Abstract: A vehicle comprises an image projector assembled to an underbody of the vehicle. The image projector has a bracket, a housing and an image emitter. The bracket is fixed to the underbody. The bracket has a plurality of first indentations. The housing has a plurality of second indentations that mate with the first indentations. The housing is adjustably disposed with respect to the bracket along the first and second indentations. The image emitter is provided in the housing and at least partially extends from the housing. The angle between the image emitter and the bracket changes as the housing is adjusted with respect to the bracket.

Abstract: Trajectory planning include identifying state data based on sensor data from sensors of a vehicle. The state data are input to a machine-learning model to obtain parameters of a trajectory planner. The parameters are input to the trajectory planner to obtain a short term speed plan. The vehicle is autonomously controlled according to at least a portion of the short term speed plan.

Abstract: A vehicle on-board unit for a host vehicle comprises a communication system and an electronic controller. The communication system is programmed to electronically receive travel information from one or more preceding vehicles that are traveling ahead of the host vehicle in a lane. The electronic controller includes a vehicle path determination component programmed to determine a travel path of the host vehicle in the lane in which the host vehicle is currently traveling. The electronic controller further includes a target vehicle speed determination component programmed to determine a target vehicle speed for the host vehicle based on the travel information received from the one or more preceding vehicles. The travel information includes traveling speed of a predetermined group of preceding vehicles.

Abstract: A method of displaying road information in a host vehicle includes receiving with the host vehicle the road information acquired by another vehicle. The road information includes information about a portion of a road ahead of a current portion of the road upon which the host vehicle is traveling. An information presentation time is determined at which the road information is configured to be presented in the host vehicle. The road information is presented in the host vehicle at the determined information presentation time.

Abstract: A lighting system may be for a vehicle cup holder installed in a vehicle. The lighting system may include a first inductive member to be positioned adjacent a back side of the vehicle cup holder, and a first controller configured to inductively couple power and command signals through the first inductive member. The lighting system may also include a lighting device to be positioned adjacent a front side of the vehicle cup holder. The lighting device, in turn, may include a second inductive member configured for inductive coupling with the first inductive member, at least one light, and a second controller configured to operate the at least one light based upon power and command signals inductively coupled to the second inductive member from the first inductive member.

Abstract: A rear door assembly includes a vehicle body structure, a rear door and a four-bar linkage assembly. The vehicle body structure has a roof structure and a side wall defining a rear door opening. The four-bar linkage assembly supports the rear door for movement between open and closed orientations. The four-bar linkage includes a rearward member, a support bracket and a forward member. A first end of the rearward member is pivotally attached to an upright portion of the side wall and a second end attached to the rear door. A rearward end of the support bracket is fixed to the roof structure and is cantilevered therefrom. The forward member has a first end attached to the rearward end of the support bracket and a second end attached to the rear door inboard of the rearward member. The first end of the rearward member is outboard of the support bracket.

Abstract: A handle base bracket has a first handle receiving section and a fastener opening that extends through the first handle receiving section. In a fully assembled state the outboard surface of the handle base bracket overlays a portion of an inboard surface of a door panel. A first fastener member extends through the first handle opening and into the fastener opening. A head portion overlays a portion of the outboard surface of the door panel adjacent to the first handle opening. A metallic bracket has a main section fixedly attached to the handle base bracket. First and second side flanges of the metallic bracket extend toward the inboard surface of the door panel. An operation handle has a grip portion outboard of the door panel and a protrusion extending into the first handle receiving section of the handle base bracket.

Abstract: An autonomous vehicle traverses a vehicle transportation network using a multi-objective policy based on a model for specific scenarios. The multi-objective policy includes a topographical map that shows a relationship between at least two objectives. The autonomous vehicle receives a candidate vehicle control action associated with each of the at least two objectives. The autonomous vehicle selects a vehicle control action based on a buffer value that is associated with the at least two objectives. The autonomous vehicle traverses a portion of the vehicle transportation network in accordance with the selected vehicle control action.
