A vehicle may have a vehicle body and one or more movable sensors mounted to the body. A movable sensor may be rotated, linearly translated, or otherwise moved between multiple positions in response to location information, driving mode information, vehicle speed, and/or other information. The movable sensor may be moved to track objects, to provide pedestrians and others with visual feedback, to allow the sensor to gather desired sensor information to support driver assistance and autonomous driving operations, to place the sensor in a stowed position, and to perform other functions. The movable sensor may be protected with a movable cover. A cleaner may clean the sensor. The sensor may be a radar sensor, lidar sensor, camera, or other sensor. Information from the sensor may be used to detect roadway obstructions, to detect objects near the vehicle, to monitor pedestrians, and to monitor other conditions.

A display device may include a flexible display surface element having a display surface, and an adjustment unit which includes a clamping element in form of a rod and arranged such that the rod moves in a first adjustment direction, a restoring element arranged on the clamping element, and a deflection element in form of a rod. A first side edge of the display surface element is arranged on a length of the clamping element. A second side edge of the display surface element opposite the first side edge is connected to the clamping element via the restoring element. A surface of the display surface element is bent and has a bending region. A length of the deflection element extends in same direction as the clamping element, the deflection element extends within the bending region of the bent display surface element and is arranged such that the deflection element moves in a second adjustment direction to change a distance between the deflection element and the clamping element.

Drawer assembly for mounting to a cargo area of a vehicle. The drawer assembly includes: a drawer body defining a longitudinal axis and configured to be mounted to a track system to allow moving towards and away from the cargo area along the longitudinal axis; and a utility module pivotally mounted to the drawer body about an axis arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The utility module is pivotable between a storage position, where the utility module is received within the drawer body, and an access position, where the utility module is arranged to extend away from the drawer body.

A vehicle bumper for a vehicle includes a bumper frame adapted for installing into one of a front end and a rear end of a vehicle to absorb impact in case of collision, and a function unit provided at the bumper frame. The function unit is incorporated with the bumper frame to form at least one of a flip type storage container, a drawer storage container and a detachable storage container for providing an additional storage to the vehicle, wherein the flip type storage container, the drawer storage container and the detachable storage container are located at different locations of the bumper frame, such that the flip type storage container, the drawer storage container and the detachable storage container are individually operated.

A retaining device for an exterior add-on part of a motor vehicle comprises a base part for exterior mounting on the motor vehicle, on which a connecting element is mounted with a first pivoting device, via which the connecting element can be pivoted relative to the base part about a first pivot axis between a working position and at least one protection position. A first spring device, via which the connecting element can be returned from the at least one protection position into the working position. A retaining element mounted on the connecting element, by a second pivoting device having a second spring device, to be pivotable about a second pivot axis between the working position and the protection position, wherein the retaining element can be returned to the working position by the second spring device.

Image recording device provided with a fixed part for at least partial inclusion in and/or on the body of a motor vehicle, and a movable part which comprises at least one optical element, the optical element comprising at least one optical sensor and/or a lens unit, and an adjustment device provided with a power source, for adjusting the movable part between a first position and a second position, wherein during use in the first position the movable part is wholly or partly included in the body, and in the second position the movable part extends at an angle with respect to the body, such that at least the optical element carried by the movable part extends at least partly outside the body, wherein the movable part pivots from the second position about a, preferably substantially vertical, axis to the first position and vice versa.

A display device is configured to be mounted in an indoor space of a vehicle and to change a display area. The display device includes a first frame having a first end configured to be coupled to an interior member of the vehicle, a second frame having a first end coupled to a second end of the first frame, and a flexible display disposed at a first surface of the first frame and a first surface of the second frame. The second frame is configured to rotate about the second end of the first frame, and the flexible display is configured to fold to allow the first surface of the first frame to face the first surface of the second frame.

An articulated vehicle speaker system includes a vehicle mount adapted to be mounted on a vehicle and a speaker assembly including front and back injection molded panels which, when joined together, define a speaker compartment at first and second ends of the panels to house a speaker unit and a central compartment which separates the speaker compartments. A pair of spaced, powered hinge assemblies are disposed within the central compartment and hingedly connect the speaker assembly to the vehicle mount to allow limited swinging movement of the speaker assembly between different positions on the vehicle.
