    Abstract: A system for automatically adjusting a steering wheel of a vehicle may include a controller configured to generate a control signal for retracting a steering wheel to a collapsed position. The steering wheel may include a first half and a second half, and the system may include an actuator configured to collapse the steering wheel in response to the control signal. The actuator may be configured to fold the first and second halves of the steering wheel in a direction orthogonal to a direction of a longitudinal axis defined by a steering column, and retract the steering wheel along the direction of the longitudinal axis, towards a dashboard.

    Abstract: An adaptive cruise control system for a vehicle may include an access device configured to receive manual input and responsively generate control signals for use in controlling acceleration, braking and steering of a vehicle. The adaptive cruise control system may also include at least one additional device located remote from the access device and configured to receive manual input and responsively generate control signals for use in controlling acceleration, braking and steering of the vehicle. The adaptive cruise control system may further include a controller in communication with the access device and the at least one additional device. The controller may be configured to control acceleration, braking and steering of the vehicle based on the manual input received via the access device and the at least one additional device.

    Abstract: An auto-charging system is disclosed. The system may comprise a base and a set of lower arms. The set of lower arms may comprise a first lower arm and a second lower arm each having a first end and a second end. The first end of the first lower arm may be attached to the base, and the second ends of the first and second lower arms may be attached to a hinge joint. The system may further comprise an upper arm having a first end attached to the hinge joint and a second end, a charger arm having a first end attached to second end of the upper arm and a second end, the set of lower arms, the upper arm, and the charger arm being foldable into the base, and a charger attached to the second end of the charger arm.
