An amusement vehicle, retrofittable hardware gamification attachment, and method for simulating power-ups in-game virtual vehicle enhancements and virtual weaponry for improved racing experience are disclosed. Amusement vehicle comprises sensor-specific transmitters/receivers for communicating with other amusement vehicles moving in amusement environment. Amusement vehicle comprises a processor simulating power-ups in-game virtual vehicle enhancements and virtual weaponry based on sensor-specific signals transmitted to or received from other amusement vehicles. Power-ups and virtual weaponry are simulated by increasing/decreasing speed, causing damage, providing temporary protection from damage, freezing weaponry, and deactivating weaponry the amusement vehicle for pre-defined time corresponding to sensor-specific signals transmitted to or received from other amusement vehicles in gaming event of amusement environment. Amusement vehicle comprises cameras for capturing still images/video of amusement vehicle and surroundings. An adaptive video system (AVS) processes, transmits, and displays still images/video on a display screen of amusement vehicle and display device external from amusement environment.

An inflatable system includes a first bladder configured to contain gas and a second bladder configured to contain gas. The first bladder includes a top wall, a bottom wall opposite of the top wall, a sidewall extending between and connected to perimeter edges of the top and bottom walls, and a plurality of tethers extending between and connected to interior surfaces of the top and bottom walls. The second bladder includes a top wall, a bottom wall opposite of its top wall, a sidewall extending between and connected to perimeter edges of its top and bottom walls, and a plurality of tethers extending between and connected to interior surfaces of its top and bottom walls. The bottom wall of the first bladder is secured to the top wall of the second bladder.

Disclosed are devices, systems, and methods for a LiDAR mirror assembly mounted on a vehicle, such as an autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle. For example, a LiDAR mirror assembly may include a base plate mounted on a hood of a vehicle, where the base plate is coupled to one end of a support arm. The opposite end of the support arm is attached to a housing. The housing includes a top housing enclosure coupled to a bottom housing platform, where a sensor and a mirror is coupled to the housing, and where the sensor is at least partially exposed through an opening in the top housing enclosure. The opening for the sensor is situated near an end of the housing furthest away from the base plate.

A seat assembly of a vehicle may include a support having a lower end portion connected to a floor of the vehicle; a seat frame having a connection portion provided above the support and having an entire slope which is changed by a curvature of the connection portion when the connection portion is slid, the connection portion being formed in a curved line or a curved surface; and a seat mounted on the seat frame and configured for implementing reclining by having a slope which is changed together with the seat frame when the seat frame is slid on the support.

A pedestal for mounting an accessory onto a vehicle surface has a hollow core body with an oblong first slot at a top end for receiving a fastener therethrough and an oblong second slot within for holding a nut and engaging the fastener. The fastener and nut are linearly adjustable in a first direction along the slots for ease of aligning the accessory's mounting hole with the pedestal and fastener, so as to secure the accessory to the pedestal's top end with the fastener. The body may also have wider oblong slots and additional side body slits for fitting an elongate bar nut, to provide greater adjustability in a second direction within the pedestal for enhanced two dimensional alignment of the accessory with the pedestal and fastener. A skirt and adhesive pad at the bottom end of the body securely bond the pedestal, and hence the accessory, to the vehicle surface.

A support assembly includes a first support member, a second support member, and/or a rod. The first support member and/or the second support member may be connected via the rod. The first support member and/or the second support member may be configured to move longitudinally along the rod. The first support member and/or the second support member may be configured to rotate about the rod. The first support member and/or the second support member may be configured to selectively engage a track. The first support member may include a first contact member and/or a third contact member. The second support member may include a second contact member and/or a fourth contact member. The first contact member may be configured to move with the third contact member, and/or the second contact member may be configured to move with the fourth contact member.

A mounting system for securing a container to a bed of a vehicle includes a mounting bracket that is adjustable in its length dimension. A first connection joint is for attaching the first end portion to a sidewall of the bed. A second end portion has at least one foot portion for engaging a floor surface of the bed. A second connection joint is for attaching a central portion of the mounting bracket to the container. The bracket is adjustable to a length dimension sufficient to engage the foot portion of the bracket to the bottom surface of the bed, while the bracket is attached to the side wall of the bed through the first connection joint.
