Abstract

An electronic latch system for a motor vehicle includes an electronic latch (e-latch) including an e-latch controller within a door of the vehicle. A plurality of radar sensors is located within the door for performing non-contact detection of objects around the vehicle. The radar sensors include an outside-face sensor adjacent an outside face of the door to sense an object within a first sensingzone extending from the outside face. The radar sensors also include an inner sensor adjacent an inside surface of the door to sense an object within a second sensing zone extending from the inside surface. The radar sensors also include a shut-face sensor adjacent a shut face of the door to sense an object within a third sensing zone extending from the shut face. The e-latch includes a light source for projecting a warning image and an audio source for generating an audible warning.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 653,822, filed April 6, 2018, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 725,480, filed August 31, 2018. The entire disclosure of the above application is incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present disclosure generally relates to electronic latches in combination with radar modules for motor vehicles, and methods of operating electronic latch systems. Background technique [0004] This section provides background information related to the present disclosure which is not necessarily prior art. [0005] Motor vehicles are increasingly equipped with sensors that detect the environment and terrain surrounding the motor vehicle. For example, some vehicles include sensor systems that provide images of terrain and / or other objects near the vehicle. Sensing systems utilizing radar have also been used to detect the presence a...
