A restraint control system of a vehicle includes: a position module configured to determine positions of seats within a passenger cabin of the vehicle; a restraint control module configured to, in response to detection of a collision of the vehicle: select which ones of the restraints of the vehicle to activate based on the positions of the seats; activate the selected restraints of the vehicle; and not activate non-selected ones of the restraints.

A collision detection unit corrects a threshold value to a larger value, which a collision check unit uses to compare an output value of a collision detection unit, in case of a rough road surface than in case of a flat road surface. Thus, it becomes possible to suppress erroneous detection on the rough road surface while detecting a collision sensitively on a flat road surface. The rough road is detected by a vibration detection unit provided in a tire side device.

An assembly of a dash for a vehicle includes a first plate and a second plate movable along an axis away from the first plate. The second plate moves from an undeployed position to a deployed position. The assembly includes a spring between the first plate and the second plate that biases the second plate toward the deployed position. The assembly includes a post extending along the axis from the second plate through the first plate. The assembly includes a pin releasably engaging the post with the first plate in the undeployed position. The assembly includes a release supported by the first plate and connected to the pin. The pin is disengageable from the post transverse to the axis by the release.

Methods and systems for autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicle control, routing, and automatic feature adjustment are disclosed. Sensors associated with autonomous operation features may be utilized to search an area for missing persons, stolen vehicles, or similar persons or items of interest. Sensor data associated with the features may be automatically collected and analyzed to passively search for missing persons or vehicles without vehicle operator involvement. Search criteria may be determined by a remote server and communicated to a plurality of vehicles within a search area. In response to which, sensor data may be collected and analyzed by the vehicles. When sensor data generated by a vehicle matches the search criteria, the vehicle may communicate the information to the remote server.

A vehicle and control method include: a seat; an image acquirer to acquire an image of the seat; a first type of roof airbag module in a fixed position in a first area of a headlining; a rail member in a second area of the headlining in a left-right direction of a vehicle body; a second type of roof airbag module in the rail member and movable in left and right directions along the rail member; an angle detector to detect a rotation angle of the seat; and a controller. The controller identifies the seat rotation angle based on the image of the seat and controls activation of at least the first type of roof airbag module or the second type of roof airbag module based on at least the seat rotation angle based on the image of the seat or detected by the angle detector.

A middle console assembly includes a middle console including a vehicle-rearward side. The middle console assembly includes an airbag assembly including a base and an airbag supported by the base. The base of the airbag assembly is disposed at and moveable upwardly relative to the vehicle-rearward side of the middle console.

A vehicle that has an automatic notification function includes a first communication device that transmits emergency information to a server apparatus of an automatic emergency notification system via a base station in a case where an emergency situation arises, a control unit that automatically transmits the emergency information to the server apparatus by using the first communication device when the emergency situation arises, and a second communication device that restrictedly communicates with an external device. The control unit immediately transmits the emergency information to the server apparatus by using the first communication device if the first communication device is capable of immediately transmitting the emergency information, and releases communication restriction on the second communication device to transmit the emergency information to the server apparatus by using the second communication device and the external device if the first communication device is not capable of immediately transmitting the emergency information.
