Abstract: A sensing system provided in a vehicle capable of running in an autonomous driving mode, includes: a LiDAR unit configured to acquire point group data indicating surrounding environment of the vehicle; and a LiDAR control module configured to identify information associated with a target object existing around the vehicle, based on the point group data acquired from the LiDAR unit. The LiDAR control module is configured to control the LiDAR unit so as to increase a scanning resolution of the LiDAR unit in a first angular area in a detection area of the LiDAR unit, wherein the first angular area is an area where the target object exists.

Abstract: Provided is a LiDAR sensor unit in which even when a lens element is provided, measurement data is less likely to be affected by the lens element. A LiDAR sensor unit has: a LiDAR sensor; a lens element that is provided on an optical path of light emitted from the LiDAR sensor; and a processing unit that outputs measurement data which has been measured by the LiDAR sensor and which includes the orientation and the distance of a measurement subject. The processing unit is configured to not output measurement data of a specific orientation which is the same but the distance corresponding thereto differs before and after attachment of the lens element under the same environment.

Abstract: A sensor system (100) is equipped with a light emitting element that emits detecting light (L1), a translucent cover (120) that allows passage of the detecting light (L1), and a scanning mechanism that changes an emitting direction of the detecting light (L1) at least in a first direction (D1). A light receiving device (210) is equipped with a plurality of inspection light receiving elements (211a to 211g) arranged at least along the first direction, and adapted to be disposed on an optical path of the detecting light (L1) that has passed through the translucent cover (120). An inspection processor (220) is configured to output a determination result (R) as to whether an abnormality is present in the translucent cover (120) on the basis of a determination as to whether each of the inspection light receiving elements (211a to 211g) has normally received the detecting light (L).

Abstract: A projection unit is configured to provide at least one of a first image adapted to be presented to the inside of a vehicle and a second image adapted to be presented to the outside of the vehicle. A dimming film is configured to be placed in at least one of a first state in which first light corresponding to the first image is directed to the inside of the vehicle and a second state in which second light corresponding to the second image is directed to the outside of the vehicle. A control unit is configured to place the dimming film in the first state when the first image is provided, and to place the dimming film in the second state when the second image is provided.

Abstract: A head-up display apparatus is mounted on a vehicle having a plurality of driving modes with different degrees of automation and is configured to display a predetermined content in a predetermined display region provided in front of a driver seat. The head-up display apparatus is configured to display different contents depending on the plurality of driving modes.

Abstract: A vehicle cleaner system includes: a plurality of cleaners capable of respectively cleaning a plurality of sensors in which at least one of a detection method, an object to be detected, a detection direction, and a detection timing is different from each other; and a cleaner control unit configured to operate the plurality of cleaners depending on a signal to be input. The cleaner control unit is configured to control all of the cleaners so as not to be operated at the same time.
