Disclosed are devices, systems, and methods for a LiDAR mirror assembly mounted on a vehicle, such as an autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle. For example, a LiDAR mirror assembly may include a base plate mounted on a hood of a vehicle, where the base plate is coupled to one end of a support arm. The opposite end of the support arm is attached to a housing. The housing includes a top housing enclosure coupled to a bottom housing platform, where a sensor and a mirror is coupled to the housing, and where the sensor is at least partially exposed through an opening in the top housing enclosure. The opening for the sensor is situated near an end of the housing furthest away from the base plate.

A vehicular lamp fitting and the like in which a radar unit can be replaced without replacing the whole vehicular lamp fitting are provided. A vehicular lamp fitting includes a lamp housing, an outer lens attached to the lamp housing and forming a lamp chamber between the outer lens and the lamp housing, a lamp unit disposed in the lamp chamber, a bracket, and a radar unit detachably fixed to the bracket.

A motor vehicle roof module having a panel component whose outer surface at least partially forms the roof skin of the vehicle roof and serves as an outer sealing surface of the roof module, and at least one environmental sensor by means of which a vehicle environment can be detected during autonomous or semi-autonomous driving of the motor vehicle. The roof module has a kinematic system having a drive and configured to move the at least one environmental sensor from a retracted position into a deployed position, in which the at least one environmental sensor protrudes beyond the roof skin to detect the vehicle environment, and to fix the at least one environmental sensor at least in the deployed position in such a manner that the at least one environmental sensor cannot be moved by an external force.

A composite pane for a vehicle with an outer pane and an inner pane that are joined to one another via a thermoplastic intermediate layer and the composite pane is provided for separation of a vehicle interior for occupants from an external environment, wherein at least one radar sensor is integrated into the thermoplastic intermediate layer and is designed and arranged such that the radar sensor emits radar beams into the vehicle interior and receives reflected radar beams, and the radar sensor is connected to an evaluation unit for determining movement and/or presence of persons or animals in the vehicle interior.

A telescopic sensor system for an autonomous vehicle enables sensors located on movable telescopic apparatuses to obtain sensor data when an object obstructs an area scanned by fixed sensors. An example method of controlling a movable telescopic apparatus on an autonomous vehicle includes obtaining, from a first sensor located on the autonomous vehicle, a first sensor data of a first area relative to a location of the autonomous vehicle, performing, from the first sensor data, a first determination that a view of the first area is obstructed, causing, in response to the first determination, a second sensor coupled to the movable telescopic apparatus to extend to a pre-determined position, and obtaining, from the second sensor, a second sensor data of a second area relative to the location of the autonomous vehicle, where the second area includes at least some of the first area.

A left vehicle lamp (2L) includes a lamp housing (14), a lamp cover (12) that covers an opening of the lamp housing (14), an illumination unit (3, 4) that is disposed inside a lamp chamber (S) formed by the lamp housing (14) and the lamp power bar (12), a radar (5) configured to acquire a radar data indicating a surrounding environment of a vehicle by emitting radio waves toward the outside of the vehicle, and a light guide member (6) that is disposed in a manner of facing the radar (5) so as to hide at least a part of the radar (5) from the outside of the vehicle and is configured to transmit radio waves emitted from the radar (5). The radar (5) is disposed outside the housing (S). The light guide member (6) is configured to emit light toward the outside of the vehicle.

A thermoplastic resin composition for a millimeter-wave radar member, is provided, which comprises, relative to 100 parts by mass of a polybutylene terephthalate resin (A), 15 to 65 parts by mass of a rubber-reinforced polystyrene resin (B1) and/or 10 to 70 parts by mass of a polycarbonate resin (B2) as a component (B), 0.1 to 3 parts by mass of an epoxy compound (D), and 30 to 150 parts by mass of glass fiber (E).

Among other things, techniques are described for a universal calibration target. The universal calibration target includes a core and an outer body. The core is core associated with a first salient property. The outer body is associated with a second salient property. The first salient property and the second salient property are configured to be observed by a sensor modality, and the first salient property and the second salient property correspond to at least one sensor of a vehicle.

An electromagnetic wave transmission cover includes: a design portion disposed on a front side of a vehicular electromagnetic wave device and exposed to an outside of a passenger compartment of a vehicle; a housing integrated with the design portion and disposed on a back side of the design portion; and a heating element provided integrally with the design portion. The housing is lower in thermal conductivity than the design portion.
