AUTOMATIC VULNERABLE OBJECT DETECTION TRIGGERED HOOD LATCH RELEASE
A vehicle includes a hood panel configured to cover the vehicle's under-hood compartment. The vehicle also includes a mechanism for selectively fastening the hood panel to the vehicle body and maintaining the compartment's closure in a first position and maintaining the hood panel within a predetermined distance from the vehicle body in a second position. The vehicle additionally includes a release system for releasing the hood from the first to the second position via the mechanism. The release system includes a sensor arrangement for detecting the presence of a vulnerable object in the vehicle path, and a controller for ascertaining whether the vehicle is in motion. The controller is also configured to trigger the mechanism, in response to a signal from the sensor arrangement indicative of the detected presence of the object, to release the hood panel from the first to the second position when the vehicle is in motion.
