Abstract: A vehicle display assembly may comprise a transparent element defining a viewing surface, a display element disposed behind the transparent element, and a printed circuit board in electrical communication with the display element. The display element is configured to generate an image visible through the transparent element. The vehicle display assembly may be in communication with at least one of a vehicle sensor and a vehicle computer. The images appearing in the display element may change orientation based on the presence or absence of a vehicle occupant.

Abstract: A blocked imager detection system includes a rearview assembly having an actuator device. The actuator device is adjustable to tilt an electro-optic element, thereby moving the electro-optic element to an off-axis position which changes an activation state of a display module. The actuator device is also adjustable to tilt the electro-optic element in another direction, thereby moving the electro-optic element to an on-axis position which changes the activation state of the display module. An imager is configured to capture image data of a scene external to the controlled vehicle and to generate image data for display on the display module. When a controller determines that the operational capability of the imager to capture image data is at least partially diminished, the controller can generate a control signal indicating that imager performance has been compromised and deactivate the display module.

Abstract: A vehicle occupant identification system includes a detection system configured to detect that an individual is proximate a vehicle. The detection system is configured to detect the proximity of an individual by detecting at least one of a door unlock, a key fob, a door opening, a door closing, a seated passenger, and an individual proximate the vehicle. A controller is operably coupled with the detection system and is configured to activate an identification system. The identification system includes an imager configured to illuminate an eye of an occupant of the vehicle and capture at least one image of an iris and a pupil of the eye. A processor is configured to compare the at least one image of the iris of the eye of the occupant with previously stored iris information to identify the occupant and activate the vehicle.

Abstract: A window assembly includes a window having an electro-optic device configured to limit light transmissivity through the window and a geographic positioning system. A controller is in communication with the geographic positioning system and is configured to limit a range of light transmissivity of the electro-optic device based on a location detected by the geographic positioning system. A manual adjustment control configured to allow a user to adjust the light transmissivity of the window based on the range of light transmissivity provided by the controller.

Abstract: A method for processing a security authorization is disclosed. The method comprises capturing biometric data with a scanning apparatus of the authentication system and comparing the biometric data to authentication data. The authentication data comprises an identification profile configured to authenticate a previously identified individual. The method further comprises authenticating the previously identified individual based on the identification profile thereby identifying an authorized user and accessing a plurality of occupant parameters in response to the authentication profile. The occupant parameters are then communicated to the vehicle control system. The vehicle control system is configured to load the occupant parameters to customize one or more operational settings of a vehicle.
