Methods and devices are disclosed for determining and displaying the current fuel level to a vehicle operation while the vehicle ignition is turned off. An example vehicle includes a fuel tank including a fuel sensor, one or more external vehicle displays, and a processor. The processor is configured to determine a current fuel level of the fuel tank, determine a cost to fill the fuel tank, and display the current fuel level and the cost to fill the fuel tank on the one or more external vehicle displays, while a vehicle ignition is turned off.

A vehicle includes a traction battery and a controller. The controller is programmed to output an age value of the traction battery based on a ratio of a reference capacity value to an initial reference capacity. The reference capacity value is derived from a mean and a standard deviation of a plurality of historical battery capacity values and has a predetermined probability of being less than an actual battery capacity. The controller is programmed to adjust a battery control strategy based on the age value. The vehicle includes an instrument cluster that is configured to display the age value.

A charging or fueling well for insertion into a body opening of a motor vehicle, wherein the charging or fueling well has an outer well body and an inner well region, which surrounds a through opening, into which a charging plug connector for charging a battery of the motor vehicle or a fuel nozzle or tank filler pipe can be inserted. The outer well body includes, at least in some region or regions, a preferably opaque or only slightly translucent plastics material. The inner well region includes, at least in some region or regions, a transparent or translucent plastics material and is formed integrally with the material of the outer well body.

A driving support ECU initializes a target trajectory calculation parameter at a start of LCA; calculates, based on the target trajectory calculation parameter, a target trajectory function representing a target lateral position which is a target position of an own vehicle in a lane width direction in accordance with an elapsed time from the start of LCA; calculates a target control amount based on the target trajectory function; when a steering operation by a driver has been detected, again initializes the target trajectory calculation parameter; and recalculates the target trajectory function based on the target trajectory calculation parameter.

Provided is an imaging apparatus (10) including an imaging optical system (20), an image sensor (31), one or more circuit boards including at least one of the image sensor and an electronic component mounted thereon, a housing (11) including an opening that exposes the imaging optical system to a subject and supporting the imaging optical system, the image sensor, and the one or more circuit boards, a signal terminals (41) that transmit an image signal of the subject image captured by the image sensor to an outside of the housing, and a heat transfer unit (44) having heat conductivity connected to the plurality of terminals, the heat transfer unit that transfers heat generated from at least one of the image sensor and the electronic component to the plurality of terminals.

A surface panel is attached to an instrument panel so as to cover a display surface of a display unit disposed on the instrument panel of a vehicle. When the display unit is turned on, light L from the display unit is projected toward the driver's seat side via a thin hole formed in the surface panel.

Systems of an electrical vehicle and the operations thereof are provided that use identifiers and sensed power source parameters to determine whether a rule, such as a warranty or licensing requirement, has been violated.

A virtual image display device that displays a virtual image by projecting a display light image to a projection area of a vehicle, includes: a low-frequency information acquisition portion that acquires attitude change information of the vehicle at a low-frequency band; a high-frequency information acquisition portion that acquires attitude change information of the vehicle at a high-frequency band; an image renderer that renders image data of the display light image corrected to reduce misalignment attributed to the attitude change at the low-frequency band; a projection optical unit that includes a display surface to display an original image based on the image data, and projects light of the original image as the display light image; and a display controller that displaces the original image to reduce the misalignment of the virtual image attributed to the attitude change at the high-frequency band.

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.

An information and entertainment system of a vehicle providing a number of functions that can be used by a user of the vehicle. In the method, an order of priority of the multiple functions is set by the user, wherein the order of priority states a time availability of the functions desired by the user after an activation of the information and entertainment system. In accordance with the set order of priority, the multiple functions are carried out after a starting of the information and entertainment system, and sub-functions of the multiple functions can be immediately made available.
