Abstract: A system for illuminating an area around a motor vehicle, having: a pair of radar systems and a pair of lighting systems mounted on the motor vehicle; a vehicle level sensor configured to detect changes in pitch or roll of the motor vehicle; and an illumination control system in the motor vehicle. The illumination control system includes a key fob communication system and determines the location of a person by detecting the person approaching the motor vehicle by detecting the presence of the key fob while also detecting the location of the person with a radar system mounted on the vehicle. Next, when the location of the person has been determined, the illumination system lights up the area the person is standing while following movement of the person with the radar system to continuously re-directing the illumination towards the location on the ground where the person is standing as the person moves.

Abstract: A door opening system for a rear door of a motor vehicle in which a rear door first moves backwards and outwardly away from the car shell prior to the rear door then swinging outwardly away from the front of the car. The car shell does not have a B-pillar so that a large, convenient opening is provide with the front door opening forwardly and the rear door opening rearwardly. The door opening system includes: a car shell; a rear slider rail attached to the car shell; a rear door hinge assembly configured to move along the rear slider rail; with the rear door mounted onto the rear door hinge assembly, wherein the rear door hinge assembly moves along the rear slider rail in a direction rearwardly and away from the car shell prior to the rear door being outwardly rotatable on the rear door hinge assembly.
