An in-vehicle life detection system and detection method thereof are provided. The system includes a processor, an electromagnetic wave detection module, and a warning module. The method includes following steps: vehicle condition identifying step, life form detecting step, and warning step. Upon receiving an engine off signal and a driver absence signal, the processor emits a detection activation signal, activating the electromagnetic wave detection module to emit an electromagnetic wave for detecting a life form. When the life form is detected, the warning module sends a warning signal, indicating that the life form is left in the vehicle when the vehicle is in the engine off status with the doors closed. Thus, the tragedy of a life form remaining inside the vehicle incapable of calling for help is avoided.

A motor vehicle door lock which is equipped with a locking mechanism that consists essentially of a rotary latch and a pawl. Also, at least one actuating lever chain for opening the locking mechanism in an emergency is provided. In addition, a control element which blocks the actuating lever chain indirectly or directly in normal operation and releases it in the event of an emergency, is provided. The control element is equipped with an electric motor having an output element.

A latch system for vehicle doors includes a powered latch including a powered actuator that is configured to unlatch the powered latch. An interior unlatch input feature such as an unlatch switch can be actuated by a user to provide an unlatch request. The system may include a controller that is operably connected to the powered actuator of the powered latch. The controller is configured such that it does not unlatch the powered latch if a vehicle speed is greater than a predefined value unless the interior latch feature is actuated at least two times according to predefined criteria.

An opening/closing body control device for vehicles that comprises a lock device and a control device. The control device comprises: a reverse control unit that executes reverse control that rotates a rotating member in reverse, after closing control has been completed; and a position detection unit that detects the rotation position of the rotating member, on the basis of the on/off state of a neutral switch. The position detection unit is capable of detecting whether the rotation position of the rotating member is in a closed area, a release area, or a neutral area. The reverse control unit does not execute reverse control if the rotation position of the rotating member is in the neutral area, when the closing control has been completed.

The invention relates to an actuating device (10) for triggering a function of a vehicle (1) by a user, having a cover element (11) for a vehicle part (2) of the vehicle (1) with a cover inner side (11.1) and a cover outer side (11.2), an electronics unit (12) having a sensor unit (20) for detecting an actuation action (200) of the user for triggering the function of the vehicle (1), an electronics outer side (12.2), and an electronics inner side (12.1) facing the electronics outer side (12.2). Furthermore, the invention relates to a vehicle (1), and to a method (100).

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for detecting whether an object is approaching an autonomous vehicle when a passenger is about to exit the autonomous vehicle, determining a speed and type of the object that is approaching the autonomous vehicle, determining whether the object will enter an exit zone when the passenger enters the exit zone based on the speed and the type of the object that is approaching the autonomous vehicle, and preventing the passenger from exiting the autonomous vehicle based on the determining of whether the object will enter the exit zone when the passenger enters the exit zone.
