Abstract: In various embodiments, methods, systems, and mobile platforms are provided for providing auditory guidance. In certain exemplary embodiments, a method includes receiving information pertaining to a guidance task to provide auditory guidance proximate a location or target for a platform; selecting, via a processor, a plurality of transducers proximate the location or target, the plurality of transducers including: a first transducer disposed on a first side of the location or target; and a second transducer disposed on a second side of the location or target, opposite the first side; and controlling, via the processor, the plurality of transducers to provide auditory signals, such that the first transducer and the second transducer produce respective auditory signals that are phase cancelled with respect to one another, to thereby provide the auditory guidance to the location or target.

Abstract: In an example, a vehicle dispensing system to dispense a product in a vehicle is disclosed. The vehicle dispensing system includes a base connected to the vehicle and a dispensing apparatus connected to the base and configured to retain and dispense the product. The vehicle dispensing system includes a control module configured to determine a presence of the product retained by the dispensing apparatus or an absence of the product based upon a signal received from a sensor. The control module is also configured to track the presence of the product or the absence of the product. The control module is also configured to transmit a notification indicating the absence of the product.
