Abstract: A communication system for a vehicle for a vehicle includes a display device having a screen disposed in a passenger compartment. The display device is in communication with a user interface. The system further includes an authentication system having at least one scanning apparatus configured to capture a biometric data. A communication circuit is configured to communicate with a remote server. A controller is configured to capture the biometric data of a first potential passenger with the at least one scanning apparatus and access a first passenger information comprising a first identification profile from the remote server via the communication circuit. The controller is further configured to authenticate the first potential passenger as at least one of a confirmed passenger and an operator of the vehicle based on the identification profile.

Abstract: A water deflector assembly characterized by an elongated water deflector, and an adaptor block which couples the water deflector to a pre-existing skimmer provided in the sidewall of a swimming pool. The adaptor block allows a standardized deflector to be attached to a number of different skimmer brands. The water deflector includes an elongated central portion and two oppositely deflected end portions, and is designed to minimize eddy currents and maximize the amount of water deflected towards the skimmer for a given deflector length.
