or more target interior surfaces.

The disclosure relates to systems and methods for treating a vehicle with radiation. The system generally comprises a being detection system, one or more sanitizing lights, a surface tinting means, and at least one processor. Sanitizing radiation is emitted onto one or more surfaces of the vehicle, as well as the air of the vehicle to sanitize the vehicle. The processor allows and being detection system allow for safe sanitizations to be conducted inside the vehicle. The vehicle may be treated with safe UV-C light and/or unsafe UV-C light, depending on the presence of beings in the vehicle.

A child safety seat is provided and includes a base, a seat body and a notifying system. The seat body is movable relative to the base between a first position and a second position. The notifying system includes at least one actuated device disposed on one of the base and the seat body, an actuating component disposed on another one of the base and the seat body, and a notifying device electrically connected to the at least one actuated device. When the seat body reaches at least one of the first position and the second position, the actuating component actuates the at least one actuated device, so that the at least one actuated device is actuated to generate different types of actuating signals. The notifying device generates different types of notifying signals when the at least one actuated device generates the different types of actuating signals.

There is provided a conveyance seat that suppresses the deterioration of the sensitivity of a load sensor to an input load even when a heater wire and the load sensor are disposed to overlap each other. A conveyance seat includes a seat cushion that supports buttocks of an occupant; a seat back connected to the seat cushion to serve as a backrest for the occupant; a load sensor provided at the seat cushion or at a portion of the seat back; a heater wire disposed on an occupant side with respect to the load sensor; and an intermediate member that positions the heater wire. The intermediate member is disposed between the load sensor and the heater wire.

In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, a system is provided that includes a sensor system configured to generate sensor data associated with a seat of a vehicle; and a processor communicatively coupled to the sensor system and configured to determine, from the sensor data, a baseline position of a child seat sitting on the seat of the vehicle, determine, from the sensor data, a displacement of the child seat from the baseline position, and selectively generate notification data based on the displacement.

A child safety seat alarm system includes a child safety seat, an alarming device, a detection mechanism and a driving portion. The alarming device is configured to receive a signal and output an alarm signal. The detection mechanism includes a detector and a trigger mechanism. The detector is configured to detect whether states of the alarming device and the detector meet a predetermined criterion. The detector is in a non-working state when the trigger mechanism is in an open state, and the detector is in a working state when the trigger mechanism is in a closed state. When a child is seated in the child safety seat, the driving portion is operated to switch the trigger mechanism from the open state to the closed state so as to switch the detector to the working state. When the detector detects the states of the alarming device and the detector meet the predetermined criterion, the alarming device outputs the alarm signal for alarming. The child safety seat alarm system can remind a user whether or not a child is left in a car for preventing a dangerous scenario where the child is left in the car.

A driver assistance system for vehicles, which is capable of preventing driver carelessness from causing a vehicle accident when a vehicle stops while traveling, includes a vehicle sensor unit configured to detect driver state data, a driver assistance unit operated to assist a driver when driver carelessness about vehicle driving is detected when a vehicle stops while traveling, and a control unit configured to identify whether the driver is careless based on the driver state data when the vehicle stops while traveling, and to operate the driver assistance unit when the driver carelessness is detected, preventing the vehicle from driving.

A device and a method for controlling a seat of a vehicle includes a detector for detecting vehicle environment information, a vibration generator mounted on the vehicle seat to generate the seat vibration, and a controller electrically connected to the detector and the vibration generator, and the controller detects seat environment information through the detector, determines a weight and a sitting posture of a user seated in the vehicle seat based on the seat environment information, determines a vibration pattern and a vibration excitation force based on the weight and the sitting posture of the user, and generates the seat vibration by controlling the vibration generator based on the determined vibration pattern and vibration excitation force.

An apparatus for recognizing a face is provided. The apparatus includes a camera configured to obtain a partial-face image of a passenger, and a controller configured to learn a boarding condition of a user and recognize the user based on the partial-face image of the passenger when a current boarding condition of the passenger satisfies the learned boarding condition.

An assembly for an engine includes a control module including a controller operable to control at least certain aspects of the operation of the engine, a display including an input connected to the controller, and a wireless receiver connected to the controller. The wireless receiver is arranged to receive a signal from a wireless device to cause the controller to send an engine start signal to cause starting of the engine and wherein the input when actuated causes the controller to send an engine start signal to cause starting of the engine. In at least some implementations, no keyed ignition switch is provided to start the engine and the engine is started only via the wireless device or the input.
