Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to a vehicle audio system for a vehicle comprising: at least one audio speaker for converting a speaker audio signal to sound waves; at least one electrostatic panel loudspeaker for converting a panel audio signal to sound waves; a control system in communication with the at least one audio speaker and the at least one electrostatic panel loudspeaker, and configured to cause the at least one audio speaker to convert the speaker audio signal to sound waves, and cause the at least one electrostatic panel loudspeaker to convert the panel audio signal to sound waves.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to an audio system comprising: at least one audio speaker for converting a speaker audio signal to sound waves; at least one haptic transducer for generating a vibration according to a haptic signal; at least one electrostatic panel loudspeaker for converting a panel audio signal to sound waves; a control system in communication with the at least one audio speaker, the at least one haptic transducer and the at least one electrostatic panel loudspeaker, and configured to cause the at least one audio speaker to convert the speaker audio signal to sound waves, to cause the at least one haptic transducer to vibrate according to the haptic signal and cause the at least one electrostatic panel loudspeaker to convert the panel audio signal to sound waves.

Abstract: A cupholder system for a vehicle includes: a cupholder assembly comprising a first cupholder opening; a lid configured to, when in a closed position, cover at least the first cupholder opening, and when in an open position, uncover the first cupholder opening; and an actuation system configured to, in dependence on an electrical signal, deploy the lid in a first path to the open position and deploy the cupholder assembly in a second path from a stowed position to a deployed position.
