The system and method may also include locating a fastener through the anchor flange aperture and the anchor point aperture to secure the plate to the anchor point.

An example adjustable truck compartment is described. The truck compartment includes a first side wall including a first guiding rail extending between a proximal end and a distal end, and a second side wall disposed opposite from the first side wall, the second side wall including a second guiding rail extending between a proximal end and a distal end of the second side wall. The truck compartment includes a rear wall coupled to the distal ends of the first and second side walls to define an enclosure between the first side wall, the second side wall, and the rear wall. The truck compartment includes a first divider panel configured to be received by the first and second guiding rails and within the enclosure in an orientation parallel to a floor of the enclosure to separate the enclosure into a first enclosure volume and a second enclosure volume.

A vehicle tailgate adapter assembly includes a vehicle tailgate module, a plurality of first fasteners and an adapter plate. The vehicle tailgate module has a plurality of openings. The adapter plate has a plurality of first openings that correspond to the openings of the tailgate. The first openings and the openings of the tailgate receiving the first fasteners therethrough when the adapter plate is installed to the tailgate. The adapter plate has a plurality of second openings arranged to be offset of the first openings.

An automotive LiDAR glazing with at least one glass sheet having an absorption coefficient lower than 5 m.sup.−1 in the wavelength range from 750 to 1650 nm and having an external face and an internal face. An infrared-based remote sensing device emitting and/or receiving p-polarized laser signal in the wavelength range from 750 to 1650 nm is placed on the internal face of the glass sheet.

Apparatus is provided for a storage system that can be securely and reversibly installed in a vehicle. The apparatus presented comprises a storage unit which may readily store multiple small-to-medium objects, and which may be securely fastened to the vehicle frame or vehicle elements. The apparatus further presents aspects allowing easy access to the storage unit, for loading and unloading, and allowing the storage unit to be securely fastened closed for storage. The storage apparatus' storage unit may comprise a single sheet of material, folded and joined to create adjacent sides. The present invention solves problems with the currently available apparatuses of vehicle storage systems.

An information processing device includes a processor. The processor is configured to control a vehicle including a storage apparatus including one or more compartments configured such that a user deposits baggage. The processor is configured to, when a predetermined event related to storage of the baggage has occurred in the storage apparatus, restrict deposit of the baggage into the storage apparatus by the user until the vehicle including the storage apparatus moves to a predetermined place where the predetermined event is resolvable.

A loudspeaker assembly for a vehicle includes a loudspeaker having a first side facing a vehicle interior and an opposed second side, wherein the loudspeaker is configured to generate an acoustical signal having a rear wave directed into the vehicle interior and a front wave directed away from the vehicle interior toward a vehicle exterior. A motor assembly is on the first side of the loudspeaker, and a diaphragm is at the second side of the loudspeaker for generating the rear wave and the front wave. The loudspeaker assembly includes a bracket into which the loudspeaker is mounted, the bracket including a basket for receiving and supporting the motor assembly, and a coupler disposed on the second side of the loudspeaker and extending toward the vehicle exterior, wherein the coupler is arranged to transmit the front wave to the vehicle exterior.

A method of operating a moving object on which a drone is mounted includes detecting, by the moving object, occurrence of an event; determining whether to use the drone, on the basis of the detected event; and determining an operation mode, among a first operation mode and a second operation mode, of the drone when the drone is used.

A pickup full of gear doesn't have to be a jumbled mess. A modular, lightweight load-carrying system is custom engineered to fit directly onto a tailgate using the existing OEM mounting points of the vehicle. The rack systems allow drivers of the vehicle to keep gear organized, easily accessible, and secure.
