A vehicle system, includes an upper liftgate of a split liftgate assembly, a lower liftgate of the split liftgate assembly, and a privacy panel assembly that extends between the upper liftgate and the lower liftgate. Another vehicle system includes a hanger bracket assembly configured to engage at least one hinge assembly of a vehicle, a liftgate assembly pivotably connected to the vehicle, and a privacy panel that is coupled to the hanger bracket assembly and the liftgate. A shielding method includes securing a privacy panel assembly to an upper liftgate of a split liftgate assembly of a vehicle, and securing the privacy panel assembly to a lower liftgate of the split liftgate assembly.

The vehicle body includes: a pair of left and right rear side members extending in a front-rear direction of the vehicle body, and a rear bumper beam which extends in a left-right direction of the vehicle body to be coupled to each rear side member at both ends, and bulges rearward toward a center of the left-right direction. The rear bumper beam has an intermediate body extending in the left-right direction at the center of the left-right direction, and inclined bodies which are displaced forward as expanding to the left and right toward the respectively corresponding rear side member from both ends of the intermediate body. A rearward surface of the intermediate body includes a vertical surface, and an inclined surface which is continuous from at least either an upper end or a lower end of the vertical surface and is displaced forward as separating from the vertical surface.

A modular movable robot includes a lower plate provided with a traveling unit, an upper plate spaced above the lower plate, a plurality of lower supporting frames vertically elongated between the lower plate and the upper plate, a top plate spaced above the upper plate, a plurality of upper supporting frames vertically elongated between the upper plate and the top plate, and a housing surrounding edges of the lower plate, the upper plate, and the top plate. A longitudinal length of the housing is longer than a horizontal width of the housing.

A panel includes a standoff formed from a wall extended in a height direction from an exterior surface of the panel. The wall is formed from a first wall section and a second wall section that is offset from the first wall section in a lateral direction of the panel along the exterior surface of the panel. A stopper hole is defined in the panel and extended in the height direction, in parallel with the first wall section and the second wall section, from the exterior surface of the panel. The stopper hole receives a stopper. The stopper hole is interposed between and separates the first wall section and the second wall section along the exterior surface of the panel, or is offset from the wall of the standoff in the lateral direction of the panel along the exterior surface of the panel.

A vehicle console includes a trim ring disposed over a periphery of a housing. The trim ring includes a polymeric material and is electrically conductive and grounded. A proximity switch assembly is retained in the housing. The proximity switch assembly includes a proximity sensor proximate a sensing pad for generating an activation field. The sensing pad is proximate the trim ring.

Energy absorption at the time of load input is improved with high mass efficiency. A hollow member includes: a hollow metal member having a bending induction portion in a portion thereof in a longitudinal direction; and a resin material which is disposed in close contact with the metal member on both sides of the bending induction portion in the longitudinal direction, and is disposed in at least a part of a range of less than ⅚ of a cross-sectional height of the metal member from an end portion of the bending induction portion toward an outside in the longitudinal, in which an amount of the resin material per length in the longitudinal direction is larger on the outside of the bending induction portion than on an inside of the bending induction portion.

An air-conditioning control ECU is an air-conditioning control apparatus mounted in an automated driving vehicle, and includes an occupant determining section that determines whether an occupant is in the automated driving vehicle, and a window operation controlling section that executes a window operation air-conditioning control for performing cabin air-conditioning when a determination result of the occupant determining section indicates the automated driving vehicle is in an unmanned traveling state.
