  • Patent number: 11168649
    Abstract: A quick connect fitting for coupling a first component of an evaporative emissions system of a vehicle to a second component of the evaporative emissions system is provided. In one example, the quick connect fitting includes an indicator section that includes a color-changing material that changes color based on an extent of deformation of the color-changing material, where secure coupling of the first component to the second component is dependent on the extent of deformation. In this way, it may be readily determined as to whether a particular quick connect fitting is securely connected, which may improve engine operation, reduce undesired emissions, and reduce warranty rates.

  • Publication number: 20210064051
    Abstract: A computer comprises a memory and a processor. The memory stores instructions executable by the processor to detect an occupant in a seat in a vehicle, the seat having a seat position in the vehicle, to receive a request for cargo loading of the vehicle at a specified loading location, to determine a vehicle orientation and path, including approaching the specified location oriented one of forward-facing and rear-facing, to stop the vehicle so that the seat position overlaps the loading location, and to operate the vehicle according to the orientation and path.
