A wiper assembly includes a wiper arm, a wiper blade carried on the wiper arm and a light source provided between the wiper arm and the raised wiper blade. The wiper assembly may also include a heating element and a controller to control operation of the light source and the heating element.

A vehicle includes an interior cabin and a plurality of modular docking stations fixedly disposed in the interior cabin. Each modular docking station is configured to removably receive one or more modular components. The one or more modular components interchangeably connect to the plurality of modular docking stations to enable relocation of each modular component of the one or more modular components in a desired modular docking station of the plurality of docking stations.

A motor vehicle lighting system (2) for emitting position-limited ground projections (B4a, B4c) for a motor vehicle (1) with a stepped height-adjustable chassis (3), wherein at least two pre-defined chassis height levels (SO, 51) are provided, namely a zero level (SO) and at least one higher operating level (51), wherein the motor vehicle lighting system (2) includes at least two projection devices (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d), and a control unit (5) connected to each projection device (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d) for individually controlling each projection device (4a, 4b, 4c, 4d).

A sensor assembly includes a housing having an airfoil shape and including a pressure surface and a suction surface, a sensor attached to the housing and disposed on the suction surface, and a nozzle attached to the housing and directed toward the sensor. A vehicle may include an exterior panel, and the sensor assembly may be attached to the exterior panel.

An electronic assembly for a motor vehicle includes a housing, a control and evaluation device disposed in the housing which is adapted to be coupled to a control device of the motor vehicle and an illumination device coupled to the control and evaluation device. The illumination device is adapted to be actuated by the control and evaluation device. A target area characterizing a detection area outside of the housing can be marked by an optical signal. The illumination device is adapted to be activated by the control and evaluation device for emitting light with different colors.

A vehicular communication system includes a near field communication device disposed at a vehicle. Responsive to a near field communication-enabled device being within a threshold distance of the vehicle, the near field communication device wirelessly receives a wakeup near field communication from the near field communication-enabled device. Responsive to the near field communication device wirelessly receiving the wakeup near field communication from the near field communication-enabled device, the near field communication device (i) wakes up and (ii) determines whether the near field communication-enabled device is an authorized device. Responsive to determining that the near field communication-enabled device is an authorized device, the near field communication device authenticates the near field communication-enabled device. Responsive to authentication of the near field communication-enabled device, and with the near field communication-enabled device being within the threshold distance to the vehicle, an electrically operable accessory of the vehicle is electrically operated.

The invention relates to a vehicle comprising a chassis which has a longitudinal axis and which is supported by wheels; a cab mounted on the chassis, the cab including two side walls; a wind deflecting assembly comprising at least two side deflector panels, each side deflector panel having a front edge linked to a rear portion of the corresponding cab side wall and a rear edge, and extending vertically over at least part of the height of the corresponding cab side wall rear portion; and at least one lighting assembly which is mounted on a side deflector panel and which includes at least a working lamp configured to illuminate an area located rearward of the cab.

A system for illuminating an area around a motor vehicle, having: a pair of radar systems and a pair of lighting systems mounted on the motor vehicle; a vehicle level sensor configured to detect changes in pitch or roll of the motor vehicle; and an illumination control system in the motor vehicle. The illumination control system includes a key fob communication system and determines the location of a person by detecting the person approaching the motor vehicle by detecting the presence of the key fob while also detecting the location of the person with a radar system mounted on the vehicle. Next, when the location of the person has been determined, the illumination system lights up the area the person is standing while following movement of the person with the radar system to continuously re-directing the illumination towards the location on the ground where the person is standing as the person moves.

The present disclosure relates to a motor vehicle having a control device and at least one lighting device, which comprises several light-emitting diodes arranged to be distributed within at least one surface, wherein at least one signal light can be generated by means of the lighting device. The control device is designed to individually control the light-emitting diodes and/or several groups of the light-emitting diodes such that a contour of the signal light is dependent upon at least one item of operational information. The at least one item of operational information is at least one item of driver assistance information which describes a current operating situation and/or a current vehicle environment situation of the motor vehicle and which can be generated by means of a driver assistance system of the motor vehicle, and/or at least one item of user action information which can be generated by means of at least one operating device of the motor vehicle by a user.

A human machine interface is configured to select an information display destination from among a plurality of display areas. The HCU acquires a sight line direction of a driver based on an image of an in-vehicle camera. The HCU displays, upon detecting a hop-off action of the driver based on an output signal of an in-vehicle sensor in a situation in which an attention target event such as a puddle, a step, other vehicle or the like exists on a road surface near a door of a driver's seat, in the display area corresponding to the driver's sight line direction, text or an image practically indicating (a) a content of an attention target event or (b) how to deal with a situation.
