Vehicular control system with road curvature determination
A vehicular control system includes a forward viewing camera disposed at an in-cabin side of a windshield of a vehicle and viewing forward of the vehicle. Road curvature of a road along which the vehicle is traveling is determined responsive at least in part to processing of image data captured by the camera. Responsive at least in part to processing of captured image data, speed of the vehicle is controlled by an adaptive cruise control system of the vehicle. Upon approach of the vehicle to a curve in the road along which the vehicle is traveling, speed of the vehicle is reduced by the adaptive cruise control system to a reduced speed for traveling around the curve in the road. Speed of the vehicle is increased by the adaptive cruise control system when the vehicle is traveling along a straighter section of road after the curve in the road.
Head-up display device
A head-up display device includes a casing provided inside an instrument panel. The casing includes an upper case constituting an upper part of the casing and provided with a fragile portion that is configured to be broken when an impact load is input to the casing from an upper side in a vehicle up-down direction, and a lower case constituting a lower part of the casing, provided with a light source unit configured to emit image information, and having a rigidity higher than that of the upper case.
Systems and methods for tintable car windows having display capabilities
A window system for use in a vehicle is disclosed. The window system may include a first layer electrically controlled to fade between states including an opaque state and a transparent state. The window system may include a second layer electrically controlled to display visual imagery on the window, where the first layer and second layer are configured to derive at least a portion of energy for their operation from a solar light source.
Vehicular safety video system
The vehicle safety video system is an electrical device. The vehicle safety video system is configured for use with a vehicle. The vehicle comprises an anterior side, a posterior side, and anterior windshield, a posterior windshield, and a VECU. The VECU further comprises a VECU brake signal. The vehicle safety video system captures one or more captured images from an anterior field of view of the vehicle. The vehicle safety video system displays the one or more captured images through the posterior windshield. The vehicle safety video system displays the one or more captured images such that the posterior windshield remains semitransparent during the display of the one or more captured images. The vehicle safety video system comprises a video circuit and the vehicle. The vehicle contains the video circuit. The video circuit captures and displays the one or more captured images.
SOLAR POWERED SWITCHABLE GLASS SYSTEM
A self-powered laminated switchable glass system. The laminated switchable glass system having an interior and exterior tempered glass layer. A transparent luminescent solar concentrator layer and a switchable glass film layer is disposed between the exterior and interior glass layer. The solar layer provides power to the switchable glass film layer to allow selective opacity of the switchable glass film.
Driving support device, driving support method, and computer readable storage medium
A driving support device may include, but is not limited to: a plurality of sensors is configured to detect state quantities relating to steering of a vehicle; a determiner is configured to determine whether each of the plurality of sensors is normal or abnormal; and a controller controlling execution of driving support functions for supporting a driving operation for the vehicle, in which the controller is configured to determine a control state of an executable driving support function on the basis of a result of the determination of the determiner.

SYSTEM AND PROCESS FOR VIEWING IN BLIND SPOTS
There is disclosed a viewing system coupled to a motor vehicle having a frame having a roof, at least one support, and a body with the at least one support supporting the roof over the body. The system can comprise at least one camera, at least one screen coupled to the support. In addition each camera is coupled to the at least one support and wherein said at least one screen is in communication with the first set of cameras, wherein said at least one screen displays images presented by the first set of cameras. This device can provide additional view in the blind spot of the vehicle.
DISPLAY SYSTEM
The present disclosure provides a display system that includes an information acquisition device, a display processing device, a posture detection device, and a correction processing device. The information acquisition device acquires a position of a moving body and information outside the moving body. The display processing device controls display of an image based on information acquired by the information acquisition device. The posture detection device that detects posture variation of the moving body. The correction processing device that sets a correction amount of a display position of the image based on posture variation of the moving body, outputs the correction amount when the display information acquired from the display processing device indicates that the image is being displayed, and reduces size of the correction amount when the display information indicates that the image is not being displayed.
