A land vehicle includes a frame structure, a plurality of wheels supported by the frame structure, and a body supported by the frame structure. The frame structure includes an operator cage that at least partially defines an operator cabin and a rear compartment positioned rearward of the operator cage in a longitudinal direction. The body includes a first sidewall arranged on one side of the vehicle and a second sidewall arranged on another side of the vehicle opposite the first sidewall.

A vehicular vision system includes a camera disposed at a vehicle and viewing rear of the vehicle, and an electronic control unit (ECU) having an image processor for processing image data captured by the camera. The vehicular vision system, responsive to processing by the image processor of image data captured by the camera, determines an individual has moved within a threshold distance of the rear of the vehicle. The vehicular vision system, responsive to determining that the individual has moved within the threshold distance of the vehicle, determines whether the individual is an authorized user of the vehicle. Responsive to at least to determining that the individual is an authorized user of the vehicle, a powered rear lift gate mechanism of the vehicle opens a rear lift gate of the vehicle to allow the user access to the interior of the vehicle.

A system for granting access to an autonomous vehicle comprises the autonomous vehicle, a control device, and a communication device associated with the autonomous vehicle. The communication device receives a signal from a device associated with a user that indicates the user requests the autonomous vehicle to pull over. The control device pulls the autonomous vehicle over to a side of road traveled by the autonomous vehicle. The control device receives a credential associated with the user. The control device determines whether the credential is verified. In response to determining that the credential is verified, the control device grants the user to access the autonomous vehicle.

A voice activation system for a vehicle. The voice activation system for a vehicle which has at least one sound panel capable of providing vibrations of a user's voice from the outside of the vehicle into an inside area of the vehicle. A laser listening device is operably connected to the panel for receiving vibrations from a user's voice. A controller receives a pre-identified command of the user from the laser listener and operates an action in the vehicle in response thereto.

A face recognition unlocking device includes a collection device configured to obtain information of a user, a controller configured to determine whether face recognition of the user succeeds, based on the information of the user, and calculate a location of the user for success in the face recognition, and an output device configured to guide the user to move.

An in-vehicle information system mounted on a vehicle is provided. The system comprises a registration unit configured to register identification information and a name of each user and a name of a group including a plurality of users; a recognition unit configured to recognize a user who is an occupant of the vehicle based on the identification information; and a control unit configured to cause an output unit to output a name corresponding to the user recognized by the recognition means.

The present invention relates generally to the field of vehicle key fobs. More specifically, the present invention relates to a vehicle key fob device comprised of a vehicle key fob that has a housing, a flashlight, a biometric scanner, a plurality of LED-illuminated buttons/emblems and a button that allows the color of the LED-illuminated buttons to change. The fob may have a plurality of buttons in differing embodiments, which are preferably illuminated via at least one LED that is positioned below each button. However, in one embodiment a singular large LED may sit below all buttons to illuminate the buttons simultaneously. The at least one LED can also produce any color known in the art, which can be changed by a user by pressing a color change button located on the side surface of the fob.
