Publication number: US20220161657A1
Application number: 17/433,550

Abstract:
A method for operating a driver information system in an ego-vehicle is disclosed. First environment data are detected in an environment of the ego-vehicle at a first time. At least one further road user is identified based on the detected first environment data. A driver information display is provided, wherein the driver information display comprises a first graphic road user object which is assigned to the further road user. Second environment data are recorded in the environment of the ego-vehicle at a second, later time. Based on the detected second environment data, the further road user is identified again, and a second graphic road user object is formed which replaces the first graphic road user object in the driver information display. In addition, the second graphic road user object has a higher specificity than the first graphic road user object.

Publication number: US20220080797A1
Application number: 17/534,052

Abstract:
A bearing arrangement for a damper bearing of a shock absorber in a wheelhouse of a vehicle. A damper receptacle is formed in a wheelhouse sheet metal part delimiting the wheelhouse. A threaded bolt is guided through a damper bearing screw hole and through a screw hole of the damper receptacle and the bolt tip of the threaded bolt is screwed together with an internal thread of a reinforcement element which is arranged on the side of the damper receptacle. A positioning aid is associated with the damper receptacle, via which positioning aid the damper bearing of the shock absorber can be pre-positioned in an assembly process up to an installation position in which the screw hole of the damper bearing, the screw hole of the damper receptacle, and the reinforcement element internal thread are oriented flush with respect to each other in a screw direction.
