Abstract: A vehicle may include a camera configured to capture surroundings around the vehicle; a receiver; a display device; and a controller configured to display an image that the camera is currently capturing on the display device with reception of a signal transmitted from a vehicle washer by the receiver as a trigger.

Abstract: A vehicle includes an object sensor configured to detect an object around the vehicle; a warning device configured to alert a driver when an object is detected by the object sensor at a position at which a distance from the vehicle is less than or equal to a threshold; a receiver; and a controller configured to reduce the threshold when the receiver receives a signal transmitted from a vehicle washer.

Abstract: A carwash device receives vehicle state information transmitted from a vehicle control device of a vehicle. The carwash device controls so as to drive a drive section for washing the vehicle based on the received vehicle state information.

Abstract: A carwash device receives vehicle attribute information indicating an attribute of a vehicle that is a car-washing target. The carwash device selects a car-washing mode based on the vehicle attribute information, and the carwash device drives a drive section for washing the vehicle such that the vehicle is washed in the selected car-washing mode.

Abstract: A car washing includes a processor. The processor is configured to acquire vehicle type information and a travel history from a vehicle, estimate dirtiness of the vehicle based on the vehicle type information and the travel history, and execute car washing corresponding to an estimated degree of dirtiness.

Abstract: A driving control device including a processor. The processor detects that a vehicle has encroached into an area configured for car-washing by a carwash machine, switches a travel mode of the vehicle to autonomous driving, and controls the vehicle so as to stop at a carwash position for the carwash machine under autonomous driving.

Abstract: A vehicle includes: a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory, the processor being configured to: in a case in which it has been determined that washing of the vehicle is to be carried out, transition a state of the vehicle from a current mode to a vehicle washing mode that stops a power source of the vehicle, stops operation of a first equipment that is provided at the vehicle and that displaces a movable portion of the vehicle, and permits operation of a second equipment that is provided at the vehicle and that is related to comfort within a vehicle cabin of the vehicle.

Abstract: The exhaust purification system of an internal combustion engine includes a filter trapping particulate matter in exhaust gas flowing through an exhaust passage of the internal combustion engine and supporting a three-way catalyst, and a filter regeneration part configured to perform regeneration processing for oxidizing and removing particulate matter deposited on the filter when predetermined conditions are satisfied. The filter regeneration part is configured to increase an NO concentration in exhaust gas flowing into the filter when the predetermined conditions are satisfied compared to when the predetermined conditions are not satisfied.

Abstract: An internal-combustion engine includes: a direct fuel injector directly injecting fuel into a combustion chamber; and a control device. The control device performs: presumption processing that presumes, based on an operating condition of the internal-combustion engine, that a thermoplastic deposit is formed on an injection hole portion of the direct fuel injector; temperature control processing that increases a temperature of the injection hole portion when the thermoplastic deposit is presumed to be formed; and first removal processing that injects the fuel from the direct fuel injector after the temperature control processing.

Abstract: A fuel injector is configured so that, when seen from a top view of a combustion chamber, a first fuel spray flux and a second fuel spray flux sandwich an electrode part of a spark plug, and the electrode part is located outside of contour surfaces of the two fuel spray fluxes. A first injection angle between a center line of the first fuel spray flux and a vertical line and a second injection angle between a center line of the second fuel spray flux and the vertical line are larger than an angle between a center line of any other fuel spray flux and the vertical line. The second injection angle is made smaller than the first injection angle so that a distance from the electrode part to the contour surface of the second fuel spray flux is larger than a distance from the electrode part to the contour surface of the first fuel spray flux.

Abstract: The present invention has an object to make abnormal combustion of an internal combustion engine detectable by simple means at low cost. For this purpose, an abnormal combustion detecting device provided by the present invention uses a direct injection injector as means for detecting abnormal combustion. In the direct injection injector relating to the abnormal combustion detecting device, a sack chamber is provided at a tip end of a nozzle body, and a nozzle hole is formed to cause the sack chamber and a combustion chamber to communicate with each other. A needle is housed inside the nozzle body, and the sack chamber is opened and closed by the needle, whereby a fuel is directly injected into the combustion chamber.
