A vehicular driving assist system includes an electronic control unit (ECU). When the equipped vehicle is driving in the autonomous mode, driving of the vehicle is controlled by the ECU without human intervention. When the vehicle is being driven in a non-autonomous mode, a particular driver at least partially drives the vehicle. The vehicular driving assist system learns a driving style of the particular driver and, when the vehicle is being driven in the non-autonomous mode by the particular driver, the system restricts learning of the driving style of the particular driver responsive to determination by the system that the particular driver is (i) driving the vehicle erratically and/or (ii) performing an illegal driving maneuver. When the vehicle is driving in the autonomous mode, and responsive to the particular driver being present in the vehicle, the vehicle drives in accordance with the learned driving style of the particular driver.

The present disclosure provides a vehicle control device, a vehicle control method and a head-up display apparatus. The vehicle control device includes: an extraction circuit used to extract brain wave signals of a user; and a control circuit used to determine whether the user is in an unsafe driving state according to the brain wave signals, and perform at least one of operations including issuing a warning reminder and controlling vehicle deceleration when determining that the user is in the unsafe driving state.

A system in a vehicle can have a camera and/or a sensor. Such a camera can be configured to record a visual feature of a user in the vehicle and send data derived from the visual feature. Such a sensor can be configured to sense a non-visual feature of the user in the vehicle and send data derived from the non-visual feature. The system can have a computing system configured to receive such data from the camera and the sensor. The computing device can also be configured to determine a state of the user based on the received data derived from visual and non-visual features, as well as an AI system. The computing device can also be configured to enable or disable a function of the vehicle based at least partially on the state of the user, which the AI system can infer from the received data.

An information processing device includes a control unit. The control unit determines a service content fit for an occupant by acquiring first information from a first sensor installed in a vehicle cabin of a vehicle for detecting the occupant and second information from a second sensor for detecting opening and closing of a door of the vehicle, estimating composition information of the occupant based on the first information that is acquired, estimating mood information of the occupant based on the second information that is acquired, and comparing the composition information and the mood information that are estimated with past data for another occupant in which the composition information and the mood information are associated with a service content received at a service facility.

The present disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for generating data representative of an individual's insurance risk based on actual driving behaviors and driving environment. The systems and methods may include collecting data from personal electronic device sensors, vehicle sensors, driver inputs, environment sensors and interactions of the vehicle, the driver and the environment. The systems and methods may further include analyzing the data to generate data representative of an individual insurance risk. The systems and methods may further include presenting the data representative of the individual insurance risk to an individual.

A driving control system includes an automatic driving control device and a driver monitoring device. The automatic driving control device includes a driver state determining unit, an override detector, a retreat mode controller, and a retreat mode canceler. During traveling under an automatic driving mode, when the driver state determining unit determines from a driver state detected by the driver monitoring device that the driver is not in a state capable of driving normally, the retreat mode controller sets a retreat mode in which an override operation is disabled and an own vehicle is caused to travel for retreat. When the driver state determining unit determines, during traveling for retreat, that the driver has returned to the state capable of driving normally, the retreat mode canceler cancels the retreat mode, and enables detection of the override operation of the driver by the override detector.

The invention relates to a system that interacts with an occupant of a motor vehicle, comprising: —a measuring device comprising at least one sensor arranged to capture at least one parameter relating to the occupant of said vehicle, —an on-board processing unit using an evaluation model for the emotional state of the occupant, said processing unit being arranged to receive said parameter and to define a data item representative of the emotional state of said occupant using the model, —the representative data corresponding to a point in a three-dimensional space for characterising the emotional state of the occupant, and —at least one actuator configured to activate at least one multi-sensory stimulus for interaction with the occupant, said stimulus allowing the emotional state of said occupant to be altered.

Embodiments of the present disclosure sets forth a computer-implemented method for playing back media content comprising determining, based on sensor data, a first mental state associated with a user accessing media content, and modifying playback of media content based on the first mental state.

An emotion determination device includes a memory and a processor connected to the memory. The processor is configured to acquire a facial image of a user, set an evaluation value for each of plural emotion classifications including a neutral state based on the acquired facial image, compute a correction value using an evaluation value set based on a neutral facial image acquired at a timing corresponding to a neutral state, and determine an emotion of the user by applying the computed correction value to the set evaluation values.

The present invention provides an in-vehicle device that provides a driving guidance to a driver, comprising: a selection unit for selecting ideal traveling information from a plurality of pieces of ideal traveling information associated with a plurality of skill levels, respectively, in accordance with an estimation result of a feeling of the driver; a determination unit for determining, for each of a plurality of items to provide a driving guidance, whether a difference between traveling information detected by a sensor of a vehicle during traveling and the ideal traveling information selected by the selection unit falls within an allowable range; and a notification unit for notifying the driver of an item for which the determination unit determines that the difference does not fall within the allowable range in the plurality of items.
