Abstract: An advertisement presentation system includes at least one display device that is detachably provided to a vehicle, an information processing device, and a management server. The information processing device is configured to acquire advertisement information representing an advertisement, and to output the acquired advertisement information to the display device. The display device is configured to present the advertisement information output from the information processing device such that the advertisement information is directed outward from the vehicle. The information processing device is configured to transmit task report information representing a presentation task report for the advertisement information by the display device to the management server.

Abstract: An information display device includes: a display section that displays a view of a situation ahead of a vehicle and guidance information; a learning section that classifies and learns targets appearing on a travel route and visible through the display section as: a first target necessary to be visible, a second target necessary to be visible under the setting condition, or a third target not necessary to be visible, and a display control section configured to: prohibit display of the guidance information in a prohibited region with the first target, permit display of the guidance information in a permitted region with the third target, and either prohibit display of the guidance information in a conditional region with the second target and the setting condition is met, or permit display of the guidance information in the conditional region with the second target and the setting condition is not met.

Abstract: The vehicle air conditioning apparatus comprises at least one physical condition information sensor which detects information on physical conditions of passengers in a vehicle as physical condition information. The vehicle air conditioning apparatus selectively executes an outside-air circulation control for discharging air from an interior of the vehicle to outside of the vehicle and introducing outside air to the interior of the vehicle from the outside of the vehicle and an interior-air circulation control for taking the air from the interior of the vehicle and returning the taken air to the interior of the vehicle. The vehicle air conditioning apparatus executes the outside-air circulation control when the electronic control unit determines that at least one of the passengers has an infection, based on the physical condition information.

Abstract: There is provided a vehicle including a detection sensor used to detect a surrounding condition of the vehicle; a vehicle controller configured to perform drive control of the vehicle by using a signal output from the detection sensor; a fuel cell configured to generate electric power while generating water; an accumulating portion configured to accumulate the generated water discharged from the fuel cell therein as liquid water; and a cleaning portion connected with the accumulating portion, provided with a nozzle that is open to the detection sensor, and configured to eject the liquid water accumulated in the accumulating portion through the nozzle and thereby clean the detection sensor under control of the vehicle controller.

Abstract: A method and system for disengaging a drive rod in a door after an impact to the door. An automobile having a door with a door handle, a drive rod, a latching system, a striker, and a drive rod striking member. The drive rod striking member can be positioned adjacent the drive rod. Upon impact to the door, the drive rod is disengaged from the door handle and/or the latching system through inertia, through the drive rod striking member impacting the drive rod, or through any other disengagement mechanisms. The drive rod striking member prevents the drive rod from re-engaging with the latching system. The disengagement of the drive rod prevents the drive rod from controlling the latching system to disengage from the striker, either through deformation of the door, or through actuations by the door handle.
