Disclosed is a front obstacle alerting system comprising an obstacle-side signal emitting device and a vehicle-side alerting device, wherein the obstacle-side signal emitting device is a signal emitting element of a front obstacle and emits a directional ultrasonic wave toward a rear side of the front obstacle, and the vehicle-side alerting device is disposed in or on a vehicle and correspondingly outputs an alerting signal according to the directional ultrasonic wave received from a front side of the vehicle.

A vehicle display system is provided in a vehicle. The vehicle display system includes a first display device and a second display device. The first display device is configured to emit a light pattern toward a road surface outside the vehicle. The second display device is located inside the vehicle and is configured to display an image indicating the light pattern as viewed from above.

A method comprising: (a) heating a light module of a vehicle with a heater; (b) monitoring a temperature of the light module; (c) activating a communication sequence; and (d) performing the communication sequence so that a message is conveyed between a controller of the light module and a controller of the vehicle.

A terrestrial vehicle lighting module which includes an electroluminescent source including at least one electroluminescent element, an electronic device designed to control the electroluminescent element, and an interposer electrically connecting the electroluminescent source and the electronic device.

A vehicle and a controlling method of the same include a speaker outputting virtual engine sound integrated with a head lamp. The vehicle includes the head lamp; a head lamp case in which the head lamp is provided; and a speaker for outputting a virtual engine sound, and provided inside the head lamp case, where an internal cross-sectional area of the head lamp case may increase in a direction toward a front of the vehicle based on a position where the speaker is provided.

Various antennas elements including antennas arrays can support various communication technologies and can be integrated into different components or subcomponents of a vehicle, including various vehicle light assemblies. The vehicular antennas elements include low profile and/or concealed antenna elements that are inconspicuous aesthetically and do not affect or substantially affect vehicle aerodynamics.

A speed sensitive type active hidden air curtain of a vehicle includes: hole opening or closing devices configured to cover or open an air hole of a bumper facing traveling wind with any one of a bumper interlocking device, a lamp interlocking device, and a hole color change device to guide air to a space formed between a bumper and a wheel; a power connection member interlocked with a deflector guiding the traveling wind under the bumper to move the hole opening or closing devices; and a supporter maintaining tension of the power connection member. The speed type active hidden air curtain thereby implements a clean and differentiated design image of the bumper and improves appearance quality thereof by covering the air hole exposed to the outside.

The present disclosure provides methods and apparatuses of a highly sensitive and reliable IoT location tracking device in a form factor of a vehicle taillight. The tracking device replaces the existing taillight and comprises custom-designed GPS and Cellular antennae that are specially integrated with a novel dual-PCBA structure and an anti-theft tactile switch detection mechanism. The purposes of the new methods and apparatuses are to achieve the following: (1) improved reliability of signal reception and transmission with taillight integration; (2) improved electronic shielding of the processor board and PCB (printed circuit board) assembly; (3) high sensitivity of the new GPS and cellular antennae geometry and dimension design; (4) novel anti-theft security and better vehicle tracking management.

The invention relates to an actuation device (3) for mounting on a vehicle part (2), in particular in the form of a door or a hinged closure element, the actuation device comprising: an electrical switching means (30) having at least one switching element (31) for triggering a vehicle function; and a housing unit (10) having at least a first and a second housing portion (11, 12), which at least partly form a housing interior (13), in which the switching element (31) is arranged, the second housing portion (12) being movable, at least in some regions, relative to the first housing portion (11) from an idle position (I) into an actuation position (II) in order to actuate the switching element (31). The invention further relates to a vehicle (1) and to an actuation method (100).

A combined rear exterior lamp and cleaning system including: a lens for the rear exterior lamp of the vehicle, the lens has an inner surface and an outer surface, a cleaning arrangement for providing a cleaning fluid to an exterior surface of the rear window, an inlet connectable to a cleaning fluid hose for providing cleaning fluid to the cleaning arrangement. The cleaning arrangement includes a channel generally parallel with at least one of the lens inner surface or the lens outer surface, and an array of outlets in fluid communication with the channel. The channel is attached to the lens and is adapted to transport the cleaning fluid from the inlet to the array of outlets located on the outer side of the lens for providing the cleaning fluid to the rear window.
