    摘要: Methods, devices and apparatuses pertaining to U-turn assistance. The method may include receiving, by a computing device, vehicle information associated with a vehicle from a plurality of sensors that are placed on a plurality of locations of the vehicle and obtaining a length and a width of the vehicle based on the received vehicle information. The computing device may calculate a turning radius of the vehicle, and provide a recommendation for routing the vehicle based at least in part on the turning radius.

    摘要: Various expandable mirrors and a vehicle having the same are described. An expandable mirror may include a first pane having a first reflective surface and a second pane having a second reflective surface. The expandable mirror may also include a mechanism connected with each of the first and second panes. The mechanism may be actuated to expand a viewing area of the mirror such that the expanded viewing area includes both the first and second reflective surfaces. The expandable mirror may also include a third pane having a third reflective surface that contributes to the viewing area when the mirror is expanded. The expandable mirror may also include a manual button configured to actuate or de-actuate the mechanism when pressed. The expandable mirror may also include a positioning motor configured to adjust the orientation of the viewing area of the mirror.

    摘要: Method and apparatus are disclosed for condensation detection for vehicle surfaces via ambient light. An example vehicle includes a side mirror including a front surface and a back surface, a front sensor adjacent the front surface for collecting a first ambient light intensity, a back sensor adjacent the back surface for collecting a second ambient light intensity, and an opaqueness detector that detects whether condensation is on the side mirror based upon comparing the first ambient light intensity and the second ambient light intensity.
