Method and apparatus are disclosed for iris-detection alignment for vehicle entry and feature activation. An example vehicle includes a window, a camera facing the window, a puddle lamp to project an indicator pointing toward the camera, a UV source, and a controller. The controller is to project, via the UV source, a display onto the window upon detecting a user aligns with the indicator. The controller also is to provide directions to the user, via the display, to position an iris in front of the camera and activate a vehicle feature upon identifying the user via iris recognition.

An earth working machine (10), for example a road milling machine (10), recycler, stabilizer, or surface miner, having a propelling unit (22) and a machine frame (12) carried by the propelling unit (22), comprises a working apparatus (32) for earth working; an operator's platform (24), having an operating console (26) for controlling at least one functional device (32) of the earth working machine (10), being provided on the machine frame (12); the operating console (26) comprising a console body (52) and an operating panel (54, 66) that is movable relative to the console body (52) and has at least one operating element (58) associated or associatable with a functional device (32, 39) for control thereof. Provision is made according to the present invention that the operating panel (54, 66) is displaceable into a stowed position in which the at least one operating element (58) is covered by a portion (56a, 72a) of the console body (52), the operating panel (54, 66) being displaceable out of the stowed position into an operating position in which at least one operating element (58) is uncovered and is therefore accessible for operation thereof by a machine operator.

A computer system performs techniques related to displaying a representation of a secure credential and using the secure credential. In some embodiments, a computer system detects that the computer system is physically near a vehicle. In some embodiments, a computer system permits a user access to use one or more functions of a vehicle using a secure credential.

In a parked vehicle, a head unit operating in low-power mode draws attention to a living being in a cabin of a parked vehicle. It does so by using a microphone to monitor said cabin for out-of-domain sounds, detecting a signal originating within said cabin, said signal being an acoustic signal that is representative of an out-of-domain sound, classifying said acoustic signal as being indicative of the existence of the living being within said cabin of said vehicle, and sending an alert to a first person.

A vehicle state presentation system includes a terminal device including an ear mounting unit that is mounted on an ear of a user, and a vehicle. The vehicle includes a first communication unit that wirelessly communicates with the terminal device, and a first controller that causes the first communication unit to transmit a notification signal indicating that the vehicle detects a state of the vehicle other than a predetermined state to the terminal device, and the terminal device includes a second communication unit that wirelessly communicates with the vehicle, and a second controller that causes an output unit to perform a notification to the user based on the notification signal received by the second communication unit when the terminal device moves out of a predetermined distance range in which the vehicle is included.

A computer system performs techniques related to enrolling and using a secure credential. In some embodiments, a computer system provides user interfaces for enrolling a secure credential on the computer system. In some embodiments, a computer system provides user interfaces for inviting a user account to use a secure credential.
