    摘要: An occupant protection system for a vehicle may include an expandable curtain and/or an expandable bladder configured to be expanded from a stowed state to a deployed state. In the deployed state, the expandable curtain may include first and second sides configured to extend along respective portions of first and second interior sides of the vehicle. The expandable curtain may also include a transverse portion extending between the first and second sides, and the first and second sides, and the transverse portion of the expandable curtain may form a contiguous barrier. The expandable bladder when deployed may be supported by the expandable curtain during contact by an occupant. The occupant protection system may also include a deployment control system configured to cause the expandable curtain and/or the expandable bladder to expand to the deployed state. The occupant protection system may be used in vehicles having a carriage-style seating arrangement.

    摘要: An occupant protection system for a vehicle may include an expandable curtain and/or an expandable bladder configured to be expanded from a stowed state to a deployed state. The system may also include a transverse ceiling trim panel and one or more side ceiling trim panels configured to be coupled to a ceiling of the vehicle, with the transverse ceiling trim panel extending substantially transversely with respect to the one or more side ceiling trim panels. Portions of the ceiling trim panels may be configured to deflect and allow expansion of the expandable curtain and/or the expandable bladder to the deployed state. The system may also include a deployment controller and one or more inflators configured to cause deployment of the expandable curtain at a first time and deployment of the expandable bladder at a second time after the first time.

    摘要: Techniques for using acoustic notifications output via a multi-channel speaker configuration for pedestrian notification are described. Computing device(s) can determine a plurality of signals for dynamically emitting a plurality of sounds via a plurality of speakers associated with an acoustic array disposed on a vehicle. Each signal of the plurality of signals can be emitted from speaker(s) of the plurality of speakers that is/are associated with a particular channel of a plurality of channels. Furthermore, the computing device(s) can cause a portion of the plurality of speakers to dynamically emit the plurality of sounds so that the plurality of sounds are spatialized across the at least one surface of the vehicle. As a result, a pedestrian proximate the vehicle can localize the vehicle as a source of the acoustic notification and perceive a size, or other geometric characteristic, of the vehicle.
