A front hood assembly for a vehicle including a front grille may include a sensory assembly, a bumper assembly positioned adjacent to the front grille, and an energy absorber structure. The bumper assembly may include a bumper reinforcement having a front face and a top face, which front face is disposed below and extends away from the top face. The energy absorber structure may be positioned adjacent to the top face of the bumper reinforcement. The energy absorber structure may be rearwardly compliant in an impact direction and disposed below and rearwardly of the sensory assembly such that an impact of the sensory assembly with the energy absorber structure in the impact direction collapses the energy absorber structure rearwardly. | ||||||

A vehicle comprises electric motor, generator of simulated engine sounds, decider of whether or not to generate simulated engine sounds and controller of the level of simulated engine sounds. The controller smoothly increases level of simulated engine sounds upon decision of sound generation on detection of pedestrian, crosswalk, narrow road, or road with no sidewalk. The decider is responsive to vehicle navigation system, or ETC, or camera of EDR. EDR records the decision as circumstantial evidence. The decision may be optionally possible, but is forcibly made upon necessity. Simulated engine sounds can be greater than, or equal to, or less than real engine sounds. The controller makes a soft peak of simulated engine sound upon brake or accelerator operated. Balance of simulated engine sounds among front, rear, right and left of vehicle is changeable in response to shift lever or blinker lever operation. The decision is visually indicated inside vehicle. | ||||||

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To harmonize the advantage of silentness during the running of a vehicle by a motor with the addition of pseudo-engine sound. <P>SOLUTION: Pseudo-engine sound is generated when a person is detected, a vehicle is detected to be positioned on the outside of an express way by an ETC (electronic toll system), a narrow road is detected by a car navigation, a crossing is detected by signal radio, and so forth. The pseudo-engine sound is not generated when the environment is quiet or in the mid-night time zone. The magnitude of the pseudo-engine sound is adjusted according to the magnitude of environmental sound, time zone, the recognition of images in a drive recorder, weather, and so forth. The pseudo-engine sound is softly generated to prevent pedestrians from being frightened. The balance of the magnitude of the sound between the front and rear sides and between the right and left sides of the vehicle is changed during the backward movement of the vehicle and when the direction indicator thereof is operated. The pseudo-engine sound is pulsated by the operations of a brake and an accelerator. An ultrasonic for a guide dog can be emitted in place of the pseudo-engine sound. The generation of the pseudo-engine sound is displayed inside the vehicle. To sample engine sound, the engine is run at forced low speeds. The traveling of the vehicle while the pseudo-engine sound is cut off is recorded in the drive recorder. The traveling of the vehicle without the pseudo-engine sound is prohibited when a person is detected and near a crossing. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT | ||||||

Responsive to sensor data received from one or more sensors of an autonomous vehicle, one or more predicted trajectories are generated, with each of the predicted trajectories having an associated probability. One or more driving scenarios that trigger gesture recognition are identified. For each of the identified driving scenarios, one or more gestures from one or more vehicles are detected in accordance with a gesture detection protocol. One or more gestures from the autonomous vehicle are emitted for communication with the vehicles in accordance with a gesture emission protocol based on the detected gestures. The predicted trajectories are modified based on the detected gestures, the emitted gestures and the associated probabilities of the predicted trajectories. The autonomous vehicle is controlled based on the modified predicted trajectories. |
