The present invention discloses a two-way communication device for vehicles to communicate with an external environment of the vehicle. The communication device comprises a first communication device and a second communication device. The first communication device is adapted to be mounted on an interior of the vehicle. The first communication device comprises at least one interior speaker, microphone and a display. The second communication device adapted to be mounted on an exterior surface of the vehicle. The second communication device comprises at least one interior audio speaker, a microphone and a camera lens. The first communication device and second communication device are communicated via a signal processing circuit. The signal processing circuit is configured to broadcast audio, and videos of the external environment via first communication device within the vehicle.

Disclosed is an automobile Bluetooth receiver, which includes a Bluetooth receiver and an automobile charger for plugging the Bluetooth receiver therein. The Bluetooth receiver includes a receiver housing, a Bluetooth receiver module, a rechargeable battery, a switch, a first magnetic element and a plug. The rechargeable battery is electrically connected to the Bluetooth receiver module, and the plug is electrically connected to the Bluetooth receiver module and the rechargeable battery. The automobile charger includes an automobile charger housing, a PCB, and a second magnetic element attachable to the first magnetic component; and the automobile charger housing has a plug hole formed thereon and disposed proximate to a side of the receiver housing for receiving a plug and the plug is plugged into the plug hole and electrically coupled to the PCB. This disclosure improves the reliability of the charging and the convenience of use.

A method of operating an ad hoc network to protect a passenger-as-a-pedestrian of a stationary vehicle from a vehicle in motion. The network comprises an electronic key for the stationary vehicle carried by the passenger-as-a-pedestrian, an electronic-control-unit with a car-access-system and an on-board-unit with a vehicle-to-vehicle-system as components of a vehicle-network of the stationary vehicle. The car-access-system interfaces the vehicle-to-vehicle-system through the vehicle-network, the one vehicle in motion comprises a vehicle-to-vehicle-system, the on-board-unit of the stationary vehicle receives information from the car-access-system of the electronic-control-unit of the stationary vehicle, and the on-board-unit communicates based on the received information as vehicle-to-driver communication via the vehicle-to-vehicle system of the stationary vehicle with any vehicle in motion.

A vehicle system includes a remote device having a processor programmed to receive driver data in real-time during operation of a first vehicle. The processor processes the driver data to determine a driver behavior. A command signal is generated to command a second vehicle to update at least one parameter in accordance with the driver behavior.

Systems, methods and devices are provided for transporting, tracking and managing waste or recyclable materials, which may include one or more devices for transporting waste or recyclable material, such a via a bin that comprises a base; and a collapsible sleeve movable between an open state and a collapsed state, wherein the collapsible sleeve in the open state interfaces in a nesting manner with the base to form a bin for receiving and transporting waste material.
