Disclosed are an audio apparatus and a vehicle having the same. The vehicle includes an input device, a display device, an audio apparatus configured to receive a frequency signal, amplify the received frequency signal, and demodulate the amplified frequency signal to output a signal in an audible frequency range, and a controller configured to identify broadcasting information corresponding to the frequency signal received by the audio apparatus and control the display device to display the identified broadcasting information, wherein the broadcasting information includes one or more of a program name, a broadcaster, a broadcasting time, and a broadcasting station name.

A component for a vehicle interior may comprise a light guide to allow light transmission from a light source for a user interface, and a cover to cover the light guide. The user interface may be presented at the cover. The cover may comprise a depression in an inner surface of the cover and the light guide may comprise a projection comprising a light-transmissive resin fit within the depression. The projection may comprise an icon to be presented at the user interface when illuminated, and to be hidden by the cover when not illuminated. The user interface may comprise a light display and an input device connected to a sensor. The icon may comprise an image. The cover thickness may be greater than the projection height. The component may comprise a steering wheel, console, floor console, center console, instrument panel, door panel, dashboard, display, armrest, or cockpit.

A driver assistance device includes a one or more processors. The one or more processors is configured to determine whether a pedal misapplication determination condition is satisfied, and output, when the one or more processors determines that the pedal misapplication determination condition is satisfied, at least one of a warning display and warning audio directly instructing a driver to release the pedal that is depressed at a point in time of outputting.

Methods and apparatus for detecting hazardous vehicle events and encouraging usage of driving optimized application features to mitigate occurrence of the hazardous vehicle events. The driving optimized application features can address unsafe driving events that are determined to be correlated with certain distracting application features. For example, an application of a computing device can determine that a user is occupying a vehicle and is driving toward a destination. While driving, data available to the application can indicate that an unsafe driving event, such as a hard braking event, has occurred while the user was interacting with another application. Thereafter, and based on this data, the application can render an output characterizing the correlation between the hard braking event and the other application, and/or provide the user with an option to interact with the other application via driving optimized feature(s).

A vehicle includes a body, an aperture defined by the body, a closure panel, and a load sensor. The closure panel is movable between an open position and a closed position. The closure panel covers at least a portion of the aperture when the closure panel is in the closed position. The load sensor is coupled to the closure panel. The load sensor senses a load that is applied to the closure panel.

A vehicle control system may include a controller that obtains route information based on a driving route and a location of a vehicle, searches for an uneven road surface on the driving route based on the route information, calculates an impulse based on vehicle information and shape information about the found uneven road surface when the uneven road surface is found, and sets a target speed based on the calculated impulse and user data.

A display apparatus and a vehicle including the same are provided. A display apparatus includes: a display panel configured to display an image, a driving circuit including: a flexible circuit film connected to the display panel, and a printed circuit board connected to the flexible circuit film, a first supporting member at a rear surface of the display panel, the first supporting member having a hole therein, and a vibration apparatus supported by the first supporting member, the vibration apparatus including a first vibration apparatus disposed at the rear surface of the display panel, wherein the flexible circuit film extends through the hole, and wherein the printed circuit board is disposed at a rear surface of the first supporting member.

An information processing device and an information processing method that prevent unnecessary warning are provided. An information processing device includes a host vehicle information acquisition part configured to acquire host vehicle information on a host vehicle, a setting part configured to set an allowable range for a driver's sight of the host vehicle based on the host vehicle information, a driver information acquisition part configured to acquire driver information on the driver, a determination part (inattentive driving determination part) configured to determine whether or not the driver is looking at the allowable range based on the allowable range and the driver information, and an output part (sound output part, vibration part, display part) configured to output a predetermined notification based on the determination of the determination part (inattentive driving determination part).

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for audio equalization based on variant selection. An example apparatus to equalize audio includes at least one memory, machine readable instructions, and processor circuitry to at least one of instantiate or execute the machine readable instructions to train a neural network model to apply a first audio equalization profile to first audio associated with a first variant of media, and apply a second audio equalization profile to second audio associated with a second variant of media. The processor circuitry is to at least one of instantiate or execute the machine readable instructions to at least one of dispatch or execute the neural network model.

A terminal device separate from a vehicle includes a receiver that receives a notification signal from the vehicle indicating that the vehicle is in a first state different from a second state, a notification unit that notifies a user of the terminal device of the first state based on the notification signal, an input unit that receives, from the user of the terminal device, an input commanding the first state to be maintained, and a transmitter that transmits a signal to the vehicle based on the input received by the input unit. The vehicle includes a control unit that performs control that maintains the first state after lapse of a predetermined time from a time that the notification unit of the terminal device notifies of the first state of the vehicle when a reception unit of the vehicle receives the signal transmitted from the transmitter within the predetermined time.
