Abstract: Technologies and techniques for estimating a departure time for a user of a vehicle. A departure time may be estimated for a user using a vehicle by obtaining vehicle-related data on the vehicle and obtaining personal data on the user. The departure time may be estimated on the basis of the vehicle-related data and the personal data.

Abstract: A method for assigning a user profile of a user to a seat in a motor vehicle by at least one mobile unit, wherein the mobile unit has at least one identifier and a sensor arrangement for detecting at least one translational and/or rotational degree of freedom, wherein the mobile unit transmits the identifier to the motor vehicle, wherein the mobile unit or the motor vehicle evaluates the data from the sensor arrangement as to whether a boarding movement into a motor vehicle is occurring, wherein the motor vehicle or the mobile unit by the data of a door opening sensor arrangement, assigns the boarding movement to a seat assigned to a vehicle door, wherein the user profile is then assigned to the seat. Also disclosed is a mobile unit and a motor vehicle.

Abstract: An indicator apparatus for providing a status indicator to visibly indicate state of charge information of an electric vehicle is disclosed. The indicator apparatus may be an indicator plate including a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and an indicator positioned between the first and second ends. The indicator may provide an indication of a status of a battery of the electric vehicle by illuminating a portion of the indicator plate based on status information of the battery. The indicator apparatus may further comprise a power port coupled to the electric vehicle for receiving power from the electric vehicle to the illuminated portion of the indicator plate. The illuminated portion may be illuminated based on vehicle diagnostic data received from the electric vehicle and may be visible from outside the electric vehicle.
