A sensor device for fastening to the inside of a vehicle window of a motor vehicle, comprising a holder that is connectable to the vehicle window, a carrier that is connected pivotably to the holder, and a sensor unit that is arranged on the carrier, the carrier being pivotable relative to the holder by a settable pivot angle about a carrier pivot axis, and the pivot angle being lockable by a fixing device is disclosed. For particularly precise pivotability of the carrier relative to the holder, the fixing device has a worm mechanism with a worm and with a worm wheel, the axis of rotation of the worm wheel corresponding to the carrier pivot axis.

A blind-spot image device with adjustment rings is applicable to a vehicle and includes a housing and a camera module in addition to two adjustment rings, wherein the housing has an opening and is protrudingly provided with an extension portion corresponding in position to the opening; the rear half of the camera module extends into the opening; the front side of the camera module is provided with a lens element; and the adjustment rings are mounted around the camera module and hold the extension portion between them, with one adjustment ring lying outside the housing and the other adjustment ring inside the housing. The blind-spot image device is characterized in that the corresponding sides of the two adjustment rings are inclined, and that the shooting angle of the lens element can be changed by rotating the adjustment rings.

A system and kit with curved upright arms that can be configured into different configurations for supporting a chair or a hammock, where the support can be either from a vehicle hitch or a porch.

There is disclosed a viewing system coupled to a motor vehicle having a frame having a roof, at least one support, and a body with the at least one support supporting the roof over the body. The system can comprise at least one camera, at least one screen coupled to the support. In addition each camera is coupled to the at least one support and wherein said at least one screen is in communication with the first set of cameras, wherein said at least one screen displays images presented by the first set of cameras. This device can provide additional view in the blind spot of the vehicle.

A system and method providing truck-mounted sensors to detect trailer following vehicles and trailer conditions are disclosed. A system of an example embodiment comprises: a vehicle control subsystem installed in an autonomous truck, the vehicle control subsystem comprising a data processor; and a truck-mounted sensor subsystem installed on a portion of a tractor of the autonomous truck to which a trailer is attachable, the truck-mounted sensor subsystem being coupled to the vehicle control subsystem via a data connection, wherein the truck-mounted sensor subsystem is configured to emit electromagnetic waves propagating in a space under the trailer, to generate object data representing objects detected by receiving a reflection of the electromagnetic waves, and to transfer the object data to the vehicle control subsystem.

An attachment system is provided for attaching an external component to a chassis of a vehicle, such as components for performing snow clearance, road measurements, road surface marking assemblies, transport of vehicles or gear, including salvaging work and transport of heavy duty vehicles. The attachment system includes at least an elongated chassis coupler element, a fastening mechanism for fastening the chassis coupler element to the chassis when in a mounted position, a distance element, and a clamping mechanism. The coupler element is shaped to fit inside a hollow space of the distance element, and the clamping mechanism is operable to control an insertion length of the coupler element into the hollow space thereby controlling the clamping of the distance element and the chassis when the attachment device is in a mounted position.

A recording reproduction apparatus according to the present disclosure includes: a captured data acquisition unit that acquires first captured data captured by a first camera that captures an image of an outside of a vehicle; an event detection unit that detects an event regarding the vehicle; a recording controller that stores the first captured data in a period including at least a timing of occurrence of the event as event recording data; a reproduction controller that reproduces the event recording data; a display controller that causes a display unit to display the event recording data reproduced by the reproduction controller; and an attachment/detachment detection unit that detects an attachment/detachment state of the display unit to/from the vehicle, in which the reproduction controller starts, when it has been detected by the attachment/detachment detection unit that the display unit has been detached from the vehicle, reproduction of event recording data.

Housing for vehicle sensors (e.g., Lidar sensors) can include an adapter bracket configured to route a cable either out of the side of the sensor housing or out of the bottom of the sensor housing. In some examples, different adapter brackets can be used to run the cable in different configurations, while in other examples, a single adapter bracket can run a cable in both side-exit and bottom-exit configurations. An adapter bracket can include a breathable mesh portion configured to allow air to pass through the mesh, while blocking moisture.

Various embodiments include a method for providing an image using a camera monitor system for a motor vehicle with a trailer, wherein the camera monitor system has a rear camera assigned to a rear side of the trailer, a side camera assigned to a longitudinal side of the motor vehicle, and a monitor for presenting images of the cameras. The method may include: capturing a first image with the rear camera; capturing a second image with the side camera; constructing a composite image comprising the first image and the second image based at least in part on an ascertained trajectory of the motor vehicle; and displaying the composite image on the monitor.

A structure such as a recreational vehicle includes a guide member coupled to a wall of the structure, a carriage member slidingly coupled to the guide member, a mounting bracket coupled to the carriage member, and a bed coupled to the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket can be coupled to the carriage member in a readily releasable manner. The mounting bracket can also be slidably received by a bed support member that is coupled to or part of the bed.
