A system for interactions with an autonomous vehicle includes a proprioceptive device; and a controller. The controller is configured to: detect a first condition external to the autonomous vehicle; generate a first proprioceptive output in response to the first condition, the first proprioceptive output changing a shape of the proprioceptive device; receive a first input force from the proprioceptive device; determine a first user input based on the first input force; and, based on the first user input, cause the autonomous vehicle to perform a navigation action.

The present invention is a power window sync switch for the windows of a vehicle that permits controlling all windows by a single active home or main control window switch. It permits the driver to move all window panels in the vehicle to the same position at the same time. The power window sync switch sends a signal to a micro-processor within the switch to indicate that the window position selected via the actuated switch is to be applied to all window panels simultaneously. The micro-processor within the switch may then proceed to actuate all window lift motors within the vehicle, causing movement of all window panels to the appropriate positions.

An input apparatus for a vehicle is provided with a plurality of sensor electrodes; and a controller is configured to determine a capacitance reference value of the input apparatus based on information about sensor values collected from a subset of sensor electrodes, which is randomly selected from the plurality of sensor electrodes.

The invention relates to a system (10) for controlling industrial or all-terrain vehicle functions, which comprises data processing means (20), such as a computer, and a plurality of devices (10a-10g) for controlling industrial or all-terrain vehicle functions. The control devices are arranged in a network with the data processing means (20) according to a master-slave model, and each control device comprises at least one first control member (3a) sensitive to contact and connectors (2), a computing circuit (1) with at least one data processing unit (MC), a memory in which is stored a unique identifier associated with said control device, and at least one first control state visualization member (4a). The data processing means (20) are configured to transmit to each identified control device (10a-10g) a request to obtain a feedback of information from the associated processing unit.

An electronic apparatus disposed in a vehicle is provided. The electronic apparatus includes an input device including a body configured to be rotatable and pushable and a display disposed on the body; and a processor configured to acquire profile data of a user including preset information for function of the vehicle, control the display to display basic user interface (UI) corresponding to the function of the vehicle based on the acquired profile data of the user, and control a function of the vehicle corresponding to the basic UI in response to receiving an input on the input device.

Generally, a switch system for a vehicle including one or more switches electrically coupled to an electrical power distribution module each switch operable to corresponding activate or deactivate one or more accessory devices. In particular, a retrofit switch system including a switch assembly configured to insert within fascia panel pocket of a fascia panel within a vehicle and having one or more switches electrically coupled to an electrical power distribution module each switch operable to corresponding activate or deactivate one or more accessory devices.

The present disclosure relates to an automotive transmission, and more particularly, to an automotive transmission capable of reducing a space required for a gear shift operation and preventing an erroneous operation. The automotive transmission includes a shift operation unit including a plurality of touch operation units, a shift operation detector configured to detect a touch operation on one of the plurality of touch operation units, and a controller configured to determine a shift stage based on the detected touch operation. The plurality of touch operation units include a first touch operation unit configured to enable selection of one of a plurality of shift stages in one of a plurality of operation modes, and a second touch operation unit configured to operate in one of the plurality of operation modes based on an operation state of the first touch operation unit.

There is provided an operation device. An operation knob rotatable on an axial line, configured to include: a cylindrical base member extending in an axial direction; a cylindrical outer member disposed on an outer side in a radial direction of the base member; and an inner member disposed on an inner side in the radial direction of the base member. The cylindrical outer member has protruding parts extending inward in the radial direction and abutting on the inner member via through-holes formed through the base member in the radial direction.

A vehicle control lever which has a moveable control panel provided on the lever. The control panel has a plurality of operating elements to control different vehicle functions, wherein the configuration of the operating elements can be re-assigned to control different vehicle functions based on the position of the control panel on the control lever.

An operation input device includes a detection unit configured to sense a detection value changing according to a distance to a detection target object and a controller configured to detect input operation in a case where the detection value is equal to or greater than a first threshold. The controller stands by in a sleep mode in which a power consumption is reduced as compared to a normal standby mode in a case where the detection value is less than a second threshold, which is smaller than the first threshold, as a threshold indicating that the distance between the detection target object and the detection unit is equal to or shorter than a second distance longer than the first distance, and stands by in the normal standby mode in a case where the detection value is equal to or greater than the second threshold.
