A vehicle instrument panel structure including: a head-up display device that is provided within an instrument panel positioned at a front section of a vehicle cabin and that displays information by projecting light onto a windshield; a defroster that is provided within the instrument panel so as to be disposed alongside the head-up display device in a vehicle width direction, and that conveys air toward the windshield; a guide section that is provided at an upper face of the instrument panel so as to be disposed between the head-up display device and the defroster, and that has a cross-section profile as sectioned along the vehicle width direction profiled so as to cause airflow from the defroster to cling to a surface of the guide section such that the airflow is blown toward an area of the windshield in which information is displayed by the head-up display device.

A display device for a vehicle includes a first frame, a second frame configured to be move along a first direction with respect to the first frame, a roller rotatably coupled to the second frame and configured to move along the first direction based on movement of the second frame, and a flexible display that is at least partially wound around the roller and that is configured to be bent around the roller. The flexible display has an end portion fixed to the first frame. A front surface of the flexible display defines an externally exposed area that is configured to increase based on an increase of a distance between the first frame and the roller.

A display system includes an image capture device, a display device, and at least one of a first illuminance sensor and a second illuminance sensor. The image capture device captures an image rearward of the vehicle. The display device is coupled to the image capture device, and receives at least a portion of the rearward image captured by the image capture device. The first illuminance sensor detects brightness around the vehicle, and the second illuminance sensor detects intensity of light emitted onto a front surface of the display device.

A dashboard cover sheet that comprises of a central rectangular sheet that is made of an absorbent material and the length is configured to cover a full length of a dashboard of a vehicle. A first rectangular strip that is made of an impermeable material, the first rectangular strip is affixed to an upper side of the central rectangular sheet. A second rectangular strip that is made of an impermeable material, the second rectangular strip is affixed to the central rectangular sheet. A first absorbent rope that is attached to the first rectangular strip. And, a second absorbent rope that is attached to the second rectangular strip, the first absorbent rope and the second absorbent rope are configured to be placed between the front window of the vehicle and the edges of the dashboard of the vehicle.

An equipment inspection system receives data captured by a sensor of an autonomous vehicle (AV). The captured data describes a current state of equipment for servicing the AV. The equipment inspection system compares the captured data to a model describing an expected state of the equipment. The equipment inspection system determines, based on the comparison, that the equipment differs from the expected state. The equipment inspection system may transmit data describing the current state of the equipment to an equipment manager. The equipment manager may schedule maintenance for the equipment based on the current state of the equipment.
