Abstract: A transmission system avoids activation of a sailing functionality in a vehicle. The transmission system is configured for automatic gear-shifting in an automatic mode and manual gear-shifting by a user in a manual mode. The transmission system includes a user input device configured for manually changing the operational mode between the automatic and manual modes. The transmission system includes a transmission control unit for determining a recommended gear in the automatic and manual modes. In the manual mode, an operating gear of the transmission system is detected by the transmission control unit. A change of the operational mode from manual to automatic by means of the user input device is detected, and if the detected operating gear in the manual mode when changing to automatic mode is lower than the recommended gear, the sailing functionality in the automatic mode is deactivated.

Abstract: A view support system at a vehicle for supporting a vehicle occupant to see the surroundings of the vehicle includes: a first camera configured to obtain an image of the surroundings in a first direction of the vehicle; a display configured to display the image of the surroundings in the first direction of the vehicle; a processing circuitry operatively connected to the first camera and the display, the processing circuitry is configured to: detect a signal indicative of an impaired visibility of the surroundings in a first direction through a vehicle window for the vehicle occupant of the vehicle; and display the image of the surroundings in the first direction of the vehicle, obtained by the first camera at the display, to the vehicle occupant.

Abstract: A system for generating a linkage between a vehicle and a user and for generating a linkage between users includes: a display device to display image data of a code; a communication device to communicate with a portable electronic device; a processing circuitry operatively connected to the display device and the communication device and configured to generate a unique code to be displayed, display the unique code at the display device to be read by a portable electronic device associated with a user, receive a determination that the unique code has been read by the portable electronic device associated with the user, and establish a trusted linkage between the vehicle and the user based on the presence of the portable electronic device at the vehicle.
