Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems provide for technology to identify a communication that is to be presented to a user. The technology controls a first plurality of actuators to press a first portion of a light emitting element (LEE) layer against a deformable layer to deform the deformable layer into a shape that represents the communication to be presented to the user, and controls the LEE layer to emit light from the first portion of the LEE layer that is pressed against the deformable layer to illuminate the shape of the deformable layer.

Abstract: Systems and methods for vehicle air and humidity regulation based on tear film monitoring are provided. A vehicle system may include a camera configured to capture one or more images of a vehicle occupant. A logic device may be configured to detect a tear film breakup of the vehicle occupant based on the one or more images captured by the camera. An air system module configured to identify an air system setting adjustment based on the tear film breakup detected by the logic device. A heating, ventilation, and air condition (HVAC) system may be configured to adjust an air system setting of the vehicle based on the air system setting adjustment. Associated methods are also provided.

Abstract: A method for granting access to vehicle functionalities is provided. The method includes receiving a signal from a device that is external to the vehicle, the signal including identification data of an object associated with the device, comparing the identification data with user identifications stored in the memory of the vehicle, and granting, to the object, access to a first set of functionalities of the vehicle in response to determining that the identification data matches a first user identification of the user identifications stored in the memory of the vehicle.

Abstract: User input systems and vehicles having a user input system having a deformable material are disclosed. In one embodiment, a user input system includes a base, a deformable material, wherein at least the base and the deformable material define an enclosure, a sensor layer disposed on or within the deformable material, at least one actuator coupled to the base and disposed within the enclosure, and an input device coupled to the at least one actuator. The at least one actuator is configured to raise the input device to deform the deformable material at a location of a hand on the deformable material based at least in part on a signal provided by the sensor layer.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a computing device configured to detect an object in an external environment via an external sensor. The computing device determines a trajectory for navigation relative the object based on a trust zone. The trust zone is selected based on a trust parameter. The computing device instructs a display device to render a representation of the object and the trajectory relative the object, and determines whether to modify the trust parameter based on feedback data received in response to navigation.

Abstract: A method for displaying information from a vehicle including determining whether an occupant is within the vehicle, determining whether the vehicle is in a disengaged mode, and in response to determining that an occupant is not within the vehicle and determining that the vehicle is in the disengaged mode, directing a display positioned on at least one window of the vehicle to increase an opacity of the display.

Abstract: A method for identifying a location of a rideshare requestor to a rideshare vehicle includes receiving a request to locate the rideshare requestor, determining a first location of the rideshare requestor, determining a second location of the rideshare requestor, determining whether the first location is within a threshold distance of the second location, and, in response to the first location being within the threshold distance of the second location, identifying a first immobile vehicle from one or more immobile vehicles within a preset distance from the first location, and transmitting a signal to the first immobile vehicle to cause the first immobile vehicle to indicate the first location of the rideshare requestor to the rideshare vehicle.
