To provide an automobile window glass having an antifogging function, which can secure a favorable field of view of passengers in an automobile.

A windshield 10 according to an embodiment comprises an in-vehicle camera 20, a conductor 26, and wirings 36 and 40 to connect the conductor 26 and a battery 38. The conductor 26 has a heating portion 30, and has a resistor 50 between the heating portion 30 and the battery 38. The heating portion 30 heats an information transmitting/receiving region 28 which allows the in-vehicle camera 20 to take an image of the scenery outside the automobile through the windshield 10. The resistor 50 has a resistance corresponding to the resistance of a surplus wire at the heating portion.

A rendering system includes a first obtainer, a second obtainer, a renderer, an estimator, and a corrector. The first obtainer obtains position information indicating a position of an object from a detector. The second obtainer obtains movement information indicating a movement state of the moving body. The renderer renders a display image including a content related to the object. The estimator estimates a delay period by comparing the position information to estimated-position information indicating an estimated position of the object estimated based on the movement information of the object. The corrector corrects displacement of a display position of the content on the display image which is caused by movement of the moving body over the delay period.

The present disclosure relates to a device and a method for controlling a door of a vehicle. The device includes two or more doors for opening an interior of the vehicle, a position sensing device for sensing an object outside the vehicle, and a controller that activates the position sensing device based on user authentication, determines a position of a user when the object sensed by the position sensing device is the user, and performs control to open a door corresponding to the position of the user.

A camera position detection apparatus detects imaging positions of a plurality of cameras that are mounted on a vehicle and that include acceleration sensors, where the imaging positions indicate positions at which the cameras capture images with respect to the vehicle. The camera position detection apparatus includes a reference camera information acquisition unit that acquires information on the imaging position of a reference camera that is a part of the cameras, an acceleration acquisition unit that acquires information on acceleration detected by the acceleration sensor for each of the cameras, and an imaging position detection unit that detects an imaging position of a setting target camera that is the camera different from the reference camera among the cameras.

An apparatus includes a layer that has a light incident surface and includes elements, and a wiring structure. Each of the elements includes a photodiode. The photodiode includes first and second regions of first and second conductivity types. A voltage is supplied to the second region through a second-conductivity-type region. The wiring structure includes a first wiring positioned closest to the layer among wirings to supply the voltage to the second-conductivity-type region, a plug connecting the first wiring and the second-conductivity-type region, and a second wiring supplying a voltage to the first region. The second wiring covers the first region when viewed in plan, and a distance between the second wiring and the layer is shorter than a distance between the first wiring and the layer.
