Abstract: A vehicle seat and storage system includes a vehicle seat having a seat base and a seat back extending from the seat base. A storage apparatus is connected to the seat back and is movable from a stowed position against the seat back to an extended position away from the seat back. The storage apparatus is configured to position and secure one or more cargo items. A seat motor is operably connected to the seat. The seat motor is configured to move the seat back from a first position extending upward from the seat base to a second position where the seat back is disposed flat against the seat base.

Abstract: A test system for detecting impairment aboard a motor vehicle includes an electronic control unit (ECU) and sensors in communication therewith. The sensors are positioned within a vehicle interior, and include at least a touch screen and a microphone, and possibly an eye-tracking camera. In response to receiving a start request indicative of a requested start event of the motor vehicle, the ECU executes instructions to initiate a cognitive response test via the sensors. The ECU determines a test score of a driver during the test while the motor vehicle remains off, compares the test score to baseline scores to determine a passing or failing test result, and executes a control action aboard the motor vehicle in response to the passing or failing test result. The ECU may disable or immobilize the motor vehicle in response to the failing test result.

Abstract: A method includes generating a first beam pattern via a headlamp assembly arranged on a motor vehicle and detecting, via a camera, an object in the first light beam pattern. The method additionally includes receiving, via an electronic controller, a signal from the camera indicative of the object, identifying the object as another motor vehicle, and determining a distance between the headlamp assembly and the other vehicle. The method also includes determining a first amount of glare the first beam pattern generates to the other vehicle at the determined distance and identifying when the first amount of glare exceeds target glare. The method further includes identifying a second beam pattern corresponding to a second amount of glare that is below the target glare and switching the headlamp assembly from generating the first beam pattern to generating the second light beam pattern.

Abstract: An entry/egress system for a vehicle includes a housing mountable to a structural member in the vehicle. An actuator is arranged at the housing. The actuator is connectable to a source of electrical power in the vehicle. A lift mechanism is operatively connected to the actuator. A support member is operatively connected to the lift mechanism. The support member is selectively shiftable between a user entry position and a user egress position. A control system is operatively connected to the actuator. The control system is operable to shift the support member to one of the user entry position and the user egress position.

Abstract: A method for controlling forward lighting of a vehicle includes projecting, from a headlamp of the vehicle, an optimization pattern ahead of the vehicle and capturing, by a vehicle sensor, image data of the optimization pattern. The method also includes receiving, by a vehicle controller, the image data of the optimization pattern, measuring, from the image data, a headlamp aim offset defined as a difference in a position of the optimization pattern from a nominal position, and controlling an aim of the headlamp of the vehicle based on the headlamp aim offset.
