A display of roadside objects on a vehicle windshield within a primary field of view of a driver, with an indication of a level of importance of the object is provided. A method includes: detecting, by a computer device, a roadside object in a vehicle driver's peripheral view; analyzing, by the computer device, the detected roadside object to assign a level of importance to the object based on predefined levels of importance; and displaying, by the computer device, the roadside object as a semi-transparent object in a display area of a windshield of the vehicle with an indication of the level of importance of the object.

The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a screen comprising transparent portions and retroreflective portions distributed over all or part of the surface thereof.

An illumination assembly for a vehicle is provided herein. The illumination assembly may employ a projection assembly that may be disposed within a housing extending from a portion of a vehicle. A window is disposed on the vehicle and may be optically coupled with the projection assembly. A luminescent structure may be disposed within the window and is excited by the projection assembly. A controller may be configured to activate the projection assembly to selectively illuminate indicia on the window.

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 by an image processor of image data captured by the camera. Responsive at least in part to processing of captured image data, a traffic lane of the road along which the vehicle is traveling is determined. Responsive at least in part to processing of captured image data, another vehicle present on the road and forward of the vehicle may be detected. Responsive at least in part to processing of captured image data, the system may determine that the detected other vehicle is travelling in a traffic lane to the left or to the right of the traffic lane along which the vehicle is traveling.

The present disclosure provides a vehicle driving shading device, a vehicle and a vehicle driving shading method. The vehicle driving shading method includes collecting light intensity of a driving environment; controlling shading rate of a shading area in a shading screen according to the light intensity of the driving environment.

A system includes an optical fiber embedded in a windshield. The system includes a reflector embedded in the windshield and oriented to reflect light to a first end of the optical fiber. The system includes a sensor oriented to receive light from a second end of the optical fiber.

A display of roadside objects on a vehicle windshield within a primary field of view of a driver, with an indication of a level of importance of the object is provided. A method includes: detecting, by a computer device, a roadside object in a vehicle driver's peripheral view; analyzing, by the computer device, the detected roadside object to assign a level of importance to the object based on predefined levels of importance; and displaying, by the computer device, the roadside object as a semi-transparent object in a display area of a windshield of the vehicle with an indication of the level of importance of the object.

A vehicle windscreen assembly includes a first windscreen at a front section of a vehicle and a second windscreen positioned beneath and at an angled position with the first windscreen. The second windscreen substantially reduces a driver's blind spot area in front of the vehicle.

A solid-state imaging device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a stacked photoelectric converter for each of pixels. The stacked photoelectric converter has a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements stacked therein. The plurality of photoelectric conversion elements each has different wavelength selectivity. This solid-state imaging device further includes a plurality of data output lines from which pixel signals based on electric charges outputted from the photoelectric conversion elements are outputted. A plurality of data output lines is provided for each predetermined unit pixel column. The plurality of the data output lines is equal in number to an integer multiple of the photoelectric conversion elements stacked in the stacked photoelectric converter.

A vehicle having no wiper, wherein an image displaying section is provided at a forward portion of a driving seat of the vehicle, a capturing means to capture road conditions of a vehicle forward direction is provided in front of the vehicle, an image display surface of the image displaying section is located in interior side of the vehicle, a captured image captured by the capturing means is displayed on the image display surface, and a driver drives while viewing the captured image displayed on the image display surface.
