INTUITIVE VEHICLE CONTROL
A vehicle including a system for intuitive control of a vehicle component is disclosed. The vehicle may include the vehicle component, a sensor unit associated with the vehicle component that is configured to detect a touch command applied to the sensor unit by a user, a controller, and a drive. The controller may be operatively coupled to the sensor unit and the drive may be coupled to the vehicle component. The controller may generate a control signal based on the touch command applied to the sensor unit and may cause the drive to alter a condition of the vehicle component in response to the control signal.
VEHICLE OPERATION WITH PHYSIOLOGICAL MONITORING
A computing system associated with a vehicle can access sensor data originating from one or more sensors disposed within a vehicle and can access device data originating from a user device. The sensor data and the device data can comprise physiological data of a user of the vehicle. The computing system can determine a physiological status of the user of the vehicle based on at least the sensor data or the device data and cause the vehicle to perform one or more operations based on at least the physiological status of the user.
ID-BASED CONTROL UNIT-KEY FOB PAIRING
A method for pairing a key fob with a control unit is provided. The key fob executes an ID authenticated key agreement protocol with a pairing device based on a key fob identification to authenticate one another and to generate a first encryption key. The pairing device encrypts a control unit identification using the first encryption key. The key fob receives the encrypted control unit identification transmitted from the pairing device. The key fob then executes an ID authenticated key agreement protocol with the control unit based on the control unit identification to authenticate one another and to generate a second encryption key. The key fob then receives an operational key transmitted from the control unit that is encrypted with the second encryption key.
GLARE AND OCCLUDED VIEW COMPENSATION FOR AUTOMOTIVE AND OTHER APPLICATIONS
Often when there is a glare on a display screen the user may be able to mitigate the glare by tilting or otherwise moving the screen or changing their viewing position. However, when driving a car there are limited options for overcoming glares on the dashboard, especially when you are driving for a long distance in the same direction. Embodiments are directed to eliminating such glare. Other embodiments are related to mixed reality (MR) and filling in occluded areas.
Controls for a work machine
A compact work machine, such as a compact track loader and/or a compact utility loader, which can carry and operate a wide range of attachments while maintaining a reduced operating footprint.
Vehicle control system, head-mounted display device, and vehicle control method
The disclosure provides a vehicle control system. The vehicle control system includes a vehicle and a head-mounted display device. The vehicle is used to provide first coordinate information. The head-mounted display device is used to provide and display second coordinate information. In response to the head-mounted display device receiving the first coordinate information, the head-mounted display device matches the first coordinate information with the second coordinate information to provide third coordinate information and display an augmented image based on the third coordinate information. In response to the head-mounted display device receiving a control instruction input by a user based on the augmented image, the head-mounted display device outputs a control command to the vehicle, so that the vehicle performs a control action.
ADVANCED GATED SHIFTER FOR VEHICLE MANUAL AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION EMULATION
Systems and methods are presented herein for providing haptic feedback by a shifter assembly in an electric vehicle based on a data structure corresponding to a vehicle architecture that is different from the electric vehicle. The shifter assembly is determined by processing circuitry to be in communication with at least one control unit of the electric vehicle. Using the processing circuitry, a shifter haptic feedback data structure is retrieved from a server. A configuration of the shifter assembly, that indicates a number of slots of the shifter assembly, is identified using the processing circuitry. The shifter haptic feedback data structure is compared to the shifter assembly. Based on the comparing, the processing circuitry determines is made that the configuration of the shifter assembly includes a same number of slots as the shifter haptic feedback data structure. Haptic feedback is generated via the shifter assembly.
AUDIO PLAYBACK DEVICES FOR VEHICLE MEDIA PLAYBACK SYSTEMS
An example headrest assembly includes a headrest body defining a forward surface configured to contact a user's head or neck and an audio playback device disposed within headrest body and facing in a forward direction. The playback device includes a left audio transducer, a left waveguide in fluid communication with the left audio transducer and configured to direct audio from the left audio transducer along a left sound axis, a right audio transducer, and a right waveguide in fluid communication with the right audio transducer and configured to direct audio from the right audio transducer along a right sound axis. The left sound axis and the right sound axis diverge along the forward direction.

An agricultural work machine and a method for operation an agricultural work machine are disclosed. The agricultural work machine includes a driver's cab with an interior space spatially partially delimited by a front window and at least one side window, a driver's seat arranged in the interior space, an input device for entering input by an operator, a visualization system for visualizing information for an operator sitting on the driver's seat, and a control device which is communication with the visualization system. The control device controls the visualization system in such a way that process information relevant to the selected work process is visualized.
Active display interior vehicle surfaces
Techniques for providing a display inside a vehicle are presented. The techniques can include: providing an electrophoretic surface integrated into an internal component of the vehicle, where the electrophoretic surface is flame resistant, and where the electrophoretic surface is configured to display an image within the vehicle; and controlling the electrophoretic surface using an electronic controller communicatively coupled to the electrophoretic surface.
