An information processing apparatus includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire an image captured by an imaging unit provided in a hinge door of a vehicle and a door opening angle indicating an angle at which the hinge door is opened from a closed state when the image is captured; a correction unit configured to correct an error of the door opening angle acquired by the acquisition unit; and a specification unit configured to specify a three-dimensional position of an obstacle with respect to the vehicle using corresponding points of the obstacle present around the hinge door, which are determined based on a plurality of images captured by the imaging unit from a plurality of viewpoints with different door opening angles acquired by the acquisition unit, and the door opening angles corrected by the correction unit and associated with the respective plurality of images.

A drive device for adjusting a vehicle assembly an electromotive adjustment drive for adjusting the vehicle assembly and a control device for controlling the adjustment drive the control device actuates the adjustment drive in an automatic mode for adjusting the vehicle assembly with a predetermined rotational speed and in a servo mode for providing a supporting force during a manual adjustment of the vehicle assembly by a user. The control device includes a speed regulation module for determining a first setpoint current value in dependence on a rotational speed of the adjustment drive, a servo regulation module for determining a second setpoint current value in dependence on a load acting on the vehicle assembly and a current regulation module for regulating a current of the adjustment drive.

An actuator assembly of an actuation system for a closure member of a vehicle is provided. The actuator assembly includes an actuator housing including a sensor housing. The actuator assembly also includes an electric motor disposed in the actuator housing and configured to rotate a driven shaft operably coupled to an extensible member that is coupled to one of a body or the closure member for opening or closing the closure member. The actuator assembly also includes an actuator controller disposed in the sensor housing of the actuator housing and coupled to electric motor and an accelerometer configured to sense movement of the closure member. The actuator controller is configured to detect the movement of the closure member using the accelerometer. The actuator controller then controls the opening or closing of the closure member based on the movement of the closure member using the electric motor.

The unmanned vehicle for delivering an article, includes a housing portion for housing the article, the housing portion being provided with an openable and closable door, the door being closeable on a receiving surface of the article. Then, the unmanned vehicle identifies a direction of wind blown onto the unmanned vehicle; and on the basis of the identified direction of the wind, suppresses closing of the door, opened when the unmanned vehicle is stopped, due to an influence of the wind.

A system for controlling motion of a door of a vehicle is provided. The door is moveable between an open position and a closed position. The system includes a power actuator for moving the door and an inclination sensor for detecting at least one of an inclination or a roll of the vehicle. A controller is configured to determine the at least one of the inclination or the roll using the inclination sensor. The controller determines a maximum door open angle of the door based on the at least one of the inclination or the roll whereat the power actuator can move the door toward the closed position and beyond which the power actuator is not able to move the door toward the closed position. The controller is also configured to control movement of the door using the power actuator in view of the maximum door open angle.

A vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft provides transportation to users of a network system. The network system may include multiple aircraft or other types of vehicles to provide multi-model transportation. An aircraft may include a fuselage, a truss coupled to the fuselage, and multiple distributed electric propellers coupled to the truss. The distributed electric propellers may be positioned on at least two different planes. The fuselage may include a cabin having one or more seats for the passengers arranged in a configuration that has a compact footprint, provides legroom, provides visibility to surroundings of the aircraft, or facilitates convenient ingress or egress of passengers. The aircraft may open a port cabin door and starboard cabin door for simultaneous ingress or egress of passengers.

A connectivity module of a vehicle includes Bluetooth and ultra-wideband radios. A processor operatively connected to the Bluetooth radio and the ultra-wideband radio operates the connectivity module in an anchor mode or a tag mode based at least in part upon a proximity of the vehicle to a movable barrier operator. When in the anchor mode the connectivity module is configured to initiate communication between a user device and both the Bluetooth radio and the ultra-wideband radio. When in the tag mode, the connectivity module is configured to respond to the movable barrier operator initiating communication between the movable barrier operator and both the Bluetooth radio and the ultra-wideband radio.
