Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for mobile platforms. A mobile platform comprises a body and a radar system. The body includes a wheel assembly, and the radar system is installed on the wheel assembly.

Abstract: A method of displaying augmented reality images for an obscured object relative to a real world scene. An image exterior of a vehicle is captured by an image capture device. A portion of an object occluded by a component of the vehicle as viewed by a person within the vehicle is determined by a processor. An augmented reality image is generated representing the portion of the occluded object over the component of the vehicle. The augmented reality image is displayed on an image plane at a depth that correlates with the real world scene.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for detecting an attention of an occupant of a vehicle. In one embodiment, a method includes calculating, by a processor, a first gaze vector in a three-dimensional space based on a first vehicle location, a first vehicle orientation, and a first gaze direction; calculating, by the processor, a second gaze vector in the three-dimensional space based on a second vehicle location, a second vehicle orientation, and a second gaze direction; and determining the attention of the occupant based on the first gaze vector and the second gaze vector.

Abstract: A system and method for using the skin of a vehicle as a waveguide for surface waves to support far-field signal propagation to provide communications between various electrical nodes on the vehicle and for providing power signals. A dielectric layer is formed on the skin to define the waveguide, and a coupler couples signals from the node to the waveguide and receives signals from the waveguide to be sent to the node.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for processing attention data. In one embodiment, a method includes: receiving the attention data from a first vehicle, wherein the attention data indicates an attention of an occupant of the vehicle to a point in a space; processing, at a global processing system, the received attention data with other attention data to determine one or more statistics; and generating report data based on the one or more statistics.
