A method for detecting, a roadside object including, a three-dimensional object in the vicinity of a vehicle on a road surface includes recording at least one data set including a plurality of data points associated with a region in a lateral vicinity of the vehicle, the region at least partially including at least one wheel of the vehicle and the road surface, where each data point includes according, to whether it corresponds to the at least one wheel to the road surface or to the roadside object, determining a distance between a data point classified as corresponding to the at least one wheel and a data point classified as corresponding to the roadside object and generating a signal if the distance is below at least one threshold value.

Method and device for detecting a roadside object

A vehicle includes one or more sensors arranged on at least one of a dashboard, a roof, and a center console of the vehicle, or one or more image capturing devices for capturing one or more images from a left side and a right side of the vehicle, an electronic control unit (ECU) configured to communicate with the one or more sensors or the one or more image capturing devices, and at least one of a morphing surface, a windshield display, and one or more displays configured to be controlled by the ECU, where the one or more sensors are arranged under a black panel surface.

Autonomous vehicles and methods of using same

An autonomous vehicle system, and a method of using same, includes an eye or face tracking sensor for tracking a user's movements or expressions, a head up display for displaying information to the user, an instrument cluster for providing driving measurements of the autonomous vehicle, a time of flight sensor, a camera monitor system for displaying a side or rear view of the vehicle, and a control unit to communicate with the eye or face tracking sensor, the head up display, the time of flight sensor, and the camera monitor system when receiving a request to turn over driving controls to the user.

Autonomous vehicles with control retaking systems and methods of using same

An exterior rearview system for an autonomous vehicle includes a housing adapted for mounting to an exterior side of a vehicle, the housing holding at least one of a reflective element or display screen for displaying to a driver a rear or side image of the vehicle, one or more lighting modules disposed in the housing and providing an adaptive lighting sector which is adaptively controlled, and a control system configured to receive input data related to at least one of a user's intention using a tracking sensor and a user's retaking control of the autonomous vehicle.

Exterior rearview device with illumination functions and autonomous vehicles using same

A single-seater motor vehicle includes (1) a support body having a plurality of supporting arms that are mounted in a horizontally and vertically displaceable manner; (2) a vehicle seat arranged on a support body; (3) a control device; and (4) a plurality of wheels, wherein each of said wheels is arranged adjustably or pivotably on a supporting arm. The support body the supporting arms can be set in at least three positions by automatic or manual adjustment of the vehicle seat height.
