Embodiments of a system for reducing driver distraction and improving automobile safety are disclosed.

A display system includes: a first display unit (400) that displays an image indicating a driving assist state of a vehicle which includes an automated driving state; a second display unit (400) that displays an image that resembles a road on which the vehicle travels; and a display control unit (120) that allows the second display unit to display approximately the entire region of a region corresponding to a recommended lane applied to a control unit that performs the automated driving in a predetermined color, and allows a target trajectory generated by the control unit that performs the automated driving to be displayed in a region narrower than the recommended lane.

An operating knob for an operating apparatus extends away from a reference plane that delimits the operating knob on a rear side. The operating knob is in the form of a three-dimensionally protruding body in relation to the reference plane up to a knob height. The operating knob has at least one side wall extending between the reference plane and the knob height at an angle greater than 20 with respect to the reference plane as a placement surface for at least one finger operating the operating knob. Luminous outputs of at least one luminous segment or a pixel matrix are provided on the side wall.

In one aspect, a device includes at least one processor, a display accessible to the at least one processor, and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage includes instructions executable by the at least one processor to receive input regarding an object at which one person is looking and to present, to another person via the display, a graphical indication regarding the object.

A TFT display screen device includes at least one active zone whose pixels are used for the display of an instrument cluster and the display of one or more warning or alarm), optionally icons inlaid in the instrument cluster. The screen also includes at least one dead zone not visible to the user. At least one dead zone is provided-with at least one light sensor and at least one control pixel which is activated when the single icon or at least one icon with which it is associated, is displayed in the active zone of the screen. The sensor is adapted to detect the activation of said at least one control pixel and to deliver a signal.

A system and method for indicating the drive state of an autonomous vehicle. The system includes a human machine interface and an electronic controller electrically coupled to the human machine interface and which is configured to display a drive state indicator. The drive state indicator includes a mode indicator based on a current operating mode for the autonomous vehicle, a duration indicator based on a duration for the current operating mode and a descriptor based on the duration. The electronic controller is further configured to update the duration indicator and the descriptor based on a remainder of the duration. In an alternative embodiment, the electronic controller is further configured to determine whether a second operating mode is available and display a second mode indicator based on the second operating mode when a second operating mode is available.

A vehicular display device according to an embodiment includes a light shielding housing fixed to a surface of a roof of a vehicle on a cabin side and having a concave portion concave upward, an opening portion formed at a position facing a rear of the vehicle in the concave portion, and a display device having a display surface disposed in the opening portion with the display surface directed to the rear of the vehicle.

An on-board display device installable in a vehicle cabin of a vehicle includes a liquid crystal panel and a light source. The liquid crystal panel displays an image of an outside of the vehicle, the image having been captured by a camera. The light source illuminates the liquid crystal panel. A direction of maximum luminance of the light source is a direction passing through an inside of an eye range preset in the vehicle. An equi-luminance line has a shape longer in a second direction that intersects a first direction than in the first direction in a luminance distribution map that represents luminance of the light source in each direction represented by a polar angle and an azimuth angle. The second direction and a longitudinal direction of an aggregate of points which represent polar angles and azimuth angles of tangential lines of the eye range, the tangential lines passing through the center of the liquid crystal panel, on the luminance distribution map are inclined to a same side with respect to a longitudinal direction of the liquid crystal panel.
