An internal combustion engine assembly (1) is provided with a fuel tank (4) for fuel comprising ethanol, and a reformer (14b) for steam reforming of ethanol that is with an outlet (37,40) connected to a buffer tank (42).A first reformer supply duct (24,22,36) extends from the fuel tank (4) to the reformer (14b) via a fuel evaporator (19a) that is in heat exchanging contact with the exhaust gases, for supplying ethanol vapor to the reformer (14b). A second reformer supply duct (30,33,36) extends from a water reservoir (25) to the reformer (14b) via a water evaporator (17) that is in heat exchanging contact with the exhaust gases.The reformer (14b) is in heat exchanging contact with the catalytic converter (14a) and is adapted for reforming ethanol and water into syngas comprising carbon monoxide and hydrogen, and for supplying the syngas via the outlet (37,40) to the buffer tank (42). The reformer (14b) and the catalytic converter (14a) may form an integrated unit (14).

Techniques are described for interacting with a vehicle touchscreen. According to one or more embodiments, a system is provided comprising a processor that executes computer executable components stored in at least one memory, including a display control component that selects graphical touch controls to include in a graphical user interface (GUI) for rendering on the touchscreen based on activation of a haptic feedback mode for interfacing with the touchscreen, wherein the graphical touch controls correspond to controls for one or more applications or functions associated with the vehicle. The system further comprising a positioning component that determines a location of a finger on or over the touchscreen relative to the graphical touch controls as displayed on the touchscreen, and a haptic feedback component that causes a vibration unit of the vehicle to provide vibration feedback based on the location corresponding to a graphical touch control of the graphical touch controls.

The present disclosure relates to a driver controlling system for a vehicle, a vehicle comprising such a driver controlling system, a driver controlling method for a vehicle and a computer program element for such a driver controlling system.The driver controlling system comprises a propulsive actuator unit, a propulsive sensor unit and a control unit. The control unit is configured to prompt the propulsive actuator unit to apply at least one driving parameter in an automated driving mode of the vehicle. The at least one driving parameter is based on a driving preference of a driver. The control unit is further configured to modify the at least one driving parameter of the automated driving mode by a predefined rate of deviation for causing a reaction of the driver. The propulsive sensor unit is configured to generate driver engagement data based on the reaction of the driver to the at least one modified driving parameter. The rate of deviation for modifying at least one driving parameter may be varied and/or the at least one driving parameter may be incrementally modified from a prior modified driving parameter by the predefined rate of deviation, in case of insufficient reaction of the user.

A vehicle lighting system (202) for a vehicle comprising a light guide (211) and a light dispensing device (210) configured to receive light from a light source (212) via the light guide (211) and emit the light into an interior of the vehicle. A first end (216) of the light guide (211) is coupled to the light source (212) and a second end (218) of the light guide (211) is coupled to the light dispensing device (210). The light dispensing device (210) includes a textile (220) configured to dispense the light from the light guide (211) to an interior of the vehicle and a reflector (240) configured to reflect the light within the light dispensing device (210) that is received from the light guide (211) towards the textile (220).

The disclosed subject matter generally relates to an input device adapted for being installed in a vehicle for providing control of an electronic vehicle system which provides for using a visible decorative plate as a background surface of almost any material selected according to an end-user's demand. Accordingly, the inventors realized an input device with improved ability for customizing the appearance of the input device in line with end-user's demand by allowing a transparent top cover to delimit an inner volume in which a custom-made decorative plate is used as a background for instructive symbols. Since the decorative plate is arranged below the transparent top cover, the decorative plate is advantageously not reachable from outside the inner volume, but still visible through the top transparent cover. Thus, the decorative plate is well protected from direct touch and air degradation, which enables a wide range of decorative plate materials including materials that may be sensitive to touch and air contact.

The present disclosure relates to a method performed by a vehicle feature evaluation system (1) for enabling evaluation of a simulated vehicle functionality feature. The vehicle feature evaluation system determines (1001) in relation to a road-driven vehicle (2), with support from a tracking system (5), an orientation of a head-mounted display (4), HMD, adapted to be worn by an occupant (3) on-board the road-driven vehicle. The vehicle feature evaluation system further determines (1002) a simulated vehicle functionality feature to be evaluated in the road-driven vehicle. Moreover, the vehicle feature evaluation system provides (1004) in real-time to a HMD display (42) of the HMD, taking into consideration the HMD orientation, a virtual representation (7) of the simulated vehicle functionality feature superimposed on a real-time real-world video stream (6) derived from real-world image data captured with support from one or more forward-facing cameras (41) provided on the HMD in eye-position of the occupant.The disclosure also relates to a vehicle feature evaluation system in accordance with the foregoing, and a vehicle comprising such a vehicle feature evaluation system.
