A docking system for a vehicle and a building and a control method therefor, include a plurality of vehicle doors provided to enter the vehicle, a roof connected to an upper portion of each of the vehicle doors, and configured to be vertically lifted and lowered above and below the plurality of vehicle doors, wherein when the roof is lifted, an indoor space expands upward to connect the indoor space of the vehicle to an indoor space of the building into one space, and a sealing door respectively provided inside each of the vehicle doors, when the roof is lifted, which is rotated toward each of the vehicle doors to seal each of the vehicle doors and the roof.

Systems and methods to detect obstruction include detecting, by a sensor, a first parameter that corresponds to a path of traversal of a tonneau cover, determining, based on a comparison between the first parameter and a second parameter, a presence of an obstacle in the path of traversal of the tonneau cover, and modifying operation of the vehicle in response to the presence of the obstacle in the path of traversal of the tonneau cover.

A vehicle roof including an openable folding roof and a tensioning cable which tensions the folding roof in the closed state. One front end of the cable is fixedly anchored to a front roof part of the folding roof and at the rear end is held on a rear roof component which is fixed to the vehicle. The tensioning cable is length-adjustable for adjusting the cable tension via a tensioning cable system. The tensioning cable system comprises a latching base fixedly anchored to the rear roof component, a latching element attached to the rear end of the tensioning cable, and a latching mechanism which is adjustable in multiple stages and disposed between the latching base and the latching element for adjusting the longitudinal position of latching element relative to the latching base only in the longitudinal direction. The latching element in the adjusted position is held so as to be latched in a form-fitting manner to the latching base.

Particular embodiments may provide a tonneau system for a vehicle. The tonneau system may be movable between an extended configuration and a retracted configuration. The tonneau system may include a cover, a beam, and rails. The cover may have two side edges and a tail edge, the beam may be coupled to the tail edge of the cover, and the rails may be coupled to the side edges of the cover. In some embodiments, the beam and the rails bi-directionally tension the cover when the tonneau system is in the extended configuration.
