Various systems and methods for content adaptation based on seat position or occupant position in a vehicle are described herein. An example implementation for content adaptation based on seat position in a vehicle includes: obtaining sensor data, the sensor data including a seat position of a seat in the vehicle; identifying audiovisual content for output to a human occupant in the vehicle; identifying an occupant position of the human occupant, based on the seat position, for a user experience of the output of the audiovisual content; and cause one or more adjustments to the output of the audiovisual content in the vehicle, via an output device, based on the identified position of the human occupant.

Systems and methods for customizing connections to a vehicle of one or more occupants equipped with a wearable device. The system a memory that stores instructions for customizing connections to a vehicle of one or more occupants equipped with a wearable device. The system also includes a processor configured to execute the instructions. The instructions cause the processor to: detect one or more occupants of the vehicle equipped with a respective wearable device; determine a status of each of the one or more occupants equipped with the wearable device based on one or more motions; and customize the connections to the vehicle based on the status of each of the one or more occupants.

The disclosure relates to a contact-analogous head-up display, in particular an augmented reality head-up display, which places information in direct contact with the environment. Contrary to conventional head-up displays, the items of information appear as part of the environment. The subject matter of the disclosure relates to a dynamic improvement of the visibility of concealed AR elements in situations in which several elements are displayed in parallel.

A method of controlling a color display screen aboard a motor vehicle includes performing, via a host computer, a color calibration test of a user of the motor vehicle in which the user is subjected to a calibrated set of color-coded test information. The method includes receiving a color perception response of the user to the calibrated set of color-coded test information via the host computer. Additionally, the method includes mapping a reduced visual gamut of the user via the host computer using the color perception response, and then commanding adjustment of user-specific color settings of the motor vehicle using the reduced visual gamut to thereby accommodate a color perception deficiency of the user.

A vehicle control apparatus and a vehicle control method are disclosed. The vehicle control apparatus includes an inputter, a setting module, a determiner, and a controller. The inputter receives at least one collision avoidance operation signal from a collision avoidance device, and receives information about a current object detected by a sensing device. The setting module establishes a collision sensitive region for each driver upon receiving an ON mode signal from among the collision avoidance operation signals. The determiner determines whether the received current object information is present in a range of the established collision sensitive region for each driver. If the current object information is present in the range of the established collision sensitive region for each driver, the controller controls the collision avoidance device to perform a collision avoidance operation at a target time point earlier than a predetermined reference time point.

Systems and methods for implementing an emotional human-machine interface (HMI). A vehicle may comprise a display for presenting an emotional HMI. The emotional HMI may be determined by determining a first occupant of the vehicle, collecting first biometric data for the first occupant using at least the one or more sensors, determining, using an emotion engine of the vehicle, a first emotional state of the first occupant, determining a second occupant of the vehicle, determining, using the emotion engine of the vehicle, a second emotional state of the second occupant, and determining a graphical interface comprising at least a first color scheme based at least in part on the first emotional state and a second color scheme based at least in part on the second emotional state.

A display system for a vehicle. The display system includes a display engine that displays an image visible to a driver of the vehicle. In a first configuration, the display engine projects vehicle operating information directly in front of the driver. In a second configuration, the display engine projects an augmented reality image of an environment ahead of the vehicle directly in front of the driver. In a third configuration, the display engine projects entertainment images at a center of a dashboard of the vehicle between a driver's seat and a front passenger seat.

A control system for a vehicle comprises a controller comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions. The system comprises first, second, and third inputs configured to be manipulated by an operator. The system comprises first, second, and third displays adjacent the first, second, and third inputs, respectively. The first, second and third displays are configured to show first, second, and third indicia, respectively. Manipulation of the first input by the operator transmits a selection input signal to the controller. The controller receives the selection input signal. The processor compares the selection input signal to the instructions in the non-transitory computer-readable medium, transmits a selection output signal to the second and third displays, removes the second and third indicia from the second and third displays, and shows a first sub-selection indicium on the second display and a second sub-selection indicium on the third display.

A vehicle that can be customized and personalized via a mobile user profile. The vehicle can include a body, a powertrain, vehicle electronics, and a computing system. The computing system of the vehicle can be configured to: receive data fields of a driver profile of a user from a mobile device; estimate, using machine learning, configurations of vehicle functions for the vehicle according to the data fields; and control settings of a set of components of the vehicle, via the vehicle electronics, according to the estimated configurations.
