This system allows users of vehicles to fasten and unfasten their seat belts simply by operating a switch. [Solution] A toothed belt 1 stored inside the vehicle or the like is operated according to the passenger's instructions, and the seat belt 10 fixed to the toothed belt 1 is fastened and detached by the up-and-down movement of the lowest part of the seat belt 10.

An adaptive seating system in a motor vehicle includes a seat. The position and orientation of the seat may be adjusted according to a driving mode of the motor vehicle. The seat includes an illuminated portion and the color of the illuminated portion may be adjusted according to the driving mode of the motor vehicle. The seat also includes a retractable and extendable five-point harness.

This application discloses an automatic seatbelt, a vehicle, a control method, an apparatus, and a storage medium. The automatic seatbelt includes: a housing and a buckle mechanism disposed on both sides of the seat; wherein, the housing contains a control device and a winding device, the winding device rotating as the composite webbing is wound up; wherein, the composite webbing includes: a first webbing, a flexible conductive film, a magnetic strip, and a second webbing bonded together in sequence; multiple conductive contacts are pressed between the flexible conductive film and the magnetic strip; the first webbing is non-electromagnetic; the second webbing is made of a magnetorheological material; the control device, in response to a first preset trigger condition, controls a power supply to power the flexible conductive film and to power the magnetic strip through the multiple conductive contacts, causing the magnetic strip to conduct electricity and generate a magnetic field, exposing the second webbing covered by the magnetic strip to the magnetic field, changing the stiffness of the second webbing, and controlling the winding device to deliver the composite webbing, so as to interlock the plug mechanism and the buckle mechanism connected thereto.

A vehicle safety system for helping to protect vehicle occupants in the event of a frontal crash includes a controller, one or more crash sensors for sensing a frontal crash, and an active sensor for detecting objects in the path of the vehicle. The controller is configured to implement a crash discrimination metric that detects the occurrence of a frontal crash in response to signals received from the crash sensors. The crash discrimination metric implements a threshold for determining whether the signals received from the crash sensors are indicative of the occurrence of a frontal crash. The controller is configured to implement an algorithm that uses information obtained from the active sensor to detect objects in the path of the vehicle and, in response to detecting an object, selects the threshold implemented in the crash discrimination metric.

The present disclosure proposes a passenger state modulation system for a passenger vehicle. The passenger state modulation system is used to predict an event (e.g., car sickness) affecting the passenger state before it occurs and implement preemptive intervention on vehicle active subsystems using the prediction.
