A vehicular display device configured to display a guide route to a destination of a host vehicle includes a navigation device configured to calculate the guide route, a display controller configured to draw an arrow having a shaft with an arrowhead at one end of the shaft, as a guide figure for guidance along the guide route calculated by the navigation device, such that the arrow is shaped as a three-dimensional object in which one surface of the arrow is a continuous flat surface from the shaft to the arrowhead and the other surface of the arrow includes a first portion with a first width having a first height, and a second portion with a second width smaller than the first width and having a second height smaller than the first height, and a display configured to display an image drawn by the display controller in a display area.

A vehicular driver monitoring system includes an interior rearview mirror assembly disposed in a vehicle and including a mirror reflective element. A camera is disposed at the interior rearview mirror assembly and views a driver sitting at a driver seat of the equipped vehicle. The camera is operable to capture image data. A control includes a vision system-on-a-chip image processor that processes image data captured by the camera. The control, via processing at the vision system-on-a-chip image processor of image data captured by the camera, determines driver movement. The vehicular driver monitoring system generates an output responsive at least in part to the determined driver movement.

A relationship between a relative position with respect to a section where a progressing direction changes on a route and an arrangement height is set such that the arrangement height gradually increases from zero to MaxH. Then, the arrangement height gradually decreases from MaxH to zero along the route from a point on the near side of the section where the progressing direction changes (FIGS. 3B and 3G and FIGS. 4B and 4C). When traveling in the section where the progressing direction changes, a direction mark representing the progressing direction at each point on a road surface is displayed using a heads-up display so as to overlap with a position on an upper side, by an arrangement height set based on a relative position of the point with respect to the section and a set relationship, from the point.

Aspects described herein may allow for auto-locating a user in a parking lot and/or automatically directing a user to recommended inventory. For example, a customer may capture an image of a vehicle, or a marker associated with a vehicle, in a parking lot. The image may be processed locally or at a server. A vehicle may be identified based on analysis of the image. Further, information regarding the user may be processed to determine another vehicle appropriate for a recommendation. For example, a prompt on a mobile device may suggest a popular model similar to the vehicle being viewed. The system may then provide directions (e.g., augmented reality directions) to the user to direct the user to the vehicle.

Provided is a method for moving route planning and marker automatic making, including reading, by a computing device, a first map in which a north direction is marked to display the first map on a monitor, acquiring, by the computing device, a user input regarding an azimuth to change a direction indicated by an arrow icon to be displayed on the monitor based on the user input regarding the azimuth, acquiring, by the computing device, a user input regarding node creation to display two or more nodes in a state of being overlapped on the first map based on the user input regarding the node creation, acquiring, by the computing device, a user input regarding link creation to display an arrow-shaped link connecting between two nodes disposed on the monitor in a state of being overlapped on the first map based on the user input regarding the link creation, creating, by the computing device, a table of a first type of markers respectively corresponding to the two or more nodes displayed in the state of being overlapped on the first map and a second type of markers corresponding to links displayed in the state of being overlapped on the first map, and outputting, by the computing device, the first type of markers and the second type of markers in a form of an image file based on information included in the table to store the output markers in a storage device.

A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided. The method comprises: receiving a request for a route for a user between an origin and a destination; identifying a route for the user between the origin and the destination using a user-subjective-navigational-marker-perception profile for the user and according to a predetermined suitability criterion, wherein the user-subjective-navigational-marker-perception profile comprises data about the user's subjective perception of navigational markers, and wherein the identified route includes navigational markers along the route which are flagged based on the user-subjective-navigational-marker-perception profile; and providing the identified route for user navigation.

An instrument cluster for a vehicle, includes: a master microcontroller being powered by a power source regulated by a power regulator module; one or more input sources electrically configured to provide one or more inputs to the master microcontroller through a signal conditioning circuit; and one or more output sources configured to receive one or more outputs from the master microcontroller. The master microcontroller is connected to at least two wireless modules. The master microcontroller is configured to provide instruction to a secondary wireless module of a communication device to display an output on the one or more output sources and the communication device. The master microcontroller is configured to receive instruction from the secondary wireless module of the communication device to display the output on the one or more output sources.

A controller detects partitioning lines OL and BL of a road and a road edge E based on an image taken by a camera, generates a pair of left and right virtual lines IL.sub.L and IL.sub.R that extend from the side to the front of a vehicle along the partitioning lines OL and BL, controls the steering so the vehicle travels between the left and right virtual lines IL.sub.L and IL.sub.R, moves the left virtual line IL.sub.L to a position in proximity to the road edge E and fixes the left virtual line IL.sub.L to this position, and then, moves the right virtual line IL.sub.R to a position separated from the left virtual line IL.sub.L by the width of the vehicle and fixes the right virtual line IL.sub.R to this position, and controls brakes to stop the vehicle after fixing the left and right virtual lines IL.sub.L and IL.sub.R.

Augmented reality displays for locating vehicles are disclosed herein. An example method includes determining a current location of a mobile device associated with a user, determining a current location of a vehicle, and generating augmented reality view data that includes a first arrow that identifies a path of travel for the ridehail user towards the vehicle. The path of travel is based on the current location of the mobile device and the current location of the vehicle. The first arrow is combined with a view obtained by a camera of the mobile device or a view obtained by a camera of the vehicle.
