Camera system (200) arranged for mounting on a vehicle's front side location (110), equipped to provide at least an image of the area in front of the vehicle (100), comprising a wing assembly (120) arranged for mounting on the vehicles front side location (110) and a forward looking camera (130) mounted in the wing assembly (120), the wing assembly (120) having a front portion (123f) shaped around and extending in front of a transparent camera portion (130t) that forms the front side (120f) of the forward looking camera (130), so that the transparent camera portion (130t) forms a smooth and continuous surface with the front portion (123f); wherein the front portion (123f) extends forward beyond the transparent camera portion surface (130T), so that a curved guidance surface is formed by the front portion (123f) that redirects impacting travel wind (F2) from the front portion (123f) to a downward direction along the transparent camera portion (130t) to keep it free from contamination.

A radio frequency identification (RFID) enabled mirror includes a mirror comprising a reflective layer. The reflective layer comprises at least one layer of a metallic material. At least one portion of the reflective layer is removed to form a booster antenna from a remaining portion of the reflective layer. A dielectric coating is applied to the mirror where the reflective layer was removed. The RFID-enabled mirror further includes an RFID chip coupled to the booster antenna.

This disclosure details vehicle body mounted side view mirror assemblies that include mounting platforms for mounting one or more accessory items to the vehicle. The mounting platforms may be established by a mirror neck cover of the side view mirror assembly, a leaf screen, or both. The mounting platforms may include one or more mounting openings and associated fasteners for securing the accessory items directly to the side view mirror assembly.

It is aimed to provide a wireless vehicle to vehicle communication system arranged for mounting on a vehicle's front side location, equipped to provide inter vehicle communication. The system comprises a wing assembly arranged for mounting on the vehicles front side location. The wing assembly houses one or more digital communications antennas and has a side portion that houses a first antenna at a first height and/or horizontal position, and a second antenna at a second height and/or horizontal position, different from the first height and/or first horizontal position and sufficiently away from the other metallic and/or electronic components, for the purpose of optimizing reception and/or transmission quality, by e.g. providing good coverage and diversity, and avoiding interference with each other.

A light-transmissive antenna includes: a transparent base made of a transparent insulating material; and an antenna pattern formed on the transparent base. The antenna pattern is made of a transparent electrically conductive film that is a film-like member having a predetermined transmittance and a predetermined electrical conductivity. The light-transmissive antenna includes a plurality of highly electrically conductive patterns arranged on the antenna pattern, each of the highly electrically conductive patterns being made of an electrically conducive member having a higher electrical conductivity than the transparent electrically conductive film and formed in a linear shape. Each of the plurality of highly electrically conductive patterns has a predetermined width set equal to or smaller than a value assumed as a resolution of human eyes.
