  • Patent number: 11951812
    Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling a sunshade of a vehicle. The methods and systems receive a route plan from a first location to a second location, predict a sun parameter indicative of sun glare on the window for the route plan based on solar direction and vehicle heading at distributed locations throughout the route plan, and activate the sunshade based on the sun parameter so as to shade the window.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 29, 2021
    Date of Patent: April 9, 2024
    Assignee: GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS LLC

  • Patent number: 11603098
    Abstract: A method for collecting and mapping eye movement data to vehicle data includes providing a vehicle having a plurality of sensors configured to capture vehicle characteristic data, an eye-movement tracking system configured to capture eye movement data, a wireless communication system, and a controller in communication with the plurality of sensors, the eye movement tracking system, and the wireless communication system, receiving the eye movement data and the vehicle characteristic data, analyzing the eye movement data and the vehicle characteristic data to temporally correlate the eye movement data and the vehicle characteristic data and generate a matched dataset, determining a predicted vehicle maneuver from the matched dataset, and transmitting the predicted vehicle maneuver to a nearby vehicle using V2X communication.
