Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for articulating mirrors for trailering in a motor vehicle. The method includes receiving a trailer dimension, receiving an indication of a trailering mode, receiving an image of a trailer hitch assembly in response to the indication of the trailering mode, estimating a hitch articulation angle in response to the image, estimating a trailer rear corner position in response to the hitch articulation angle and the trailer dimension, generating a mirror control signal to adjust a mirror position such that the trailer rear corner position is within a mirror field of view, and adjusting the mirror position in response to the mirror control signal.

Abstract: An exemplary energy delivery system includes a housing. The housing includes a linear motor including a translational member and an electromagnetic field generating member. Energization of the electromagnetic field generating member induces translation of the translational member along a longitudinal axis of the linear motor. The housing further includes a first cylinder including a first chamber and a movable first piston and a second cylinder including a second chamber and a movable second piston. The first and second cylinders are coupled in-line with the linear motor within the housing and translation of the translational member along the longitudinal axis translates the first piston within the first chamber in a first direction and translates the second piston within the second chamber in a second direction opposite the first direction.

Abstract: Examples of techniques for controlling vehicle pitch while the vehicle is towing a trailer are disclosed. In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a computer-implemented method includes detecting, by a processing device, a trailer attached to a vehicle. The method further includes responsive to detecting the trailer attached to the vehicle, detecting, by the processing device, a pitch event. The method further includes when a pitch event is detected, determining, by the processing device, whether the pitch event exceeds a pitch threshold. The method further includes, responsive to determining that the pitch event exceeds the pitch threshold, adjusting, by the processing device, a vehicle pitch control device associated with the vehicle to counteract the pitch event for the vehicle and the trailer.
