    摘要: A light module includes a light source configured for emitting an illumination beam, and an optical fiber guiding the illumination beam between a first end facing the light source and a second end opposite the light source. The light module further includes a reflector positioned at the second end of the optical fiber and reflecting the illumination beam back from the second end toward the first end of the optical fiber.

    摘要: A gear shift control system may include an output mechanism, first and second drive members and a drivetrain. The first drive member may be coupled to the output mechanism to drive the output mechanism and cause a transmission shift. The drivetrain includes a first input driven by the drive member during a first mode of operation and an output coupled to both the first input and the output mechanism to drive the output mechanism as commanded by the drive member. During a second mode of operation a second input is coupled to the output and a second drive member is coupled to the second input to drive the output mechanism through the second input and the output to cause a transmission gear shift. The second drive member may be laterally offset from the drivetrain and axially positioned within an axial height of the drivetrain.

    摘要: A roof rail system for a vehicle includes a stanchion extending away from the vehicle surface. The stanchion has an exterior surface connected to leading and trailing surfaces, and an inboard surface spaced apart from the outboard surface and connected to the leading and trailing surfaces. The leading surface faces forward, the trailing surface faces rearward, the outboard surface faces outward and the inboard surface faces inward. The stanchion has a cargo attachment feature having a first and second opening connected by a first passage. One of the outboard surface and the leading surface defines the first opening, and one of the inboard surface and the trailing surface defines the second opening. A plug is disposed within the first passage and defines a second passage extending from a first flexible aperture at an outer portion of the plug to a second flexible aperture at an inner portion of the plug.

    摘要: A sensor housing assembly for attachment to a vehicle includes a base portion having a first end, a second end, and an exterior decorative surface. The sensor housing assembly further includes a sensor housing portion adapted to house a Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensor and having a generally semi-cylindrical shape with a top portion and a bottom portion. The top portion forms a first end of the semi-cylindrical sensor housing portion and the bottom portion forms a second end of the semi-cylindrical sensor housing portion. The sensor housing portion is disposed between the first end and the second end of the base portion and extends outward from the exterior surface of the base portion. The sensor housing portion has a window disposed between the top portion and the bottom portion.
