Abstract: A shelter system for a truck includes a platform assembly that can pivot back-and-forth between a stowed position and a deployed position. The platform assembly spans a bed of a truck when in the stowed position. The platform assembly is disposed over a cab of the truck when in the deployed position. A tent covers the platform assembly when the platform assembly is in the deployed position.

Abstract: An accessory attachment system includes a baseplate that provides an attachment interface on a support surface. The baseplate is configured to engage with at least one accessory via the attachment interface to secure the accessory to the support surface. The attachment interface provides a plurality of different mounting positions for the at least one accessory. At least one mounting foot is associated with the at least one accessory and is configured to be selectively coupled to the attachment interface to provide a desired one of the plurality of different mounting positions. The at least one mounting foot includes an adjustment feature to account for any warpage of the support surface when the at least one accessory is mounted in the desired one of the plurality of different mounting positions.

Abstract: A shifter assembly for an electric vehicle includes a base, a shifter handle, and a plurality of actuators. The base defines an opening. The shifter handle extends through the opening of the base and is pivotably coupled to the base. Each actuator of the plurality of actuators are pivotably coupled to the base at a first end and pivotably coupled to the shifter handle at a second end that is opposite the first end. The plurality of actuators are configured to permit movement of the shifter handle relative to the base in a predetermined virtual pathway and inhibit movement of the shifter handle relative to the base outside the predetermined virtual path.

Abstract: A system for switching an electric vehicle between vehicle operating states includes a base, a shifter handle, actuators, and a controller. The shifter handle includes a shaft. The actuators are coupled to the shaft. The controller is configured to determine a selected shifter operating mode from among shifter operating modes; generate, in response to the selected shifter operating mode being a first shifter operating mode, a first set of output signals to the actuators to control the actuators to permit movement of the shifter handle in a first predetermined virtual pathway; generate, in response to the selected shifter operating mode being a second shifter operating mode, a second set of output signals to the actuators to control the actuators to permit movement of the shifter handle in a second predetermined virtual pathway; and switch the electric vehicle between the vehicle operating states based on movement of the shaft.

Abstract: An inductive connection system includes a baseplate that provides an attachment interface on a support surface. The baseplate is configured to engage with at least one accessory via the attachment interface to secure the accessory to the support surface. The attachment interface provides a plurality of different mounting positions for the at least one accessory. At least one puck is selectively coupled to the attachment interface to provide a desired one of the plurality of different mounting positions.

Abstract: A power routing system includes a base plate having a surface to support an accessory, a power source configured to provide power to the accessory, the power source having at least one first power outlet, and a power connection member mounted to the base plate. The power connection member includes at least one second power outlet. An adaptor is associated with the power source such that an electrical connector can connect the at least one first power outlet to the power connection member to power the accessory via the at least one second power outlet.

Abstract: A locking control system and method include providing a base plate with an attachment interface and attaching at least one accessory to the base plate via the attachment interface. A user profile is provided that comprises one or more classes of authorization. Locking and unlocking of the at least one accessory to the base plate is controlled based on the user profile and/or locking and unlocking of the at least one accessory itself is controlled based on the user profile.
