  • Publication number: 20250136133
    Abstract: An intersection assistance technique for a vehicle includes obtaining intersection information relative to an all-way stop scenario that involves a plurality of vehicles including the vehicle and, in response to detecting the all-way stop scenario, executing an intersection assistance procedure including, based on the set of intersection information, determining a sequential order in that the plurality of vehicles should proceed during the all-way stop scenario, and controlling a display of the vehicle to display graphical information based on the determined sequential order, where the display of the graphical information assists a driver of the vehicle in navigating the all-way stop scenario.

  • Publication number: 20240326564
    Abstract: A cabin purification system for a vehicle includes an air inlet in communication with a fan, a light source emitting ultraviolet C light at a wavelength of from 100 nanometers to 280 nanometers, a photocatalytic oxidizer element, and an air outlet. The photocatalytic oxidizer element has a surface coating comprising anatase and rutile forms of TiO2. The surface coating is illuminated by the light source. The fan generates an air flow from outside the air inlet to the air outlet. The air flow passes the light source and the photocatalytic oxidizer where the surface coating converts H2O O3 and O2 in the air flow into H2O2 which is distributed into the vehicle cabin to purify it.
