A kart includes a frame, front and rear wheels rotatable about front and rear axle axes, and an impact protection structure surrounding the frame. The impact protection structure includes: at least one front protective element, at least one rear protective element, and at least one lateral protective element on each lateral side of the kart. Each of the at least one lateral protective element is mounted to a pivot bearing fixed to the frame so as to be pivotally adjustable about a frame vertical axis, and is disposed closer to the rear axle axis than to the front axle axis. Each of the pivot bearings includes a bearing block and a bearing pedestal pivotable relative to the bearing block. Each of the at least one lateral protective element engages the bearing pedestal of a corresponding pivot bearing. Shock-absorbing dampers are disposed between the frame and the protective elements.

A vehicle includes a body having two pillars spaced from each other. The body includes a rocker extending from one pillar to the other pillar. An airbag is fixed to the rocker and inflatable to an inflated position. The airbag extends outboard of the rocker in the inflated position. The airbag includes a first chamber and a second chamber substantially fluidly separated from each other. The first chamber extends farther outboard of the rocker in the inflated position than the second chamber.

Vehicle periphery device implemented in a form whose external outline of its projection onto the horizontal plane of the bearing surface has the form of a circle, with this periphery capable of passing between possible points of contact of this periphery located at a distance equal to the diameter of this circle. Technical result: prevention of periphery jamming; ensuring ideal Internet compatibility, optimality for any positioning, optimality for any digital technology; saved space; increased density of the traffic; implementation of the purpose. It should help fundamentally more quickly and efficiently: implement fully automatic control of individual vehicles, combine their operation into a fully automated transport system in which modified vehicles can completely replace motor cars and, where possible, other modes of transport.

A garnish structure includes a garnish unit configured to be located on a surface of a lower door and to perform impact absorption and load support, wherein the garnish unit includes a first layer region configured to absorb energy, and a second layer region configured to withstand a collision. The garnish unit further includes a garnish panel forming an outer surface of the garnish unit, a first impact member formed inside the garnish panel, an absorbing member located in the first layer region, a spring member located inside the absorbing member, a second impact member formed inside the first impact member, and a damping spring located in the second layer region.

A retractable step and side bar assembly that can be used for raised vehicles, such as trucks. The retractable step can be configured to provide for significant reach in a deployed position to allow for a user to enter the raised vehicle. Further, in the stowed position the retractable step can be located within the side bar, thereby providing a low profile as well as an enhanced aesthetic appearance.

Embodiments of the present invention may provide a step, rock guard, handyman jack storage and even jack lift point system that can be made for most 44 vehicles. One product may resolve individual problems that may become apparent once a lift kit and larger wheels are installed on a 44 vehicle. Products can be made to fit two-door Jeeps, four-door Jeeps, Trucks, SUV's, or the like.
