    Abstract: This disclosure is generally directed to systems and methods for eliminating false activation of components of a vehicle when the vehicle is parked in a garage. Example components can be a door lock, a door latch, a door activation servomotor, or a light. In an example method, a vehicle entry authorization system of a vehicle operates a sensor system to obtain dimensional information of an interior portion of the garage. The vehicle entry authorization system may then detect a presence of a mobile device (such as a phone-as-a-key or a vehicle key fob) and determines the location of the mobile device based on the dimensional information. If the mobile device is located outside the garage, the vehicle entry authorization system refrains from activating a component of the vehicle. However, if the mobile device is located inside the garage, the vehicle entry authorization system activates the component.

    Abstract: A system (100) and method for finding a likely available parking spot within a geographical area are disclosed. The system (100) may be configured to receive a request for directions for a first vehicle (702) to an open parking spot within a particular geographical area (210, 214), receive sensor information indicating potential open parking spots (346, 348), identify likely available parking spots (346, 348), and receive information regarding other vehicles searching for parking in the same geographical area. The system may use the identified likely available spots and the information regarding other vehicles searching for parking when computing a route (218, 220) to a likely available parking spot.

    Abstract: A parking assisting method, device and system for a motor vehicle are provided. The parking assisting method includes the following steps: obtaining a relative position of an available parking spot relative to the motor vehicle; outputting a display instruction to the digital projector according to the relative position of the available parking spot relative to the motor vehicle; and projecting a projection image to the available parking spot by the digital projector according to the display instruction. The projection image is provided for indicating the available parking spot area will be occupied. The display instruction includes an image position for the projection image, so as to change the position of the projection image in the projection range, so that the position of the projection image in the available parking spot is substantially kept unchanged.

    Abstract: A system for communicating information about parking space availability can include a processor and a memory. The memory can store a calculations module and a communications module. The calculations module can include instructions that cause the processor to: (1) obtain a current count of spaces available for parking in an area designated for parking and (2) calculate, based on the current count and information, a revised count of the spaces. The information can indicate that a second vehicle has moved into or out of the area. The communications module can include instructions that cause the processor to: (1) receive, from a first vehicle, the information and (2) cause the revised count to be communicated to a component of a vehicle, in a vicinity of the area, for an action to be performed. The first vehicle can be parked. The information can be received via a sensor of the first vehicle.
