    Abstract: A light bracket assembly includes a mounting bracket and a hollow member. The mounting bracket is configured to be connected to a sport bar of a vehicle. The mounting bracket includes an upper member, a lower member, and at least one support member. The lower member is configured to be connected to the sport bar. The least one support member extends between the upper member and the lower member. At least one opening is disposed in the upper member. Each of the at least one openings is configured to receive a light. The hollow member is configured to be connected to the mounting bracket. The hollow member substantially continuously surrounds the at least one support member.

    Abstract: A system receives GPS data and on-board sensor data from several connected vehicles indicating locations of nearby vehicles and objects. The system processes the data to create a shared-world model that includes locations and velocities of the connected vehicles and nearby vehicles and objects, and the system determines whether driving hazards exist, such as potential collisions. The system may transmit an alert to at least one of the connected vehicles, to cause the connected vehicle or a mobile device to present a warning message to a driver, such as a visual, audio, or haptic message, or to cause the connected vehicle to implement an action to avoid the driving hazard, such as activating emergency braking or altering course. The system may create, and transmit to a connected vehicle or mobile device, a lane-level traffic model indicating traffic density, traffic speed, and traffic throughput.

    Abstract: Prioritizing essential information for display within a vehicle notification system includes detecting a change in a traffic scene. The traffic scene encompasses a portion of a vehicle transportation network. In response to detecting the change in the traffic scene, it is determined that the traffic scene requires more than a defined level of operator engagement. In response to determining that the traffic scene requires more than the defined level of operator engagement, the traffic scene is stored to a traffic scene storage location. Further, it is determined that an operator is not aware of the traffic scene. Responsive to determining that the operator is not aware of the traffic scene, a control system of a vehicle notifies the operator that the traffic scene requires more than the defined level of operator engagement.

    Abstract: A nozzle assembly for a painting system including an outer wall, an inner wall and a pair of electrodes. The inner wall defines a paint passage through which paint is dispensed. The inner wall is spaced from the outer wall to define a fluid passage between an outer surface of the inner wall and an inner surface of the outer wall. The pair of electrodes extend circumferentially around an outer surface of the inner wall. The pair of electrodes are configured to be electrically connected to a power source. The fluid passage is configured to receive a fluid. Upon supplying power to the pair of electrodes, water droplets are separated from the fluid in the fluid passage and pass through the inner wall to coat an inner surface of the inner wall to facilitate movement of the paint through the paint passage.

    Abstract: An accent lighting system for a vehicle that includes a light module, which may be flexible or rigid in construction, and a transmitter. The light module includes a first inductive member, and the transmitter includes a second inductive member that is configured for electromagnetic communication with the first inductive member so as to create current in the first inductive member and thereby power the light module. The light module may be reconfigurable between unfolded and folded configurations and may emit light via a light-permeable diffuser that extends along an outer perimeter of the housing or via a display panel (e.g., an OLED screen).

    Abstract: A control signal generated based on real-time vehicle sensor data from multiple vehicles on a road segment is received by a processor of a vehicle. The processor uses at least a portion of the control signal to generate an adaptive cruise control parameter that includes a speed parameter and a headway parameter. The processor configures a cruise control module of the vehicle to use the adaptive cruise control parameter. The control signal may be generated using a machine-learning model trained to receive traffic data that includes at least one of traffic density, a distance between the vehicle and the road segment, a distance between the vehicle and a congested location, data indicative of traffic speed, and respective speeds of other vehicles proximate to the vehicle.
