A utility vehicle includes a plurality of ground engaging members and a frame supported by the plurality of ground engaging members. The frame assembly extends generally along a longitudinal axis of the utility vehicle. The utility vehicle further includes a front seating section coupled to the frame. The front seating section is configured to support an operator and a first passenger. Additionally, the utility vehicle includes a rear seating section coupled to the frame. The rear seating section is configured to support a second passenger and a third passenger. The rear seating section has an angled panel configured as a dead pedal for the second and third passengers, and a portion of the rear seating section extends forwardly into the front seating section.

A vehicle comprises an under unit which is equipped with a driving mechanism configured to rotate wheels of the vehicle, and an upper unit which is mounted on the under unit. The upper unit comprises an extension/contraction mechanism which is configured to extend or contract the upper unit according to a size of the under unit.

A vehicle includes a chassis, a front axle coupled to the chassis, a rear axle coupled to the chassis, a powertrain coupled to the chassis, a cab coupled to the chassis, a rear module coupled to the chassis behind the cab. The powertrain is configured to drive at least one of the front axle or the rear axle. The rear module is selectively reconfigurable between a plurality of configurations.

Systems and methods for safe reconfiguration of a vehicle interior are provided. A method includes obtaining vehicle reconfiguration data indicative of a reconfigured interior arrangement for a vehicle interior of an autonomous vehicle. The reconfigured interior arrangement can include a number of interior vehicle components at one or more different positions within the vehicle interior than a current position of the interior vehicle components as prescribed by a current interior arrangement of the vehicle interior. The method includes obtaining sensor data indicative of one or more objects associated with the autonomous vehicle and determining a potential impact of repositioning the number of interior vehicle components from the current interior arrangement to the reconfigured interior arrangement. The method includes initiating a vehicle reconfiguration response based on the vehicle reconfiguration data and the potential impact of the reconfigured interior arrangement on the one or more objects associated with the autonomous vehicle.

Systems and methods for dictating motion for bi-directional vehicles is provided. The method includes obtaining passenger and map data. The passenger data identifies an orientation of a passenger and the map data identifies route attributes for one or more route segments. The method includes determining one or more motion constraints for a bi-directional vehicle and map constraints for a routing the bi-directional vehicle based on the passenger data and the map data. The motion constraints can identify a vehicle orientation with which the bi-directional vehicle can travel. The map constraints can identify one or more route segments restricted from travel by the bi-directional vehicle. The method includes generating a constrained route based on the motion and map constraint(s). The constrained route can include permitted route segments and movements for the bi-directional vehicle. The method can include initiating the motion of the bi-directional vehicle based on the constrained route.

A shared vehicle includes: a pair of right and left first pillars; a pair of right and left fourth pillars; a pair of right and left second pillars; a pair of right and left third pillars; an entrance door provided on one side wall of a vehicle body so as to be placed between the second pillar and the third pillar; and a front wheelchair space being provided such that at least a head of a wheelchair occupant is placed within a first region of the vehicle cabin in a plan view, the first region being surrounded by the first pillars and the second pillars, or a rear wheelchair space being provided such that at least the head of the wheelchair occupant is placed within a second region of the vehicle cabin in a plan view, the second region being surrounded by the third pillars and the fourth pillars.

An overlay floor for motor vehicles, applied on the mother floor of the vehicle, intended to fix seats, wheelchairs or other equipment therein, having a shape adapted to the mother floor of the vehicle in which it is to be mounted. In the floor plate 1 there are made longitudinal mounting sockets 1′, into which two-part mounting rails are inserted. The mounting rails consist of an upper rail 2 with flanges 3 and a groove 4 for equipment fasteners and a 2″ lower base connected to it. The mounting sockets 1′ are made in a uniform sheet of the floor plate 1 as through, longitudinal holes for the profiles of the mounting rails. The upper rails 2′ have a longitudinal lock 5 at the bottom for connection to the lower bases 2″ which have a corresponding longitudinal lock 6 along the upper surfaces of the bases 2″. The width of the profile of the upper rails 2′ and the width of the base profile 2″ are such that they fit in the mounting sockets 1′ with a light interference.

A modular vehicle is generally presented where the modular vehicle is generally configured to be rearranged into different driving, passenger, and storage configurations using a plurality of different modules that interface with a powered chassis. The vehicle may include a plurality of modules arranged on the powered chassis. The modules may vary in size and shape and may be configured to interface with the chassis. The powered chassis is designed to include all power and drivetrain components as well as the wheel connections and wheels, all within a generally flat platform that is intended to support the vehicle modules.
