Door interface system

A door interface system for a vehicle door includes a sensor and a visual indicator. The sensor may be a proximity sensor and may be positioned proximate to the visual indicator such that it will detect an object proximate to the proximity sensor. The visual indicator may convey the position of the sensor and/or a status of the vehicle door. The door interface system is configured to control the vehicle door based at least in part on detecting an object proximate the visual indicator.

Vehicle door interface system

Techniques for managing the doors of a vehicle are discussed herein. In some examples, a vehicle may have one or more doors configured to open and close. The doors may include one or more sensor devices located along the inside edges of the doors. The sensor devices may be configured to capture sensor data of a region between the doors. In some instances, the vehicle may have a door frame that may define a door aperture when the vehicle doors are in a non-closed state. The door frame may include one or more sensor devices located along an edge portion of the door frame. Such sensor devices may capture sensor data of the region within the door aperture. In such instances, a second plane (e.g., defined by the door frame) may be interior to a first plane (e.g., defined by the doors) relative to the vehicle.

Multiplane object detection

Techniques for interacting with authorized and unauthorized users by a door interface component are discussed herein. A vehicle computing device can implement the door interface component and/or an authentication component to control operation of a door of the vehicle or initiate a communication for assistance. For instance, the door interface component can include a button, that provides different visual indicators and functionality based on whether the user is authorized to enter the autonomous vehicle (e.g., open a door or provide visual indicators for the user to select to cause the door to open) or to request to move the vehicle, initiate hiring the vehicle, or call for help when the user is unauthorized to enter the autonomous vehicle.

A vehicle safety system of a vehicle facilitates safe exigency ingress into a vehicle. The vehicle safety system may receive data associated with a condition of the vehicle (e.g., from sensors, components, remote signals, passenger input, etc.). Based at least in part on the data associated with the condition of the vehicle, the vehicle safety system may detect a triggering event associated with the ingress of a passenger compartment of the vehicle. Based at least in part on the triggering event, the vehicle safety system may perform a vehicular safety measure associated with ingress to the passenger compartment of the vehicle.

Facilitation of ingress to a passenger compartment of a vehicle

Techniques relating to multi-passenger interaction via display(s) of a vehicle are described. In an example, sensor data is received from a sensor associated with an interior of a vehicle. Based at least partly on the sensor data, a first occupancy state associated with a first seat of the vehicle and a second occupancy state associated with a second seat of the vehicle can be determined. Content to present via displays associated with the first seat and/or the second seat can be determined based at least in part on the first occupancy state and the second occupancy state and can be presented via each respective display.
