A laser radar mounting structure is for mounting a laser radar to a vehicle. The laser radar has an irradiation unit configured to irradiate an electromagnetic wave for detecting an object around the vehicle. The laser radar mounting structure includes: an installation hole provided near a front pillar on a windshield of the vehicle, near a rear pillar on a rear glass of the vehicle, near the front pillar on a roof of the vehicle, or near the rear pillar on the roof of the vehicle; the laser radar provided in the installation hole; and a cover portion that covers the laser radar and transmits the electromagnetic wave. The laser radar is provided in the installation hole such that the irradiation unit faces the outside of the vehicle through the cover portion.

A vehicle lamp in which a millimeter wave radar is disposed on an outer surface side of an outer lens covering a lamp chamber. The vehicle lamp includes: a holding bracket configured to hold the millimeter wave radar; and a radar cover configured to cover the millimeter wave radar. The holding bracket is fixed to the outer lens in a state of holding the millimeter wave radar, and the radar cover is fixed to the holding bracket in a state of covering the millimeter wave radar.

A vehicle front portion structure includes a cover; an absorber provided rearward of the cover of a vehicle, the absorber being configured to absorb energy of a collision between the cover and a collision body while allowing the cover to move rearward; a front grill provided rearward of the cover and above the absorber, the front grill being configured to move rearward along with the cover during the collision between the cover and the collision body; a radar device attached to the front grill; and a deformation limiting member provided outside a radio wave irradiation range of the radar device and in a space between the radar device and the front grill or the cover, the deformation limiting member being configured to limit deformation of the front grill or the cover to the radar device side during the collision between the cover and the collision body.

Vehicle front portion structure

An in-vehicle camera including: a camera component that records out of the vehicle through a window glass; a cover that covers the camera component from the vehicle interior side, with a gap existing between the cover and the window glass; and a blocker that is secured to a vehicle interior-side surface of the window glass inside the cover and is configured to allow passage of air between the inside and the outside of the cover via the gap while blocking light passing through the gap and reflected into the camera component.

A tibia pad has: a right foot placement portion having a right side horizontal portion formed horizontally and on which a passenger's right heel is placed, and a right side inclined portion formed at a vehicle front side of this right side horizontal portion and inclined with respect to a vehicle longitudinal direction to head toward a vehicle upper side while heading toward a vehicle front side; a pair of groove portions formed, at least in a bottom surface of the right side horizontal portion at the right foot placement portion, to extend along the vehicle longitudinal direction and to lined-up in a vehicle transverse direction; and a step portion formed at a transition portion between the right side horizontal and the right side inclined portions, and positioned between a rear and a front side ribs are formed at the right side horizontal and the right side inclined portions, respectively.

Tibia pad and tibia pad installation structure

A tibia pad has: a right foot placement portion having a right side horizontal portion positioned beneath and rearward of an accelerator pedal on which a passenger's heel who is stepping-on the accelerator pedal is placed, and a right side inclined portion integrally formed with a vehicle front side of the right side horizontal portion and positioned beneath the accelerator pedal; and a rib formed at least at a bottom surface of the right side horizontal portion at the right foot placement portion by a region between a pair of groove portions that are formed so as to extend along a vehicle longitudinal direction and so as to be lined-up in a vehicle transverse direction, and that is provided at a position that is offset toward a vehicle transverse direction one side with respect to a central line that passes-through a vehicle transverse direction central portion of the accelerator pedal.
