Body-movement vehicle summoning lets a parked car move to a safer pickup position, avoiding door collisions in narrow spaces.

Equivalent resistance monitoring lets the vehicle computer verify switch states and detect open or short faults in autonomous mode selection.

When automated parking cannot generate an avoiding path, the vehicle alerts the user's terminal so the obstacle can be cleared and parking resumed.

Real-time position comparison and haptic alerts help drivers keep the mobile device in range and avoid unintended remote parking termination.

Stored driver profiles trigger actuators to reposition the instrument panel and steering part for better reach, comfort, and driving ease.

A braking-drive hold test checks brake function before remote parking starts, catching faults beyond power supply issues.

Three-level steering wheel grip detection separates preparatory touch from override input, preventing premature manual takeover.

Converts onboard equipment settings with vehicle-specific ratios so driving positions transfer accurately between different vehicle models.

Automatic seat and steering wheel repositioning helps drivers regain manual control quickly and safely during autonomous driving handover.

Speech commands activate the target in-car function and highlight its controls, cutting search time while adapting button brightness to ambient light.

An integrated steering-wheel control lets drivers continuously adjust camber, toe, alignment, and torque distribution for sharper vehicle dynamics.

A backup latch and dual-ECU scheme releases a failed steering column telescope so the driver can manually steer without towing.

Capacitive or optical grip detection switches parking assistance autonomy levels without manual selection, reducing driver distraction in traffic.

Blended steering commands help reject unsafe driver inputs and enable smooth vehicle steering handover when operator engagement is sufficient.

Body-movement vehicle summoning lets a parked car exit tight spaces before door opening, reducing collision risk and improving access.

Machine-learning input classification verifies touchscreen gestures in remote parking apps to block unintended commands and prevent undesired vehicle movement.

A two-zone mobile interface uses a gesture-based engagement step and curvature input to simplify remote trailer maneuvering.

An AR mobile interface lets users view a vehicle path, spot hazards, and send trajectory corrections during parking or maneuvering.

A displaceable intermediate gear improves meshing in a compact parallel-axis steering column adjustment drive, reducing wear and easing assembly.

An electromechanical connector lets a steering robot disengage quickly, minimizing inertia and friction during vehicle free response evaluation.

Parallel drive and spindle axes make the steering column adjustment drive narrower, easier to assemble, and better at compensating gear wear.

A tube-segment sliding element improves telescopic steering column support, stiffness, and wear compensation while keeping adjustment smooth.

Overload-based limit detection corrects steering column position drift, preserving adjustment accuracy and usable travel range.

A segmented upper jacket separates sliding and clamping zones, enabling smooth telescoping, high holding load, and built-in anti-rotation.

A contact pad fixed to the column tube keeps the load point constant, reducing backlash variation, friction, and actuator load.

Accumulated predicted-versus-actual velocity differences detect steering column pinch events while filtering temporary interferences.

A four-point biasing clamp distributes steering column fastening force evenly, improving rigidity while easing bolt release during tilt and axial adjustment.

A dual-thread leadscrew lets one motor telescope the upper jacket and translate the lower jacket, cutting actuator count, weight, and packaging space.

A position-actuated preload mechanism boosts steering column stiffness and natural frequency when telescopic tube overlap is limited by packaging.

A preloaded spring and locking linkage retract the vehicle control console within 0.05-0.2 s to reduce driver impact injury in a crash.

A deflection-guided clamping body separates radial preload from circumferential friction, enabling precise steering column adjustment with less wear.

Brush-edged steering column gap covers sweep away sand between moving parts, preventing dashboard scratches, noise, and rough sliding.

A preloaded rotational lock in the tilt slot removes clearance, simplifies the steering column assembly, and improves secondary-impact locking.

Force sensing at the steering wheel lets drivers push, pull, lift, or lower to adjust steering column position without separate switches.

Cam-driven tooth engagement and spring bias create a compact steering column lock that preserves reliable axial adjustment and energy absorption.

Separate clamping elements for each sliding body improve steering column preload precision, tolerance compensation, and long-term guidance stability.
