Embodiments are disclosed for an example telematics system for a vehicle. The telematics system includes a reconfigurable antenna including an antenna portion, a coupling portion, a radiation switch, and a frequency switch. The telematics system further includes a plurality of antennas, and a processor with instructions stored in non-volatile memory to link one antenna of the plurality of antennas to the satellite based on a predicted overlap between a stored radiation pattern of the one antenna and a calculated azimuth and elevation angle of the satellite.

A method is disclosed for a controller of a vehicle, for continuously acquiring images from a forward-facing camera (117, 118) of portions of a front environment of the vehicle that are obstructed by the hood of the vehicle, and continuously projecting the generated images onto screens (204a-204d) integrated within a windshield of the vehicle. The forward-facing camera (117, 118) may be positioned behind the windshield and above a line of sight of the operator, granting the camera increased visibility over the front environment of the vehicle. Each image of a video feed of the camera is processed to perform three-dimensional (3D) scene reconstruction, using depth estimation combined with mesh generation. At each of the screens (204a, 204d), a view of an image acquired by the camera is generated in a respective driver's eye point of view with appropriate model view and projection matrices.
