Abstract: A vehicle object detection system configured to generate a judgement on whether a target object which has been detected to enter the detection area is an alert object, and to output the judgement to a warning which is configured to warn a driver of the subject vehicle that a target object is present in the detection area behind the subject vehicle based on the judgement indicating that the target object is an alert object, wherein the system is configured to delay generating the judgement until a specified period of time has elapsed from a point in time when the target object entered the detection area from an adjacent area located lateral to the detection area and/or is configured to generate the judgement based on a change in distance between the target object and the subject vehicle during said specified period of time.

Abstract: An integrally molded air-bag cover article is disclosed which contains an air-bag cover section which is made of a resin and has a periphery, and a frame section which is made of a resin and is integrally and continuously formed with the periphery by way of a weak section. The weak section is constituted by a resin junction in which an interface of the resin constituting the air-bag cover section and an interface of the resin constituting the frame section are joined together by bonding action between the resins. A continuous groove and a continuous protrusion are respectively formed on a front surface and a rear surface of the integrally molded air-bag cover article. The weak section is formed so as to extend from an inner face of the groove to an outer face of the protrusion.
