AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE ADAPTED FOR SLEEPING OR RESTING IN A RECLINED POSTURE
A vehicle has an automatically tiltable seat, a plurality of seat actuators fully supporting the automatically-tiltable seat to enable the automatically tiltable seat to pitch or roll to compensate for motion of the vehicle, and a processor to predict the motion of the vehicle and to control the plurality of seat actuators. The plurality of seat actuators automatically adjust the pitch or roll of the automatically tiltable seat in response to the motion of the vehicle. The seat actuators also provide shock absorption.

APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR UPDATING AN IMAGE SECTION
The present disclosure refers to an apparatus for updating an image section, comprising a head with at least one first image capturing device, in particular in form of a mirror head, configure to rotate between a plurality of positions in order to obtain a first field-of-view (FOV); at least one second image capturing device, in particular comprising a camera module, configured to capture a second field-of-view (FOV) different than the first FOV; and an electronic control unit (ECU) configured to adjust the second image capturing device to capture the second FOV and update a display unit to exhibit the image section with the second FOV. It also refers to a rear view device with such an apparatus and a method for updating an image section.
MEMORY MODULE, ACTUATOR, REAR VIEW DEVICE AND VEHICLE
According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, a memory module adapted for use with an actuator of a rear view device for a vehicle is provided, wherein the rear view device comprises at least one rear view element which is pivotable around at least one pivot axis, with the memory module being adapted to determine at least one pivot angle of the rear view device and/or the at least one rear view element, and store the at least one determined pivot angle. Further, an actuator with such memory module, a rear view device, a vehicle as well as a method for manufacturing such memory module is provided.

Support for connecting a rear-view mirror to a corresponding vehicle
A support for connecting a rear-view mirror to a vehicle, including on vehicles suitable for towing a trailer, includes a connecting device to the vehicle, a supporting device of the rear-view mirror, and a device to movably connect the supporting device to the vehicle, which connecting deice allows the supporting device to be moved to any position between a respective retracted position, with respect to the connection device, particularly in which the rear-view mirror is nearest to the vehicle, and a respective extended position, with respect to the same connecting device, particularly in which the same rear-view mirror is furthest from the same vehicle, wherein the connecting device has a plurality of pairs of surfaces for a slidable engagement to corresponding pairs of surfaces of the connecting device.
Exterior rearview mirror assembly
An exterior rearview mirror assembly configured for mounting at a vehicle includes a mounting arm, an electrically operated actuator at one end of the mounting arm, an attachment portion at the other end of the mounting arm, and an exterior mirror head movable relative to the mounting arm via the actuator. The exterior mirror head includes an exterior mirror reflective element attached at an attachment plate of the exterior mirror head. The exterior mirror reflective element attached at the attachment plate moves in tandem with movement of the exterior mirror head relative to the mounting arm when the driver of the equipped vehicle operates the actuator. The attachment plate of the exterior mirror head includes wall structure that extends from the front side of the attachment plate. No part of the exterior mirror head encroaches onto or overlaps the outermost side of the exterior mirror reflective element.
