AI Technical Summary
Existing electric tailgates have a high rate of false triggering, their stability is affected by the environment, their manufacturing costs and failure rates are high, and their user convenience is insufficient.
By concealing an ultra-short-range infrared array in the center of the tailgate outer panel, the infrared sensing module determines when an object enters the sensing area. Combined with the vehicle status and key validity, a tailgate opening request signal is generated and forwarded to the electric tailgate system through the central gateway to control the tailgate opening.
It enables users to open the smart tailgate by simply waving their hand, improving convenience and stability, reducing the failure rate, and enhancing the user experience.
