Abstract: A system includes a display screen positioned to display on an exterior of a host vehicle, a user interface of the host vehicle, and a computer communicatively coupled to the display screen and the user interface. The computer is programmed to, in response to detecting a target vehicle having prespecified indicia, instruct the user interface to output an instruction to an occupant of the host vehicle, and in response to detecting personnel from the target vehicle, instruct the display screen to output a message to the personnel.

Abstract: An age of an operator of a vehicle and a light condition in the vehicle are determined. A pattern for display is selected based on the determined age of the operator of the vehicle and the light condition in the vehicle. The pattern is presented on the display on the display. Then the display is adjusted based on input from the vehicle operator in response to the pattern.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a cabin interior, a steering wheel assembly comprising a steering column, a steering wheel and an actuator configured to move the steering handle amongst a plurality of positions, and at least one sensor for sensing a user proximate to the vehicle and generating sensed data based on the sensed user. The vehicle also includes a controller determining one or more characteristics of the user from the sensed data and controlling the actuator to actuate the steering wheel to one of the plurality of positions based on the determined one or more characteristics of the user.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a controller programmed to responsive to receiving a destination, plan a plurality of routes to the destination, obtain visibility condition data for at least a part of each of the routes, anticipate an activation of a driving assistance feature in a section of at least one of the routes using the visibility condition data, and responsive to arriving at the section, activate the driving assistance feature while the vehicle is being manually driven by a user.

Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to multi-modal trip planning and event coordination. A method may include detecting, by a first device, based on first location data of a vehicle, that the vehicle has arrived at a destination location for a passenger of the vehicle; generating directions from the vehicle at the destination location to a physical structure at the destination location; presenting the directions; detecting an image of the passenger exterior to the vehicle at the destination location; identifying, by the at least one processor, based on the image, user information associated with the passenger at the destination location; detecting, based on the user information and second location data associated with a second device of the passenger, a disorientation event associated with the passenger; generating, based on the detecting of the disorientation event, instructions to be presented to the passenger; and presenting the instructions.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a body defining a door opening, a door movable between a closed position closing the door opening in an open position exposing the door opening, and a support structure located proximate to the door opening. The vehicle also includes a deployable assist handle having a handle body configured to be gripped by a user, the handle body being deployable amongst a plurality of positions including at least a first position and a second position, the assist handle comprising a lighting device, wherein the lighting device provides an illumination beam directed to a first region when the handle is in a first position and directed to a second region when the handle is in the second position.

Abstract: A vehicle seat assembly includes a seat, a seatback operatively coupled to the seat, and an assist handle located on the seat back, wherein the assist handle is releasable from a stowed position and pivotable outward to a first deployed position and rotatable laterally to a second deployed position. The vehicle seat assembly also includes a release mechanism configured to release the assist handle from at least one of the stowed position and the second deployed position, the release mechanism comprising a bias feature to bias the assist handle towards the first deployed position or the stowed position.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a cabin interior, a support structure within or proximate to the cabin interior, and a deployable assist handle coupled to the support structure. The deployable assist handle includes a handle body, a flexible member coupled to the handle body, a reel configured to receive the flexible member, an actuator operatively coupled to the reel to actuate the reel to extend and retract the flexible member, at least one sensor for sensing a user proximate to the vehicle and generating sensed data based on the sensed user, and a controller determining one or more characteristics of the user from the sensed data and controlling the actuator to actuate the deployable assist handle assembly to adjust a length of the flexible member based on the determined one or more characteristics of the user.
