Abstract: A camera assembly is provided for a facial recognition system of a motor vehicle. The camera assembly includes a cosmetic panel adapted to be attached to the motor vehicle. The cosmetic panel has an outboard side and an inboard side facing the motor vehicle. The cosmetic panel is opaque to visible light and transmissive to an infrared light. The camera assembly further includes a single infrared camera adapted to be disposed adjacent to the inboard side of the cosmetic panel. The single infrared camera generates an image signal, in response to the single infrared camera receiving the infrared light transmitted through cosmetic panel.

Abstract: A device for controlling a robotised gearbox of a motor vehicle is connected to a computer/electronic control unit to switch, at will, from a manual mode to an automatic mode. The control member is a touch screen subjected to the following steps: standby; storing of first coordinates of a digital pressure; storing of second coordinates at which the pressure is released; calculating a vector between the first and second coordinates; comparing length of the vector to a predefined length, and if the vector is shorter than the predefined length, the control member returns to standby; and if equal to or longer than the predefined length, orientation of the vector is compared to a predefined angular range; if the orientation of the vector is outside the range, the control member returns to standby; if the orientation is within the range, a desired command is validated.
