A vehicle is provided that includes a cabin interior, a seat configured to hold a passenger, a window having a movable panel actuatable between open and closed positions, and an actuator to power the window between the open and closed positions. The vehicle also includes an imaging device located in the cabin interior and oriented to capture images of a passenger seated on the seat and at least a portion of the movable panel of the window, and a controller processing the images to determine one or more characteristics of a face of the passenger. The controller further processes the images to monitor a position of the movable panel.

A silenced guide rail includes a guide rail body, a guide block, and a slideway. The guide rail body includes a beam piece, and the beam piece includes an abutting end. The guide block is connected to one end of the guide rail body, and the guide block includes a docking strip. The docking strip includes a corresponding abutting end corresponding to the abutting end. The abutting end includes a short side and a bevel. A shape of the corresponding abutting end corresponds to a shape formed by the short side and the bevel. The slideway is formed on the beam piece and the docking strip. Therefore, the present disclosure reduces an abnormal noise generated when a guide post passes through a connection between the guide rail body and the guide block, and an effect of eliminating all or most of the abnormal noise may be achieved.
