A door handle locator system for a vehicle includes one or more modalities that provide sensory feedback to a user indicating a location of a door handle that is part of a door of the vehicle. The door handle locator system also includes one or more controllers in electronic communication with the one or more modalities. The one or more controllers execute instructions to receive a wireless signal indicating a location of the user with respect to the vehicle. The one or more controllers determine the user is approaching the vehicle based on the location of the user with respect to the vehicle. In response to determining the user is approaching the vehicle, the one or more controllers instruct the one or more modalities to provide the sensory feedback to the user indicating the location of the door handle.

Selective vehicle slowdown

A system for generating a floating three-dimensional image display within a vehicle includes an image chamber including a first display adapted to project a first image, a first reflector associated with the first display and a first passenger, a second display adapted to project a second image, and a second reflector associated with the second display and a second passenger, and a transparent display positioned between the first reflector and the first passenger, and between the second reflector and the second passenger, the first reflector adapted to reflect the first image from the first display to the first passenger, and the second reflector adapted to reflect the second image from the second display to the second passenger, and the transparent display adapted to display information to the first and second passengers within an image plane positioned in front of the perceived first and second images.

Adaptive interactive campfire display

A system includes a projector module configured to project a visual media for a user, a user tracking sensor configured to sense whether the user is observing the visual media, and a control module configured to detect whether the user is looking at the projector module based on the user tracking sensor, in response to detecting the user is looking at the projector module, control the projector module to initiate projecting of the visual media for the user, detect an interruption of the user observing the visual media based on the user tracking sensor, and in response to detecting the interruption of the user observing the visual media, control the projector module to pause projecting of the visual media for the user. Other example systems and methods for controlling projection of a visual media for a user in a vehicle are also disclosed.

Feedback systems for optimized display operation

A floodwater risk assessment system for a vehicle includes one or more cameras oriented to collect image data of floodwater located along a roadway the vehicle is traveling along, a time-of-flight sensor system that directs a laser beam towards a plurality of target points disposed along the floodwater one or more controllers in electronic communication with the one or more cameras and the time-of-flight sensor system. The one or more controllers execute instructions to determine a risk associated with crossing the floodwater at each of the plurality of target points located along the floodwater based on a flow speed of the floodwater and a floodwater depth. The one or more controllers generate a notification indicating the risk associated with crossing the floodwater at the plurality of target points located along the floodwater.

Floodwater risk assessment system for a vehicle

A system for identifying hidden bodies and providing augmentation within a head up display of a vehicle including at least one front camera adapted to collect images of an environment in front of the vehicle within and adjacent to a roadway on which the vehicle is traveling, an augmented reality head up display adapted to project an image upon an inner surface of a windshield of the vehicle, an augmented reality display adapted to project an image within the windshield, the controller adapted to use a trained neural network stored therein to map images captured by the at least one front camera to light field camera images stored within the trained neural network and to identify hidden bodies within the images captured by the at least one front camera, and display, within a windshield of the vehicle, augmentation graphics for the identified hidden bodies.
