An apparatus of controlling a safety power window of a vehicle and a method thereof to not injure the body caught in a window frame, as well as to prevent a malfunction of the safety power window, by adaptively setting an operation reference value of the safety power window, may include a learning device that deep-learns a model which predicts an operation reference value of the safety power window provided in the vehicle, based on driving information of the vehicle, a sensor that collects the driving information of the vehicle, and a controller that obtains the operation reference value of the safety power window corresponding to current driving information of the vehicle by use of the model on which the deep learning is completed, and controls the safety power window according to the operation reference value of the safety power window.

A door operating system, including a control unit and at least one sensor device, the system configured to operate a door from a closed state into an opened state. The sensor device is configured to observe an observation area and provide image data to the control unit, which is configured to receive and process the observation image data. Processing the observation image data includes detecting an individual inside the observation area, extracting pose information and/or viewing direction information corresponding to the individual, determining, based on the pose information and/or the viewing direction information, a probability value representing the probability that the individual intends to pass the door, and determining whether the probability value is higher than a probability threshold value, wherein the door operating system operates the door from a closed state in an opened state if the control unit determines that the probability value is higher than a probability threshold value.

Tubular drive apparatus for a panel of a vehicle, preferably a tailgate or door, comprising two tubes which are inserted into one another in a telescopic manner, the free ends of which are each hinged to the panel of the vehicle and to the vehicle itself, the tubes being capable of being separated from one another and brought together by means of a spindle which is driven by an electric motor and comprises a spindle nut arranged thereon, in order to thus open and close the panel, the electric motor, the spindle, the spindle nut and an electronic circuit board comprising sensor elements being arranged within the tubular drive apparatus, and a power electronics unit for actuating the electric motor also being arranged on the electronic circuit board.

A system for automatically closing a trunk lid of a vehicle. The system comprises a trunk sensor system configured for detecting items in a luggage trunk, a trunk lid actuator for automatic closing of the trunk lid, and a control unit connected to the trunk sensor system and to the trunk lid actuator. The control unit is arranged for statistically determining, based on a set of observations of a trunk interior space by means of the trunk sensor system in connection with termination of a set of vehicle travels, one or more items or combination of items that are frequently remaining in the luggage trunk after completed travel, while preferably taking into account the one or more items stored in the luggage trunk during the travel, detecting opening of the trunk lid, detecting current items in the luggage trunk by means of the trunk sensor system, and controlling the trunk lid actuator for automatic closing of the trunk lid when the current items correspond to said one or more items or combination of items that are frequently remaining in the luggage trunk after a journey. The disclosure also relates to a corresponding computer-implemented method for automatically closing a trunk lid of a vehicle luggage trunk.

A method for actuating an access system of a motor vehicle involves a camera arrangement detecting at least one foot of a person. An orientation of the foot is determined and based on the determined orientation, a line of sight of the person is then determined. When the line of sight is directed towards at least one tailgate and/or door of the motor vehicle, at least one tailgate and/or door is unlocked and/or automatically actuated to open by the access system. When, however, the line of sight is not directed towards at least one tailgate and/or door, tailgates and/or doors are locked and/or automatically actuated to close by the access system.

A method for opening a door of a motor vehicle is disclosed herein. The method includes scanning for a user terminal configured to open a door of the motor vehicle, and determining a trajectory of the user terminal when a distance between the user terminal and the motor vehicle is less than a minimum distance. The method further includes comparing the determined trajectory with at least one predefined trajectory, and opening the door of the motor vehicle when the determined trajectory matches a trajectory of the at least one predefined trajectory. The method is implemented by a motor vehicle including one or more interfaces configured to scan for the user terminal, and a controller in communication with the one or more interfaces.

A door operating system including a control unit and at least one sensor device, the system configured to operate a door from a closed state into an opened state. The sensor device is configured to observe an observation area and provide image data to the control unit, which is configured to receive and process the observation image data. Processing the data includes detecting an individual inside the observation area, extracting pose information and/or viewing direction information corresponding to the individual, determining, based on the pose information and/or the viewing direction information, a probability value representing the probability that the individual intends to pass the door, and determining whether the probability value is higher than a probability threshold value, wherein the door operating system operates the door from a closed state in an opened state if the control unit determines that the probability value is higher than a probability threshold value.

Systems, methods and non-transitory computer readable media for controlling vehicles in response to outriggers are provided. In some examples, images captured using image sensors from an environment of a first vehicle may be obtained. The images may be analyzed to detect a second vehicle. The images may be analyzed to determine that the second vehicle is connected to an outrigger. The images may be analyzed to determine a state of the outrigger. The first vehicle may be caused to initiate an action responding to the second vehicle based on the determined state of the outrigger. For example, in response to a first determined state of the outrigger, the first vehicle may be caused to initiate the action responding to the second vehicle, and in response to a second determined state of the outrigger, causing the first vehicle to initiate the action may be avoided.
