Systems and methods for operating a vehicle are provided. In one example, an apparatus comprises a portion of a window of the vehicle having a configurable light transmittance, an image output device, and a controller configured to operate in a first mode when the vehicle is partially or fully controlled by a driver inside the vehicle and to operate in a second mode when the vehicle is not controlled by a driver inside the vehicle. In the first mode, the controller can adjust a light transmittance of the portion of the window to a first value to enable the driver inside the vehicle to see through the window. In the second mode, the controller can adjust the light transmittance of the portion of the window to a second value lower than the first value, and control the image output device to display an image on the portion of the window.

A vehicle provides a standardized and accurate image around the vehicle by changing an image obtained by the vehicle to a single reference and providing the changed image to a user terminal. The vehicle includes a communicator that communicates with the user terminal or a server and a camera that obtains an image around the vehicle. A controller then converts a surrounding image obtained by the camera into a reference image implemented with a predetermined parameter and transmits the reference image to the user terminal.

A method for capturing digital images during vehicle collisions includes: detecting, by a computer device, an impact with a vehicle; controlling, by the computer device and based on the detecting, at least one digital camera to capture images of an area around the vehicle; and transmitting, by the computer device, the images to a server that is remotely located relative to the vehicle.

A vehicular camera configured to be disposed at a vehicle so as to have a field of view exterior of the vehicle includes a lens holder, an imager printed circuit board, a connector printed circuit board and a rear housing. The imager printed circuit board has an imager disposed at a side thereof and is attached to the lens holder with the imager side facing the lens. The imager printed circuit board and the connector printed circuit board are joined together via a pliable material. The rear housing is mated with the lens holder to encase the imager printed circuit board and the connector printed board.

A work vehicle includes a vehicle body, a working implement, a camera, and a display control unit. To the vehicle body, front tires are mounted. The working implement is movably coupled to the vehicle body and at least a part thereof is arranged anterior to the front tires. The camera is arranged at a front portion of the vehicle body and shoots an image of an anterior area outside the vehicle body as a shooting area. The display control unit causes a display device to display a shot image shot by the camera and a first guide image which indicates a first projection position obtained by projecting a first site of the working implement on a plane including ground-contacting surfaces of the front tires in a superimposed manner.

The present disclosure provides a blocked information displaying method and system for use in an autonomous vehicle. The method comprises obtaining information about a road ahead the autonomous vehicle and information about a rear vehicle; determining road information blocked by the autonomous vehicle, according to a positional relationship between the autonomous vehicle and the rear vehicle; displaying the road information blocked by the autonomous vehicle to the rear vehicle. The present disclosure is used to solve problems in the prior art that the autonomous vehicle blocks road surface information and causes limitation to the field of vision of the rear vehicle, and that real-time display of the images of the road ahead the autonomous vehicle is prone to cause confusion, and can effectively improve the safety of the travel of the rear vehicle.

A driver-assistance device includes: a memory; and a processor including hardware. The processor is configured to: acquire both line-of-sight information on a line of sight of a driver and image data resulting from imaging surroundings of a vehicle; set a display position and display contents of an image generated from the image data based on the line-of-sight information; and output the display position and the display contents together with the image.

A method for giving a warning on a blind spot of a vehicle based on V2V communication is provided. The method includes steps of: (a) if a rear video of a first vehicle is acquired from a rear camera, a first blind-spot warning device transmitting the rear video to a blind-spot monitor, to determine whether nearby vehicles are in the rear video using a CNN, and output first blind-spot monitoring information of determining whether the nearby vehicles are in a blind spot; and (b) if second blind-spot monitoring information of determining whether a second vehicle is in the blind spot, is acquired from a second blind-spot warning device of the second vehicle, over the V2V communication, the first blind-spot warning device warning that one of the second vehicle and the nearby vehicles is in the blind spot by referring to the first and the second blind-spot monitoring information.

A surrounding area monitoring apparatus receives visual field information about a driver of a surrounding vehicle of a self vehicle, and decides whether the self vehicle is outside the visual field of the surrounding vehicle or not in accordance with the visual field information. Accordingly, it can learn the present dynamic visual field range of the driver of the surrounding vehicle actually traveling around the self vehicle, and obtain more accurate visual field range. Thus, it can appropriately give information that is really necessary and suppress giving unnecessary information.

A vision system for a vehicle includes a camera and an image processor. The camera has a forward field of view exterior of the vehicle. The image processor is operable to process image data captured by the camera. At least one device is operable to detect objects that are present forward of the vehicle and outside of the forward field of view of the camera. The device may include at least one of (i) a sensor, (ii) an element of a vehicle-to-vehicle communication system and (iii) an element of a vehicle-to-infrastructure communication system. Responsive to detection of the object being indicative of the object about to enter the field of view of the camera, the image processor anticipates the object entering the field of view of the camera and, upon entering of the field of view of the camera by the object, the image processor detects the object.
