Abstract: A method for the automated detection of a seat occupancy state, in particular related to each seat, of a seating arrangement having at least one seat comprises: receiving or generating measurement data, which represents in each case one assigned radar point cloud for each measurement frame of a sequence of a plurality of temporally consecutive measurement frames, so that the measurement data represent a sequence of radar point clouds corresponding to the sequence of measurement frames, wherein each radar point cloud of the sequence was or is obtained on the basis of a radar scan of a spatial region surrounding at least some sections of the seating arrangement, which takes place at a measurement time or during a measurement period assigned to the respective measurement frame; accumulating a plurality of the radar point clouds of the sequence in order to obtain an accumulated radar point cloud containing radar points from each of the individual radar point clouds combined as part of the accumulating process; de

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a light assembly for a motor vehicle. In some aspects, the techniques described herein relate to a motor vehicle, including: a light assembly including a first section, a second section, a third section, and a fourth section, wherein the first, second, third, and fourth sections are selectively illuminable independent of one another; a conspicuity lamp; and a controller configured to command the light assembly to illuminate at least one of the first, second, third, and fourth sections in phase with the conspicuity lamp.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a light assembly that provides a pillar lamp for a motor vehicle, and a corresponding method. In some aspects, the techniques described herein relate to a motor vehicle, including: a frame including a pillar; a light assembly mounted to the pillar, wherein the light assembly includes a selectively illuminable light source; a sensor configured to generate signals indicative of a presence of a user of the motor vehicle; and a controller configured to command the light source to illuminate when the signals from the sensor indicate the user is present.
