Abstract: A driving assist system for permitting safe motorcycle lane splitting for use with either an automated driving assist system (which helps a person drive a vehicle) or with an autonomous driving system (which drives the vehicle for the person) having sensors for detecting a motorcycle approaching the vehicle from behind and a control system for determining which side of the motor vehicle the motorcycle will pass and then steering the motor vehicle towards the opposite side of the traffic lane (but without crossing into another lane or otherwise leaving the lane), to increase the safe passing distance between the motorcycle and the side of the motor vehicle. Mechanisms are also optionally provided to warn the driver that a motorcycle is approaching and that the motor vehicle will be maneuvering to avoid too close an approach to the motorcycle.

Abstract: A system for controlling the operation of a window installed in a door of a vehicle, comprising a control module, a vehicle door configured to move upwardly from a closed position to a fully open position, a window configured to move between a first up position and a second down position in which the window is stored in the vehicle door, and a mechanism to move the window between the first up position and the second down position. The control module is configured to direct the mechanism to move the window into the second down position when the control module has received a signal indicating that action has been taken to move the vehicle door towards the fully open position.
