Abstract: A vehicle state indication system includes a light indicator and a controller. The light indicator includes a first on mode and second on mode, and is disposed on a vehicle so as to be capable of selectively externally indicating a first state of the vehicle and a second state of the vehicle at least in a forward direction of the vehicle. The controller is programmed to determine whether the vehicle intends to enter the first state or the second state, and to activate the first on mode while the vehicle intends to enter the first state and the second on mode while vehicle intends to enter the second state.

Abstract: A vehicle storage compartment assembly has a bottom wall, a first and second upright walls and a top wall. The first upright wall, the second upright wall and the top wall are each formed with a breakaway structure. A first section is defined on a first side and a second section is defined on a second side of the breakaway structure. The bottom wall extends from the first section to the second section in the absence of the breakaway structure. The first section, the second section and the bottom wall define a storage space. The breakaway structure is configured such that in response to one of the first section and the second section receiving an impacting force the breakaway structure breaks separating the first section from the second section along the first upright wall, the second upright wall and the top wall.

Abstract: An alignment method for a vehicle wireless charging system, that includes detecting reception of electromagnetic radiation received by a vehicle-side coil from a transmitter coil with the vehicle-side coil at a current position relative to the transmitter coil. Other steps include determining efficiency of electromagnetic radiation reception by the vehicle-side coil, and determining whether or not the efficiency of electromagnetic radiation reception by the vehicle-side coil achieves a predetermined level of reception efficiency. Further steps include repositioning the vehicle-side coil in response to determining that the efficiency of the electromagnetic radiation reception is less than the predetermined level of reception efficiency, and repeating the determining of the efficiency of electromagnetic radiation reception and the repositioning the vehicle-side coil until the determined efficiency is equal to or greater than the predetermined level of reception efficiency.
