Systems and methods for detecting low impact collisions for a vehicle (). The system includes at least one sensor (--) and an electronic controller (). The electronic controller () is configured to receive sensor data from the sensor (--) and determine one or more features of the sensor data received from the at least one sensor. The electronic controller () is further configured to determine if a collision has occurred based upon the one or more features of the sensor data, and take at least one action in response to determining that the collision has occurred.

Low impact crash detection for a vehicle

A system for assembling a vehicle platform includes a robotic assembly system having at least two robotic arms, a vision system capturing images of an assembly frame, and a control system configured to control the robotic assembly system to assemble the vehicle platform based on images from the vision system, force feedback from the at least two robotic arms, and a component location model. The control system is further configured to identify assembly features of a first component and a second component of the vehicle platform from the images, operate the robotic arms to orient the first component and the second component to respective nominal positions based on the images and the component location model, and operate the robotic arms to assemble the first component to the second component based on the force feedback.

Method and system for fixtureless assembly of a vehicle platform

A method of operating a remote view system with privacy protection and a remote view system with privacy protection. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving a request from a remote device for one or more images of a vehicle interior, receiving one or more images of the vehicle interior, determining whether a privacy key is located within the vehicle interior, determining whether one or more occupants are located within the vehicle interior, retrieving the privacy settings of the vehicle interior stored in memory, responsive to determining that the privacy key and the one or more occupants are located within the vehicle interior, generating one or more privacy images based on the one or more images and the privacy settings of the vehicle interior, controlling a transceiver to transmit the one or more privacy images to the remote device via an antenna.

Remote view system with privacy protection

A method and system for mitigating the impact of a vehicle collision senses location, speed, orientation, and direction of movement data of a host vehicle and an interfering vehicle that has moved or is moving into the path of the host vehicle. A control unit analyzes the data and determines whether a collision is unavoidable. If so, the control unit determines a vehicle path for the host vehicle that will minimize the effects of the collision. By changing the vehicle path, the impact of the collision is less direct and the effect on both of the vehicles is mitigated to some degree.

Impact mitigation by intelligent vehicle positioning

An automotive suspension assemblyis provided, including an upper control arm, a lower control armand a knuckle. The lower control armis rotatably affixed to the knuckleby way of a lower mount jointrotatably engaging a lower rotational joint. The upper control armis rotatably affixed to the knuckleby way of an upper mount jointrotatably engaging an upper rotational joint, the upper mount jointincluding an upper control arm shaftpositioned within a slotted guidesuch that the camber is adjustable by adjusting the position of the upper control arm shaftwithin the slotted guide

Automotive camber adjust mechanism

A vehicular frame assembly having a pair of members which are generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of symmetry of the vehicle which is constructed by use of the frame assembly Each member is connected by use of members and and has a pair of portions which each have a relatively tall sectional height which include an aperture A unique one of the half shafts and are received within each of these apertures thereby allowing the portions to have a relatively tall sectional height and thereby allowing the frame assembly to have a lowest resonant frequency mode in excess of about fifty hertz.
