A method for controlling a sunshade of an autonomous vehicle is presented. The method includes determining that current conditions satisfy an activation condition. The method also includes predicting whether a driver will enable a manual mode during the current conditions. The method further includes activating a first sunshade in response to the satisfied activation condition regardless of whether the driver will enable the manual mode. The method still further includes activating a second sunshade in response to the satisfied activation condition when the driver will not enable the manual mode.

Shading device for a vehicle interior including a flexible shading structure displaceable between a compactly stored rest position and a deployed shading position and which is provided with a pull-out profile on an end region. The pull-out profile has a central portion and on opposite end sides of the central portion has telescopic shiftable guiding portions which are displaceable in vehicle-related guidances. A shield is disposed on the central portion and is mounted to be movable relative to the central portion between a rest condition and a functional condition, and a forced control device is provided for displacement of the shield in at least one direction between the rest condition and the functional condition to displace the shield in response to a shifting movement of at least one guiding portion.

The present invention discloses a winding device includes a screen, a winding shaft for winding the screen, a housing portion for housing the winding shaft, and a fiber assembly that supports rotatably an end portion of the winding shaft. The present invention also discloses a winding device includes a screen, a winding shaft for winding the screen, the winding shaft having an opening at an end portion, a housing portion for housing the winding shaft, a fiber assembly that is in the opening of the winding shaft, the fiber assembly having a hole along a center line direction of the winding shaft, and a support shaft that is in the hole of the fiber assembly, the support shaft supporting the fiber assembly rotatably.

A motorized shade assembly is provided having a discontinuous web extending between two rollers, one of which is motorized and the other is tensioned or biased toward rotation away from the other roller. The roller motor can be mounted inside of one of the rollers, and the tensioning device, such as a torsion spring, can be mounted inside of the other roller. The web includes a shade portion and a strap portion, with a rigid draw bar at the junction of those portions. Rotation of the rollers causes the strap portion to wrap over one of the rollers as the shade portion unwraps from the other roller. The shade assembly can be positioned between an inclined or curved vehicle window and an interior shroud for the window, such as found with a cab-over window of a Class B motorhome. The draw bar and fasteners connecting the strap to the draw bar facilitate movement of the shade when in contact with the shroud. Friction reducing tape or surface treatment on the periphery of the window opening in the shroud can also facilitate movement of the shade when in contact with the shroud. Motor actuation can be hardwired to a desired location within the vehicle, or wirelessly controlled by the user, as with an RF device.

Provided is a vehicle illumination system, including: interior lighting provided in a vehicle that is operable in a manual driving mode and in an autonomous driving mode; a detection device, provided in the vehicle, that detects an ambient light level outside the vehicle; a first control unit, provided in the vehicle, that controls switching on and switching off of headlights on the basis of a detection result from the detection device; and a second control unit that controls an illumination level of the interior lighting, such that the illumination level of the interior light when the headlights have been switched on while the vehicle is in the autonomous driving mode is higher than the illumination level of the interior lighting when the headlights have been switched on while the vehicle is in the manual driving mode.

An apparatus for tracking the location of a sunroof blind includes: a motor connected to the sunroof blind by a cable; and a controller for determining whether or not a wake-up is performed according to an electromotive force of the motor, and for correcting location information of the sunroof blind according to a determination result.

A windshield shading assembly for a vehicle includes a housing that is coupled to the vehicle proximate to an upper edge of the vehicle's windshield. The housing extends substantially between opposing side edges of the windshield. A panel is selectively extendible from the housing through a slot in the housing. A slit in the panel extends from a bottom of the panel to proximate to a top of the panel. The slit is configured to part to permit passing of an arm of a rearview mirror as the panel is extended from the housing. An actuator is coupled to the housing and is operationally coupled to the panel. The actuator is positioned to urge the panel through the slot to a deployed configuration. The panel is positioned adjacent to the windshield and is configured to substantially shield an interior space of the vehicle from solar radiation passing through the windshield.

A processor-implemented vehicle controlling method includes: determining whether an object in a vehicle is a living object based on radio detection and ranging (radar) information received from a radar sensor; in response to a determination that the object is a living object, determining bioinformation of the object based on the radar information; and adjusting a temperature in the vehicle based on the bioinformation and temperature information received from a temperature sensor.
