Abstract: A vehicle includes at least one imaging device configured to generate image data indicative of a vicinity of the vehicle. The vehicle also includes a user interface display configured to display image data from the at least one imaging device. A vehicle controller is programmed to monitor image data for the presence of moving external objects within the vicinity, and to activate the user interface display to display image data in response to detecting a moving external object in the vicinity while the vehicle is at a rest condition. The controller is also programmed to assign a threat assessment value based on conditions in the vicinity of the vehicle, and upload image data to an off-board server in response to the threat assessment value being greater than a first threshold.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a vision system including at least one external image capture device to transmit image data and a user interface display to present image data received from the at least one image capture device. The vehicle also includes a controller programmed to increase a brightness of an exterior lamp in response to sensing an ambient light level less than an ambient light threshold. The controller is also programmed to modify at least one visual attribute of image data presented at the user interface display in response to an image light level less than a first image light threshold.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a vision system configured to output a signal indicative of exterior conditions in a vicinity of the vehicle and a temperature sensor configured to output a signal indicative of an interior temperature of the vehicle. The vehicle also includes a plurality of articulable openings arranged to allow fluid flow communication between an interior and an exterior of the vehicle. The vehicle further includes a controller programmed to adjust at least one articulable opening toward an open position in response to the interior temperature exceeding a temperature threshold. The controller is also programmed to adjust at least one articulable opening toward a closed position in response to detection via the vision system of a threat condition in the vicinity of the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a plurality of exterior lamps each arranged to cast a light pattern in a vicinity of the vehicle. The vehicle also includes at least one imaging device configured to capture image data indicative of the vicinity including at least one light pattern. The vehicle further includes a controller programmed to cause a variance action by a particular one of the plurality of exterior lamps, and monitor the image data for a change in a light pattern associated with the particular one of the exterior lamps. The controller is also programmed to generate a signal indicative of a fault condition associated with the particular one of the exterior lamps in response to no change in the light pattern.

Abstract: Some on-vehicle devices, such as air dams, air spoilers, and HVAC system baffles, may have movable components that are pulled from one position to another by shrinkage of a linear shape memory alloy (SMA) actuator. Upon an activation signal, the shrinkage of the SMA actuator occurs when it is resistance heated by an electrical current. It is found that useful information concerning the overall intended operation of the on-vehicle device may be obtained by computer analysis of the temporal variation of both current flow through the actuator and its electrical resistance as it is heated to perform its function in the device. A comparison of present current flow and variation of resistance, during activation of the device, with prescribed stored values can reveal malfunction of components of the device as it is being used, in place, on the vehicle.
