Abstract: A vehicle suspension system may include a semi trailing arm, a coilover damper and a distributed jounce response assembly. The semi trailing arm may be operably coupled to a chassis of a battery electric vehicle (BEV) at a first pivotable connection and a second pivotable connection. The semi trailing arm may also support a rear wheel of the BEV. The coilover damper may be disposed between the chassis and a third pivotable connection on the semi trailing arm. The distributed jounce response assembly may progressively distribute a jounce load to at least two different locations within the system.

Abstract: A system includes an automotive-based processor configured to receive a road-scanning instruction. The processor is further configured to instruct a vehicle-mounted sonar to scan an upcoming section of terrain and receive scan data from the sonar, responsive to the instruction. The processor is additionally configured to convert the scan data to a visual display showing at least obstacles and elevations and present the visual display on an in-vehicle display.

Abstract: A seat assembly includes a seat, having a seat bottom and seat back, and a security organizer integrated into the seat back. The security organizer includes a hard shell cover, a security lock mechanism that secures the hard shell cover in a closed position and a security compartment fully closed and concealed by the hard shell cover when in the closed position. The security organizer is dedicated to secure paperwork storage within a vehicle.

Abstract: Anti-roll systems and related methods are disclosed. An example anti-roll system includes a first stabilizer bar having a first end to operatively couple to a first wheel assembly of a vehicle and a second stabilizer bar having a first end to operatively couple to a second wheel assembly of the vehicle. A rotary damper is to couple a second end of the first stabilizer bar and a second end of the second stabilizer bar. A damping characteristic of the rotary damper is to vary based on a driving condition of the vehicle.
