摘要： A driver face authentication system provided in a movable apparatus includes a first imaging unit that captures a face of a driver at a first angle, a second imaging unit that captures the driver's face at a second angle different from the first angle, a boarding detection unit that detects that the driver is aboard the movable apparatus, and a face authentication unit that, after the boarding detection unit detects that the driver is aboard the movable apparatus, based on a video captured by the first imaging unit and a video captured by the second imaging unit, determines whether the driver captured by the first and second imaging units is a legitimate driver of the movable apparatus.

摘要： A vehicular interior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head pivotally adjustable about a mirror support. The mirror head includes a video display device disposed rearward of a prismatic mirror reflective element having a transflective mirror reflector. A touch sensor is disposed at the prismatic mirror reflective element and is associated with circuitry at a flexible printed circuit of the video display device. The video display device is operable to display video images captured by a rearward viewing camera of the vehicle. Light emitted by the video display device passes through the transflective mirror reflector for viewing of displayed video images by the driver of the vehicle viewing the prismatic mirror reflective element. The reflective region of the transflective mirror reflector of the prismatic mirror reflective element reflects at least 40 percent of visible light incident at the front side of the prismatic mirror reflective element.

摘要： A mounting base is mounted to a windshield surface. A support stay is mounted to the mounting base via a support stay mounting leaf spring by being rotated in a direction around a rotation axis. A support stay mounting surface of the mounting base and a mounted surface of the support stay include abutment support structures. The abutment support structures bring the support stay mounting surface and the mounted surface into abutment with each other via a plurality of abutment support portions surrounding the rotation axis to make the support stay be supported on the mounting base. The abutment support portions include a first abutment support portion disposed in an angle direction toward a lower side of a circumference around the rotation axis with the rotation axis as a center.

摘要： A vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly includes a mounting arm and a mirror head at one end of the mounting arm distal from an attachment portion of the mounting arm that is configured for attachment at a vehicle. A mirror reflective element is fixedly attached at the mirror head. An innermost side of the mirror reflective element is attached at a front side of an attachment plate. The mirror reflective element moves in tandem with movement of the mirror head relative to the mounting arm when the driver of the vehicle operates an electrically-operable actuator. The attachment plate includes wall structure that extends from the front side of the attachment plate and circumscribes and spans the perimeter circumferential edge of the glass substrate and does not encroach onto and does not overlap the front surface of the glass substrate of the exterior mirror reflective element.

摘要： A lidar receiver that includes a photodetector circuit can be controlled so that the detection intervals used by the lidar receiver to detect returns from fired laser pulse shots are closely controlled. Such control over the detection intervals used by the lidar receiver allows for close coordination between a lidar transmitter and the lidar receiver where the lidar receiver is able to adapt to variable shot intervals of the lidar transmitter (including periods of high rate firing as well as periods of low rate firing). The lidar receiver can define the detection intervals based on a region in the field of view that a laser pulse shot is targeting (e.g., setting longer detection intervals for laser pulse shots targeting a horizon region, setting shorter detection intervals for laser pulse shots targeting a region that intersects within the ground within a relatively short distance of the lidar system).
