Battery replacement control device and battery replacement control system

A delivery system includes a cooking station, a meal serving station, a drone, a meal conveying device configured to convey a meal from the cooking station to the meal serving station, and a controlling portion. A character of a theme park is displayed on the drone. The controlling portion causes the drone to fly from the cooking station to the meal serving station and causes the meal conveying device to convey the meal from the cooking station to the meal serving station such that, just after the drone has arrived at the meal serving station, the meal conveyed by the meal conveying device is served to a visitor from the meal serving station.

Delivery system

A vehicle display control device includes: an acceleration prediction section that predicts a direction of an acceleration acting on a vehicle based on information including at least one of: information regarding a planned travel path of the vehicle, information acquired from a periphery information detection sensor that detects information regarding a vehicle periphery, or information acquired from an acceleration sensor that detects an acceleration of the vehicle; and a display control section that, in a case in which an acceleration predicted by the acceleration prediction section is greater than a predetermined threshold, displays a direction of the predicted acceleration at a display portion in a vehicle cabin.

Vehicle seats that includes: a pair of seatbacks of front seats spaced apart in a vehicle width direction; and a pair of retaining portions provided at rear face sides of the pair of seatbacks, the pair of retaining portions configured to allow a rod-shaped member to span between the seatbacks, the rod-shaped member being grippable by a vehicle occupant sitting at a rear seat middle.

Vehicle seats

Vehicle fluid conduit systems and protectors for such systems are presented. Fluid conduit systems can include a fuel fill system having a fuel filler tube, a re-circulation tube, and a protector. In some embodiments, the protector can include a protector bracket and a bolting plate that extend around the fuel filler tube and re-circulation tube. The protector can include a strap. The strap can extend between the fuel filler tube and re-circulation tube between two or more protector attachment locations.

Protection of vehicle fluid conduits

There is provided a vehicle front portion structure including: a front pillar having a lower portion disposed on a vehicle rear side of a front wheel well; a rocker having a front end portion joined to a lower end portion of the lower portion of the front pillar; and a reinforcing member that is formed with a length in a vehicle up and down direction, is disposed near a vehicle front side in the lower portion of the front pillar, reinforces a front portion side of the lower portion, and is not joined to the rocker.
