    Abstract: A connector assembly includes, a connector-body, a dress-cover, a strain-relief-device, and a housing. The a connector-body retains electrical-terminals connected to cables enclosed in conduit. The dress-cover is attached to the connector-body and routes the cables. The dress-cover has sides and a base that receive the connector-body. The strain-relief-device is attached to the dress-cover. The strain-relief-device has a close-out panel having opposed side-edges, a top-edge and a bottom-edge. The housing has walls and a bottom configured to receive the connector-body, the dress-cover, and the strain-relief-device. The walls define a slot, and the connector-body, dress-cover, and a portion of the strain-relief-device are disposed within the slot. The walls have opposing-channels on a first-side and a second-side of the slot and terminate at the stops. The opposing-channels slideably engage the opposed side-edges. The bottom-edge engages the stops when the connector-body, the dress-cover and the portion of the strain-relief-device are disposed within the slot.

    Abstract: A positioning system includes a forward-viewing camera, a ranging-sensor, and one or more controller-circuits. The forward-viewing camera detects lane-markings on a roadway ahead of a host-vehicle traveling in a travel-lane. The ranging-sensor detects a position of an other-vehicle traveling on the roadway behind the host-vehicle. The one or more controller-circuits are in communication with the forward-viewing camera and the ranging-sensor. The one or more controller-circuits determine lane-widths characterized by pairs of opposed control-points at a first-distance ahead of the host-vehicle, track relative-positions of the control-points while the host-vehicle is traveling along the roadway, determine a rear-side road-model based on a temporal-history of the relative-positions of the control-points, determine a lateral-offset of the other-vehicle based on the rear-side road-model, and operate the host-vehicle in accordance with the lateral-offset.

    Abstract: A system for operating an automated-taxi includes a perception-sensor, a communication-device, and a controller-circuit. The perception-sensor is operable to determine a location of an object aboard an automated-taxi. The communication-device is operable to communicate with a client of the automated-taxi. The controller-circuit is in communication with the perception-sensor and the communication-device. The controller-circuit is configured to determine that the location of the object is not in compliance with an operational-requirement of the automated-taxi based on signals or information from the perception-sensor, and operate the communication-device to send a message that indicates the client will be charged a fee for failing to re-locate the object so that the location of the object is in compliance with the operational-requirement of the automated-taxi.

    Abstract: A transportation system for operating an automated-taxi includes a power-connection and a controller-circuit. The power-connection is used to establish an electrical-connection between an automated-taxi and a charged-battery that was brought to the automated-taxi by a client of the automated-taxi. The charged-battery provides electrical-energy to propel the automated-taxi while connected. The controller-circuit is in communication with the power-connection. The controller-circuit is configured to assess a fee for transporting the client to a destination by the automated-taxi. The fee is determined in accordance with an energy-value drawn from the charged-battery while the client is being transported.

    Abstract: A positioning system includes a positioning-device, a second-transceiver, and one or more controller-circuits. The positioning-device determines a position of a vehicle moving proximate a power-transfer-zone. The positioning-device includes a first-transceiver transmitting signals indicative of the position relative to the power-transfer-zone. The second-transceiver is installed on the vehicle and receives the signals from the first-transceiver. The one or more controller-circuits are in communication with the positioning-device, the first-transceiver, the second-transceiver, and the vehicle. The positioning-device associates with the vehicle when the second-transceiver is within a sensing-range of the first-transceiver thereby directing the vehicle into the power-transfer-zone.
