Abstract: A powered tailgate opening system having object collision protection is disclosed for reducing the risk of collision with an object during opening of the tailgate. The opening system has an object distance sensor to sense a distance to an object during movement of the tailgate and an opening angle sensor for sensing an angle of opening of the tailgate. A memory stores limit distance values which vary according to different angles of opening of the tailgate and a controller controls a tailgate movement drive mechanism according to a determination of whether a sensed distance at a sensed angle of opening is less than the stored limit distance value for that sensed angle of opening.

The connector body includes a deflectable latching member and at least one outer detent feature located on an outer surface of the connector body. The corresponding mating connector body is configured to be removably connected with the connector body, wherein the deflectable latching member is configured to secure the connector body to the corresponding mating connector body. The CPA device is slidably positioned adjacent the connector body and moveable from a pre-stage position to a full-stage position, wherein the CPA device interacts with the at least one outer detent feature located on the outer surface of the connector body to deflect the connector body towards the corresponding mating connector body.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for training a machine-learning method comprises the following steps carried out by computer hardware components: determining measurement data from a first sensor; determining approximations of ground truths based on a second sensor; and training the machine-learning method based on the measurement data and the approximations of ground truths; wherein approximations of ground truths of lower-approximation quality have a lower effect on the training than approximations of ground truths of higher-approximation quality.

Abstract: A system for generating a 3D reflective surface map includes a positioning system, one or more antennas co-located with the positioning system, and a processing system. The positioning system calculates a position estimate. The one or more antennas co-located with the positioning system are configured to receive at least one reflected global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signal associated with a respective GNSS satellite and wherein a pseudo-range to the GNSS satellite is determined based on the reflected GNSS signal. The processing system is configured to receive the position estimate and the pseudo-ranges calculated with respect to each reflected GNSS signal, wherein the processing system maps a reflective surface based on the calculated pseudo-range provided by the reflected GNSS signals, the position estimate, angle-of-arrival of each reflected GNSS signal, and known satellite location of each respective gnss satellite.

Abstract: A device for determining position information includes a detector that is configured to detect a position of the device and a processor that is configured to determine the position information based on a primary position indication from the detector and a secondary position indication from a second detector that is distinct from the detector. The processor determines the position information by aligning the primary position indication with the secondary position indication based on identifying a pattern of the primary position indication that corresponds with a pattern of the secondary position indication.

Abstract: This document describes techniques and systems for a road-perception system to estimate a belief and plausibility of lanes in a road model. The road-perception system models lanes of a road using basis bands to represent lane sections. The basis bands comprise points representing a polyline with a width at each point. The use of basis bands results in lower-computational requirements and a more stable road model than grid-based representations of a driving environment. The road-perception system also determines a belief mass associated with the lane sections. The road-perception system then computes, using the belief masses, a belief parameter and a plausibility parameter associated with proposed lanes of the road model. In this way, the described techniques and systems can provide an accurate and reliable road model and quantify uncertainty therein.
