Disclosed are systems and methods for a vehicle and projector module. The vehicle can include a compartment. The vehicle can include a projector module configured to extend from the compartment to provide light to a projector screen.

Vehicle entertainment apparatus

A vehicle accessory system includes a tonneau cover to be adaptably disposed onto a vehicle in a first configuration and a second configuration. In the first configuration, the tonneau cover retractably overlaps a cargo area of the vehicle, in which the tonneau cover is attached to a perimeter of the cargo area via an attachment mechanism configured to cause the tonneau cover to extend so as to cover the cargo area and to retract so as to uncover the cargo area. In the second configuration, the tonneau cover detachably couples at a first end portion to a roof of the vehicle, such that a second end portion of the tonneau cover extends outward perpendicularly, relative to the vehicle, so as to at least partially overlap an area underneath the second end portion and alongside the vehicle.

A smart cable lock is provided that is configured to mechanically secure items and provide an automatic determination that securing is achieved. The smart cable may be integrated into a vehicle, or otherwise may communicate with a vehicle. The vehicle includes one or more ports configured to house the cable when not in use. In some embodiments, an accessory includes one or more ports configured to engage with the connector. In some embodiments, the cable is affixed to the vehicle at one end, using a retractor, for example, and can be unspooled, intertwined with equipment, and then secured to a port on the vehicle. The smart cable lock secures and releases a latch based on user indications and authorizations. For example, if the cable is destroyed or damaged, or an unauthorized indication is made, the cable lock system may sound an alarm, or otherwise alert the user.

Cable lock systems and methods

A roof rack system for affixing to a vehicle having a plurality of mounting locations system is provided. The roof rack system comprises a crossbar assembly comprising: an axis of motion, e.g., translational motion; an internal structure; a first section; a second section; a third section; a first end mount; and a second end mount. The first and second sections are configured to translate, in opposite directions, along the axis of motion relative to the internal structure. The internal structure is configured to cause the third section to be centered between the first and second sections as the first and second sections translate. The first and second end mounts are coupled to respective outboard portions of the first and second sections. The first and second end mounts are configured to mount to respective first and second mounting locations, e.g., mounting locations of the vehicle.

Extendable crossbar for a vehicle

Particular embodiments may provide a crossbar with a plurality of light sources and a controller. The controller may be configured to: determine a sequence of a vehicle and, in response to determining the sequence, cause a light source of the plurality of light sources to perform an action.

A roof rack system is provided for affixing to a vehicle having a plurality of mounting locations. The roof rack system comprises a crossbar comprising a first end and a second end. The crossbar is configured to allow mounting of equipment. The roof rack system further comprises a first stanchion coupled to the first end of the crossbar by a first swivel joint. The roof rack system further comprises a second stanchion coupled to the second end of the crossbar by a second swivel joint. The first and second stanchions are configured to mount to respective mounting locations of the plurality of mounting locations.

Articulating crossbar for a vehicle

A kitchen module for a vehicle includes a frame system for providing structural support, a rail system affixed to the frame system and the vehicle, and a plurality of kitchen components mounted to the frame system. The rail system is configured to allow the frame system to move relative to the vehicle. The plurality of kitchen components include a sink, a potable water tank, a waste-water tank, a rangetop, at least one drawer, a countertop, lights, any other suitable component, or any combination thereof. The vehicle, which may be an electric vehicle having a battery module, can include an electrical extension connecting an electric power source of the vehicle to the kitchen module. The electrical extension may be coupled to at least one of an actuator of the rail system and a rangetop.

Kitchen module for a vehicle

A vehicle may include an integrated connector system. The vehicle includes a body having an outer surface and a plurality of attachment ports arranged on the outer surface. The attachments ports include a recess that extends below the surrounding outer surface. Each attachment port is configured to receive and engage with an attachment plug of an accessory. In some embodiments, there are different types of attachment ports, configured to engage with respective types of attachment plugs. Various accessories may be engaged with the attachment ports, allowing a range of items and equipment to be secured to the vehicle.
