Abstract: According to one aspect, a distance determination system for a vehicle includes a monoscopic imager, and a distance determination module in communication with the monoscopic imager and configured to receive vehicle position data. The distance determination module includes a vehicle position determination sub-module configured to determine a first and second position of the vehicle based on the vehicle position data. A feature identification sub-module is configured to capture a first image at the first position using the monoscopic imager, capture a second image at the second position using the monoscopic imager, identify at least one feature in the first image, and identify the at least one feature in the second image. A distance estimation sub-module is configured to determine a difference between the first and second position of the vehicle, identify a difference in position of the at least one feature, and determine an estimated distance.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly including a first connector having a first electrical conductor. A second connector is engagable with the first connector and has a second electrical conductor. The first and second electrical conductors establish an electrical connection through the electrical connector assembly when in contact together. A lock mechanism is arranged to both lock the first and second connectors together and to enable contact between the first and second conductors when the first and second connectors are in a fully engaged relation. A method of establishing an electrical connection through an electrical connector assembly is also included.

Abstract: A park assist system for providing guidance to park a vehicle into a parking area is disclosed. The park assist system includes an imaging device, at least one indicator, and a control module. The imaging device acquires image data representative of a field of view (FOV). The indicator provides feedback to guide the vehicle into the parking area. The control module is in communication with the imaging device and the at least one indicator. The control module includes control logic for monitoring image data representative of the viewable area. The control module includes control logic for determining if a specific predetermined object is located within the FOV. The specific predetermined object indicates the presence of the parking area. The control module includes control logic for activating the at least one indicator to provide feedback regarding the parking area.
