Motor vehicle lock arrangement
A motor vehicle lock arrangement for a motor vehicle door which is adjustably coupled to a motor vehicle body work, wherein the motor vehicle lock arrangement has a motor vehicle lock wherein the motor vehicle lock arrangement has a push-open arrangement for applying a drive force to the motor vehicle door in its opening direction, so that the motor vehicle door can be adjusted, in a motor-operated push-open process, from a closed door position into a push-open door position which is located further in the opening direction of said motor vehicle door, and as a result an engagement gap can be produced between the motor vehicle door and the motor vehicle body work. It is proposed that the motor vehicle lock arrangement has a light arrangement and a light controller for actuating the light arrangement.
VEHICLE COMPRISING A DOOR OPENING WARNING SYSTEM
A vehicle includes a door, an inside door handle, and a door opening warning system having an object sensor that detects an object outside the vehicle in a door collision risk zone, a touchless sensor that detects if a part of a user is positioned in an opening zone at the inside door handle and a touch sensor that detects if the user touches the inside door handle, and a control unit. The control unit triggers a first alarm if the object sensor detects an object in the risk zone and the touchless sensor detects a part of the user in the opening zone at the inside door handle, and triggers a second alarm if the object sensor detects an object in the risk zone and the touch sensor detects that the user is touching the inside door handle.
Lighting control apparatus and lighting control method
A vehicle control apparatus includes: a distance acquiring unit that acquires a distance between the vehicle and a mobile terminal having an unlocking function of the vehicle; and a lighting control unit that controls lit states of room lights and under lights that are provided to the vehicle.
INDICATIONS FOR VEHICLES
A display on a front, back or side of a vehicle, linked to an on board computer or a can-bus of said vehicle for displaying changes in the trajectory of the vehicle, wherein rear display provides a non-binary illuminated warning in response to detected changes in trajectory of the vehicle.
Irradiation control device and irradiation method
An irradiation control device is a device configured to control irradiation of light indicating a predetermined intention to a surrounding person, and includes an irradiation control unit configured to perform control to irradiate a first irradiation element, and a second irradiation element, which is irradiated when the first irradiation element is extinguished, and indicates an intention of the irradiation. As a result, light can be irradiated such that the attention of a target person is easily attracted and a delay in understanding by the target person is easily avoided.
Irradiation system and irradiation method
A second light device (4b) starts emission of a light pattern B after a first light device (4a) has started emission of a light pattern A. Elements included in the light pattern B and an element included in the light pattern A are arranged on the same straight line.
PROXIMITY WARNING SYSTEM FOR PARKED VEHICLES
A proximity alert system for a vehicle having a mobility access device that is moveable between a stowed position and a deployed position may include a control system, a sensor system, and an annunciator system. The control system operates the sensor system to detect a presence of an object within a defined sensing region exterior to the vehicle when the mobility access device is in the stowed position. The control system operates the annunciator system when the sensor system detects the presence of the object within the defined sensing region.
Radar detection system for non-contact human activation of powered closure member
A radar detection system for activation of a powered closure member of a vehicle and corresponding method are provided. The system includes a radar sensor assembly having a radar transmit antenna for transmitting radar waves and a radar receive antenna for receiving the radar waves after reflection from an object in a detection zone. The radar sensor assembly outputs a sensor signal corresponding to the motion of the object in the detection zone. An electronic control unit is coupled to the radar sensor assembly and includes a data acquisition module to receive the sensor signal and a plurality of analysis modules to analyze the sensor signal to detect extracted features and determine whether extracted features are within predetermined thresholds representing a valid activation gesture. The electronic control unit initiates movement of the closure member in response to the extracted features being within the predetermined thresholds representing the valid activation gesture.
Ingress and egress for autonomous vehicle
A ride-share system is disclosed. The system may comprise: one or more processors and memory storing instructions that are executable by the one or more processors, the instructions comprising: while operating a vehicle in an autonomous mode, determine a transit stop; based on the determination, attempt to establish communication with a smart node; when communication is established with the smart node, query the smart node regarding whether to actuate a vehicle door to an open position; and when communication is not established with the smart node, determine whether to actuate the vehicle door to the open position.
INGRESS AND EGRESS FOR AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE
A ride-share system is disclosed. The system may comprise: one or more processors and memory storing instructions that are executable by the one or more processors, the instructions comprising: while operating a vehicle in an autonomous mode, determine a transit stop; based on the determination, attempt to establish communication with a smart node; when communication is established with the smart node, query the smart node regarding whether to actuate a vehicle door to an open position; and when communication is not established with the smart node, determine whether to actuate the vehicle door to the open position.
