The present disclosure generally relates to managing cruise control settings. A cruise control indicator is displayed at a location that corresponds to a cruise control speed concurrently with a textual indication of the cruise control speed. In response to receiving an input to change the cruise control speed, the cruise control indicator and the textual indication of the cruise control speed move along at least a portion of the path corresponding to speed.

A driving assistance device is provided. An acquisition unit configured to acquire data regarding a travel trajectory of another vehicle from the other vehicle by vehicle-to-vehicle communication. A specifying unit configured to specify an intersection position between the travel trajectory of the other vehicle and a travel trajectory of a self-vehicle based on the data acquired by the acquisition unit. A selection unit configured to select data for setting a region based on the intersection position and the travel trajectory of the other vehicle as a monitoring region when performing driving assistance in a case where the intersection position is specifiable by the specifying unit. The selection unit selects data that has been partially deleted from the data acquired by the acquisition unit based on the intersection position.

The information display apparatus has a housing with an opening and a transparent cover formed on the opening, the includes image-light generating means configured to housing generate image light that displays the image information and an optical system configured to allow a driver of the vehicle to recognize image information based on the image light from the image-light generating means as a virtual image in front of the windshield. When S-polarized light on the windshield is assumed to be a first polarized wave while polarized light that orthogonally crosses the S-polarized light in a polarizing direction is assumed to be a second polarized wave, the image-light generating means is configured to generate the image light made of the first polarized wave, and a transmittance/reflectance control means blocks a part of the first polarized wave and the second polarized wave of incident external light entering the housing from the opening.

A spread assist device for assisting spreading by a spreader apparatus according to an embodiment includes a position detector configured to detect a position of the spreader apparatus and a controller. The controller is configured to obtain spread width information indicating a spread width of the spreading object to be spread by the spreader apparatus, obtain tracking information of the detected position of the spreader apparatus detected by the position detector, and generate a virtual overhead view image including a spread path based on the obtained spread width information and tracking information.

A system having an extended display surface that includes a main display surface, associated with at least one screen, and at least one peripheral display surface, associated with a peripheral display element, extending around at least part of the main display surface, and one or more backlighting units configured to illuminate these display surfaces. After receiving a plurality of digital images each represented by an image data array, the system performs an extraction from the image data array, of a main image data array of dimensions equal to the dimensions of the screen, and an extraction or generation of at least one complementary image data subarray, and a control of displaying the main image data array on the screen and controlling the backlighting units to perform a display of each complementary image data subarray on the corresponding peripheral display element.

A signal processing device and a display apparatus for vehicles including the same are disclosed. The signal processing device includes a processor configured to process a signal for a display mounted in a vehicle, wherein the processor is configured to execute first to third virtual machines on a hypervisor in the processor, the second virtual machine is operated for a first display, the third virtual machine is operated for a second display, and the first virtual machine in the processor is configured to control a shared memory based on the hypervisor for transmission of identical data to the second virtual machine and the third virtual machine. Consequently, it is possible for a plurality of displays in the vehicle to display identical images in a synchronized state.

A system for gaze-based control of vehicle functions and related methods includes eye contact sensors for monitoring one or both eyes of a user, manual input devices, and circuits configured for tracking a gaze of a user located within a vehicle, identifying a gaze condition from the eye contact sensors in response to determining the gaze of the user is directed to an object of interest in the vehicle for at least a predetermined dwell-time, receiving a manual input from the manual input devices, activating a command interaction associated with the object of interest in response to identifying the gaze condition and receiving the manual input, receiving, while the command interaction is active, a command associated with the object of interest from the user, and initiating a vehicle function based on the received command.

An image capture device is mounted in a vehicle. The image capture device includes: an image capture unit; and a setting unit that sets an image capture condition for each region of the image capture unit each having a plurality of pixels, or for each pixel, based upon at least one of a state exterior to the vehicle and a state of the vehicle.

A signal processing device and a display apparatus for vehicles including the same are disclosed. The signal processing device includes a processor configured to perform signal processing for a display located in a vehicle, wherein the processor is configured to execute first to third virtual machines on a hypervisor in the processor, the second virtual machine is operated for a first display, the third virtual machine is operated for a second display, and the first virtual machine in the processor is configured to share at least some of data with the second virtual machine and the third virtual machine for processing of divided data. Consequently, the plurality of virtual machines for the plurality of displays in the vehicle may divide and process data.

A method of displaying information on a head-up display of a vehicle comprises determining a direction of gaze of a driver of the vehicle and selecting a display mode from a group of display modes based on the direction of gaze. Each display mode of the group of display modes defines information to be displayed on the head-up display. The group of display modes comprises at least a normal mode and an extended mode. Information displayed in the extended mode differs from information displayed in the normal mode. The method further comprises displaying the information on the head-up display according to the selected display mode.
