An autonomous driving system for a vehicle (e.g. a racing car) is installed in the space normally allocated to a human driver and is attached to the pre-existing anchor points used for structures that are no longer needed once a human is no longer required, such as the crash protection anchor points. The autonomous driving system enables AI and robotics technology to be seamlessly integrated into existing high-performance race car designs without requiring significant design modifications to the vehicle. This invention enables a new era of motorsport, where for example human drivers in a Formula One car can compete against the same car controlled by an autonomous driving system, because the design integrity of all cars remain identical.

A pressure equalization structure is provided. The pressure equalization structure includes a vehicle component comprising an internal cavity having a first volume, and a first passageway coupled to the internal cavity, and an equalization structure for equalizing air pressure in the internal cavity with ambient pressure. The equalization structure includes a first end coupled to the first passageway, a second end exposed to the ambient pressure, and a second passageway between the first end and the second end, the second passageway having a second volume. The equalization structure has an installed orientation in which the first end is arranged above the second end.

Provided is an electronic module with which electrical connection with an electronic component attached to the electronic module can be stabilized. A vehicle electronic module including a casing that includes a ceiling plate to which an electronic components is to be attached and a bottom plate that is located opposite to the ceiling plate includes a bus bar configured to be electrically connected to a relay terminal of the electronic component inserted into the casing, and the bus bar is movable together with the electronic component in the opposing direction of the ceiling plate and the bottom plate.

An electric junction box unit includes an electric junction box, a bracket holding the electric junction box, and a holder assembled to the bracket. The bracket includes a plate-shaped back face portion facing the electric junction box, a plurality of holding portions which are erected from the back face portion along an assembly direction of the electric junction box and which hold the electric junction box, and an engaging recessed portion engaging with the holder in a state where the back face portion is sandwiched between the electric junction box and the holder. The engaging recessed portion includes a first recessed portion receiving a first engaging piece of the holder along a direction intersecting the assembly direction, and a second recessed portion receiving a second engaging piece of the holder along the assembly direction.

A cable system for a truck trailer for reducing the number and/or size of wiring in a commercial trailer cable system from seven to four, three, or two, while also facilitating bidirectional communication with all connected electronic devices in the trailer. The cable system has a ground cable, a power cable, and zero, one or two additional communication cables that may carry analog and/or digital communications between the control circuit and components of the trailer such as turn signal lamps, brake lamps, backup cameras, environmental sensors, and the like. A transformer for increasing the voltage on the power cable is disclosed, allowing the power and ground cables to be smaller without reducing power delivered to the trailer.

A vehicle includes a vehicle body, a vehicle seat, an inverter and an inverter cover. The vehicle body defines a vehicle interior. The vehicle seat is disposed on a floor of the vehicle interior. The inverter has a housing fixed to the floor of the vehicle interior at a location underneath the vehicle seat. The inverter cover is detachably attached to the inverter housing.

An electrical junction box includes a circuit board that has a conductive path and on which electronic components are mounted, a conductive first shield case covering one side of the circuit board, a conductive second shield case covering the opposite side of the circuit board to the one side, a first resin case that covers the first shield case and is made of resin, and a second resin case that covers the second shield case and is made of resin.

A system for controlling a function of a vehicle by activation of a vehicle button includes a vehicle component configured to receive a signal and to perform an electrical or mechanical function in response to receiving the signal. The system further includes a physical structure located on an exterior of the vehicle and having an integrated button such that at least one of manual actuation of or physical proximity to the physical structure initiates a button selection event. The system further includes an electronic control unit (ECU) coupled to the vehicle component and to the integrated button and configured to identify the button selection event and to transmit the signal to the vehicle component in response to identifying the button selection event to cause the vehicle component to perform the electrical or mechanical function.

An electric device installation structure in a vehicle includes an electric device configured to be fixed on a vehicle structural object in a front compartment of a vehicle. A cover is attached to an upper part of a case of the electric device. A first connector projects from a rear portion of the cover. A projection is provided on a rear surface of the case, the projection extending upward to a position above a boundary between the case and the cover.

An electrical junction box including: bus bars; a circuit board of which one side opposes the bus bars; a conductive portion that is provided on the one side of the circuit board, and is exposed from the other side of the circuit board; an opening that is provided in parallel with the conductive portion in the circuit board, and from which a portion of the bus bars is exposed; a switching element that is arranged on the other side of the circuit board, and of which an input terminal or an output terminal is connected to the conductive portion; and a conductive piece that is arranged straddling a portion of the bus bars and the conductive portion.
