Cargo shelf for delivery vehicle
A vehicle includes a chassis, a cargo body coupled to the chassis, a cargo support member, and a shelf assembly. The cargo support member is mounted to an outer wall of the cargo body and is disposed within the cargo body. The shelf assembly includes a tray and a strap. The tray is hingedly coupled to the cargo support member. The strap is coupled to the tray and the cargo support member. The strap is adjustable to reposition a forward end of the tray.
ADJUSTABLE AUTOMATIC WINDOW TINTING FOR AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES
The present disclosure provides a method comprising receiving a rideshare request from a user, the rideshare request including a destination; transporting the passenger to the destination using an autonomous vehicle (AV) having a plurality of windows comprising electrically switchable smart glass; during the transporting, monitoring a metric related to arrival of the AV at the destination; and untinting the windows when the monitored metric has a prescribed relationship to a threshold value.

Composite pane with electrically switchable functional element in thermoplastic intermediate layer
A composite pane with an electrically switchable functional element, includes first and second panes, a thermoplastic intermediate layer joining the first pane to the second pane and including a first laminating film with a thickness of at least 0.3 mm and a second laminating film with a thickness of at most 70 μm. The first laminating film is inserted substantially areally between the first and second panes. The second laminating film is inserted exclusively in the region of the at least one functional element and protrudes with an overhang x of at least 1 mm and at most 10 mm beyond the outer edges of the functional element. The direct layer sequence in the region of an electrically switchable functional element consists of the first pane, the second laminating film, the electrically switchable functional element, optionally, a further second laminating film, the first laminating film, and the second pane.

Repositionable seat for delivery vehicle
A vehicle includes a chassis, a cab coupled to the chassis, a cargo body coupled to the chassis and positioned rearward of the cab, a seating unit, and a mail tray. The cab includes a first floor portion defining a first interface at a first position within the cab. The cargo body includes a second floor portion defining a second interface at a second position within the cargo body. The seating unit includes a frame assembly that engages with the first interface and the second interface such that the seating unit is selectively repositionable between the first position and the second position. The mail tray is selectively positionable in the first position when the seating unit is in the second position.
FOLDING SLANTED BACK SOFT TOP ASSEMBLY FOR SUV
An articulating slanted back soft top assembly for 4-door and 2-door SUVs. A fabric cover is supported by a frame that is at least partially articulatable from at least a closed position to at least one open air position. The frame includes at least one forward fabric support bow member and at least one rearward fabric support bow member. The rear fabric support bow member being positioned when in the closed position in a manner which allows the fabric to clear a sport bar or “roll bar” member of a vehicle in the closed position such that a rear portion of the top is angled from the vertical when viewing the vehicle from the side.
Laminated glazing
A laminated glazing includes a first glass layer, a second glass layer, an interlayer, and an optical coating layer. The interlayer is between the first glass layer and the second glass layer and has a first textured surface with a texture. The optical coating layer is between the interlayer and the second glass layer and includes an optical coating material. One or more of the texture or the optical coating material is different between an outer region and a central region of the laminated glazing.

Door apparatus
A multi-piece door assembly including a first door portion and a second door portion, which are removable to create a partially open-air experience or fully open-air experience. A pin pocket design is provided for selectively attaching the first door portion to a variety of different types of second door portions. A blow-out tab is provided to keep the multi-piece door assembly from blowing outwardly away from the vehicle with the increase of internal pressures at high speeds or crosswind situations.
