A vehicle lighting apparatus includes a first housing, a second housing, two lamp bodies, and two external cameras. The first housing and the second housing are formed separately from each other, joined to be adjacent in the front-rear direction, and arranged to cover a portion of the upper portion of a vehicle interior. The first housing includes a box portion. The second housing includes a wall portion closing a second opening portion of the box portion. An upper first end portion and a lower second end portion at the peripheral edge of the second opening portion of the box portion are joined to an upper third end portion and a lower fourth end portion of the wall portion. The first end portion and the third end portion are arranged relatively closer to the first housing side than the second end portion and the fourth end portion in the front-rear direction.

An automatic parking system includes a sensor system measuring whether there is a parking section line and positions of surrounding vehicles, and a controller configured to analyze data sensed by the sensor system to calculate parking areas around a subject vehicle, calculate a range allowing generation of a moving path based on the parking areas, provide a moving path range for a parking type that is selected among the moving path ranges provided for the at least two parking types, and an optimal parking area for the selected moving path range, and automatically park the subject vehicle in the optimal parking area.

Disclosed is a method and system that receives sensor information from each of a plurality of sensors. Each sensor in the plurality is associated with a vehicle. The sensor information includes location coordinates of each vehicle in the plurality. The sensor information associated with each vehicle in the plurality then is translated to parking statistics information. In one embodiment, the translation is based on an aggregate of sensor information corresponding to the plurality of vehicles. The system then communicates parking statistics information to the vehicle.

Disclosed is a parking assist device (100) including a parking assist control unit (5) that performs parking assist for a host vehicle (1) by using a first sensor (4) for parking assist disposed in the host vehicle (1), and a guide display control unit (25) that causes a display device (20) to display a guide display based on a first effective detection range (A.sub.L, A.sub.R) of the first sensor (4) in a state in which the guide display is superimposed on a front view with respect to the host vehicle (1).

A rear alarm sensor assembly includes: a sensing part that generates waves and a sensing signal, based on contents obtained by detecting an approaching object by the generated waves; a controller that generates a transmission signal including the sensing signal and an identifier for identification and transmits the generated transmission signal to a body control module, the controller including a plurality of identification terminals for changing the identifier according to a connection relation and a ground terminal that is grounded; and a determination device that is electrically connected to the ground terminal and moves so as not to be connected to the plurality of identification terminals or so as to be connected to one of the plurality of identification terminals. In particular, the determination device electrically connects the connected identification terminal and the ground terminal to change the connection relation of the plurality of identification terminals.

A vehicle parking assistance assembly includes a pair of clamps removably clamped to a respective one of a pair of garage door rails on either side of a garage door opening. A light emitting unit emits a beam of light across the garage door opening. A receiving unit receives the beam of light emitted by the light emitting unit. A visual unit is positioned on a back wall of a garage to be visible to a driver of a vehicle entering the garage. The visual unit emits a visual alert to stop when the visual unit receives a clear signal from the receiving unit for alerting the driver that the vehicle has fully entered the garage. The visual unit emits a visual alert to go when the visual unit receives a blocked signal from the receiving unit for alerting the driver that the vehicle has not fully entered the garage.
