Touchless Frunk Release and Directional Frunk Sensor Array System
The present disclosure provides a smart automated latch mechanism for opening a front trunk of a vehicle and a smart sensor array for detecting when the front trunk of the vehicle is at capacity. The system operates by having an electronic latch mechanism for the front trunk coupled with an infra-red sensor at the interface between the lid and the vehicle bonnet. When a change in temperature is detected in this space by the sensor, an electric motor causes the front trunk to open, removing the need for the user to actually touch the vehicle to open the front trunk. This system combines with a directional sensor array arranged inside the trunk which detects when an object is placed in front of it. The sensor array is arranged at a capacity height of the trunk, and thus allows for automated detection of when an object is in an inappropriate position, preventing damage to the vehicle from closing the front trunk lid on the object.
Vehicle control device, vehicle control method, and recording medium
A vehicle control device includes a power door control unit that: when a getting-off-intention of a user is recognized by a getting-off-intention recognizing unit, determines whether a door-opening-prohibition condition of a predetermined door is satisfied based on a surrounding situation of a vehicle recognized by a vehicle-surrounding-situation recognizing unit; and executes power-door-automatic-opening control, the power-door-automatic-opening control causing a power door to perform an opening operation when the door-opening-prohibition condition is not satisfied, the power-door-automatic-opening control prohibiting the opening operation of the power door when the door-opening-prohibition condition is satisfied.
