Apparatuses, systems and methods are provided for generating data representative of a vehicle operation mode. More particularly, apparatuses, systems and methods are provided for generating data representative of a vehicle operation mode based on vehicle interior image data. The vehicle interior data may be representative of a three-dimensional coordinate spatial location of at least one joint of a vehicle occupant. The three-dimensional coordinate spatial location of the at least one joint of the vehicle occupant may be tracked over time.

A startup suggestion device that is mounted on a vehicle together with a driving support device for assisting a driving operation of a driver or taking a wheel, and suggests a startup of the driving support device to the driver, includes: a state value acquisition unit that acquires a state value indicative of a traveling state of the vehicle; a preference value acquisition unit that acquires a preference value reflecting the traveling state preferred by the driver; and a startup suggestion unit that suggests the startup of the driving support device according to a comparison between the state value and the preference value.

The various embodiments herein provide a reverse gear sensor and alert device for a vehicle comprising an electronic hub, a motor and a tail. The electronic hub comprises a control electronics circuitry (CEC), an audible buzzer, and an ultrasonic buzzer. The electronic hub is installed over a base frame attached to a rear body of the vehicle and is connected with a power source. The tail is attached to the electronic hub through the motor. The tail comprises a plurality of illumination members fixed on an outer surface of the tail and are powered through the motor. The power supply allows a flow of current to the motor on detecting a reverse gear activation in the vehicle. The current flow energizes the motor leading to a protrusion of the tail out of the vehicle. The plurality of illumination members, the audible buzzer, and the ultrasonic buzzer are activated on activation of the reverse gear.

A driving support ECU initializes a target trajectory calculation parameter at a start of LCA; calculates, based on the target trajectory calculation parameter, a target trajectory function representing a target lateral position which is a target position of an own vehicle in a lane width direction in accordance with an elapsed time from the start of LCA; calculates a target control amount based on the target trajectory function; when a steering operation by a driver has been detected, again initializes the target trajectory calculation parameter; and recalculates the target trajectory function based on the target trajectory calculation parameter.

A driving support ECU initializes a target trajectory calculation parameter at a start of LCA; calculates, based on the target trajectory calculation parameter, a target trajectory function representing a target lateral position in accordance with an elapsed time from the start of LCA; and calculates a target control amount according to the target trajectory function. When it is determined that the own vehicle has crossed a boundary white line, the driving support ECU again initializes the target trajectory calculation parameter, and calculate the target trajectory function based on the target trajectory calculation parameter.

A virtual radar system. In one embodiment, the system includes a vehicle-based mobile device subsystem, said vehicle-based mobile device subsystem located in a vehicle; a control station subsystem, and a cloud-based data subsystem comprising a cloud-based database for holding data regarding a plurality of locations of a plurality of vehicles and a plurality of cloud transaction processors in communication with the cloud-based database. In another embodiment, said cloud transaction processors calculate the positions of the plurality of vehicles, their trajectories, and the probability of a collision between vehicles and issue a warning to the vehicles in response thereto.

The present disclosure is directed to apparatuses, systems and methods for acquiring images of occupants inside a vehicle. More particularly, the present disclosure is directed to apparatuses, systems and methods for acquiring images of occupants inside a vehicle using a vehicle in-cabin device that automatically determines a location of the device inside the vehicle.

A vehicle front portion structure that includes: a radiator grille; a radar disposed at the radiator grille and a cover. The radar includes: an emission surface from which electromagnetic waves are emitted to the front of the vehicle, and an incidence surface at which reflected waves of the electromagnetic waves emitted to the front of the vehicle from the emission surface are incident. The cover is provided at the radiator grille to be openable and closable and the cover covers the emission surface and the incidence surface.

The present disclosure provides a meter cluster. The meter cluster includes a first luminous panel and a second luminous panel. The first luminous panel indicates first information. The second luminous panel is arranged in front of the first luminous panel. The second luminous panel indicates second information.

Each of the first luminous panel and the second luminous panel has transparency. The first information of the first luminous panel is visible through the second luminous panel.

The present invention relates to a radar for a vehicle and a vehicle provided therewith. The radar for a vehicle, of the present invention, comprises: an antenna; a transmitter to externally transmit a transmission signal through the antenna; a receiver to signal-process a reception signal received from the antenna; and a processor to control at least one of a direction, an angle, or an intensity of a beam pattern output from the antenna based on image related information from a camera during vehicle driving. Accordingly, the radar beam pattern may be varied on the basis of the camera image.
