A trail sight for a vehicle, according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a body configured to extend in a longitudinal direction along a length of a vehicle, wherein the body comprises a first portion fixed to a vehicle body structure and a second portion that is moveable relative to the first portion between a retracted position and a deployed position.

A pop-up apparatus for a camera mirror system disposed inside a panel of a body of a vehicle includes a camera mirror assembly to provide a rear view of a vehicle, a camera mirror housing disposed to enclose the camera mirror system and configured to move to an outside of the panel, and a camera mirror frame configured to receive a driving force from a driving unit. The driving unit opens a cover of the panel while driving the camera mirror assembly to move to the outside of the panel through an opened portion of the panel in linkage with the camera mirror frame.

Disclosed is an inner rear-view mirror system for an automobile with cameras, which comprises a rotatable single-axle shooting device (1) of a license plate frame and a rotatable shooting device (2) with a triangular connecting rod on the top. The rotatable single-axle shooting device (1) of the license plate frame comprises a first camera (10). The rotatable single-axle shooting device (1) of the license plate frame is used for rotating about an edge of the license plate frame (4) as a rotation axis, so that the first camera (10) is driven to turn and protrude out of the spatial position of the license plate frame (4). The rotatable shooting device (2) with a triangular connecting rod on the top comprises four second cameras (20). The rotatable shooting device (2) with a triangular connecting rod on the top is used for driving the four second cameras (20) to horizontally move simultaneously along the front and back direction or the left and right direction of the vehicle. A rotatable single-axle shooting device (3) on the top comprises a third camera (30) and a rotary handle (31). The rotatable single-axle shooting device (3) of the roof is used for driving the third camera (30) to move along a circular path with the length of the rotary handle (31) as the radius. The above-mentioned inner rear-view mirror system for an automobile with cameras solves the technical problems, such as the blind angle present during shooting with a traditional inner rear-view mirror system for an automobile with cameras.

A holding device for fitting in a motor vehicle is provided. This includes a base plate which may be positioned in an area of a vehicle seat, with a front edge in the vehicle axial direction and a rear edge in the vehicle axial direction, wherein the base plate has two latching devices on the rear edge for connecting in each case with a fastening point of a motor vehicle. This base plate has in each case on the front and rear edge a front and rear locating device which is hinged to the base plate and designed so that the base plate may be fixed immovably in the area of the vehicle seat. The latching devices are connected to a coupling element in a hinged and lockable manner, and the coupling element is connected in a hinged and lockable manner to the rear edge of the base plate.

A surveillance equipment platform mounting in an interior cabin of a vehicle. The interior cabin of the vehicle has a roof with an opening. The surveillance equipment platform includes a retractable telescoping structure having surveillance equipment mounted so as to extend through the opening of the roof, and to fully retract into the interior cabin. The surveillance equipment platform also includes a sealing device that mounts to the retractable telescoping structure below the surveillance equipment and oriented parallel to the roof of the interior cabin. The sealing device includes an elastically deformable gasket that elastically deforms during travel of the sealing device through the roof of the interior cabin when the surveillance equipment extends through the opening in the roof during extension of the retractable telescoping structure, and when the surveillance equipment retracts into the interior cabin during retraction of the retractable telescoping structure.

A vehicle interior assembly includes a foldable layer that is convertible between an unfolded condition, in which it provides the working surface of a tabletop, and a folded condition, in which it supports one or more portable electronic devices in a tilted position. When deployed as part of a device holder, the foldable layer uncovers a portion of a base layer that includes edge supports for the mobile device(s). A plurality of polygonal segments interconnected by a corresponding plurality of hinge joints permits the foldable layer to change from a flat sheet to a hollow, self-supporting three-dimensional structure with a clean angular appearance in an origami-like manner that does not require complex linkages or mechanisms for the conversion.

A vehicular camera monitoring system includes an electronic control unit (ECU) at a vehicle and a support arm movably disposed at a side portion of the vehicle, with the support arm having a base end attached at the side portion of the vehicle and a distal end opposite the base end. A camera is disposed at the distal end of the support arm. The support arm is movable between a stowed position and an extended position. A cover element covers an aperture at the side portion at least when the support arm is in the extended position. The camera, when the support arm is in the extended position, captures image data and provides captured image data to the ECU, which processes the provided image data for (i) display of video images derived from provided image data and/or (ii) detection of an object in the field of view of the camera.

Systems, devices, system-implemented methods, computer-implemented methods and/or computer program products are provided that can facilitate movement and/or cleaning of a sensor lens of a sensor system for a vehicle body. In one embodiment, the sensor system can comprise a sensor lens having a retractable portion that is moveable at least partially into and out of a chamber. The sensor system also can comprise a cleaning assembly configured to clean the retractable portion disposed within the chamber and at least partially separated from airflow exterior to the chamber. According to another embodiment, a sensor system for a vehicle body can comprise a moveable sensor lens, a cover, and a cleaning assembly configured to clean the sensor lens at least partially concealed by the cover from an environment about the vehicle body.

A roof module for forming a motor vehicle roof, the roof module having a panel component whose outer surface at least partially forms the roof skin of the vehicle roof, and an opening in which at least one environment sensor is disposed, the environment sensor being configured to send and/or receive electromagnetic signals for detecting the vehicle environment. The at least one environment sensor is displaceable between a retracted position and a deployed position. A weather strip is disposed circumferentially at the opening, and the at least one environment sensor may have a cover which is in contact with the weather strip when the at least one environment sensor is in the retracted position to seal the opening, and a contact surface which is in contact with the weather strip when the at least one environment sensor is in the deployed position to seal the opening.

A holding assembly for holding portable electronic devices increases passenger convenience and comfort. The holding assembly comprises a plurality of independently movable planar members that engage one or more portable electronic devices to hold the portable electronic devices. The planar members may each be moved between a first position and a second position. A portion of the holding assembly may be received within an open portion of a planar member to provide a low-profile geometry. The holding assembly may be opened to hold a portable electronic device and closed when not in use in this manner.
