An apparatus for an autonomous vehicle may include a controller. The controller may monitor one or more components or systems of the autonomous vehicle. The controller may determine a fault condition of the autonomous vehicle, such as for a component or a system of the autonomous vehicle. The apparatus may include a human-machine interface for a user, such as an occupant of the autonomous vehicle. The apparatus may communicate, via the human-machine interface, an alert based on the fault condition. This may be in accordance with a profile associated with the user.

Systems and methods directed to recognizing, displaying, identifying, and labeling of an object along a direction of motion of the autonomous along a road is disclosed. In some embodiments, an autonomous vehicle with a light projector is disclosed, where the light projector is on a top surface of an autonomous vehicle. Additionally, in some embodiments, the autonomous vehicle may include an electronic control unit for controlling an operation of the light projector, where the electronic control unit detects whether the autonomous vehicle is turned on. In further embodiments, the electronic control unit receives data of an environmental condition surrounding the autonomous vehicle and receives an upcoming trajectory path of the autonomous vehicle. The electronic control unit may also project a light from the light projector onto a surface of a road indicating an adjusted direction of motion of the autonomous vehicle based on confirmation by the occupant of the identifying and the labeling of the object utilizing one or more autonomous vehicle actions.

The notification system of a vehicle of the present disclosure includes a communication device, a millimeter wave radar device, an imaging device, an ACCECU, and a notification device. The imaging device is configured to acquire surrounding information of the vehicle. The ACCECU is configured to set priority of a plurality of items of notification information based on the surrounding information of the vehicle. The notification device is configured to notify a notification target person of the plurality of items of notification information based on the priority set by the ACCECU.

An information provision device and an information provision method. Each of the information provision device and information provision method includes projecting an image light to a light transmission member so as to display a for-driver information image, sensing a relative distance of an object to be detected existing around the mobile object in the direction of travel, detecting a location of a viewpoint of the driver, and changing a position at which an object image indicating the object to be detected is displayed according to a result of the detecting so as to change a perception distance of the driver influenced by a motion parallax of the object image according to the relative distance of the object to be detected in the direction of travel.

A charge management method includes generating and storing a charge schedule related to an electric energy for charging a vehicle within an amount of suppliable electric power for charging said vehicle located in a region, wherein said vehicle includes a rechargeable battery. The method further includes storing an identification number of said vehicle in said region by an EV controlling center. The method further includes determining a propriety of charging said vehicle at a current time and location based on said charge schedule in response to detection of a signal indicating a start of a charging process of said rechargeable battery from said vehicle having said identification number.

Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for executing an event pertaining to a vehicle and a user of the vehicle are presented. In some embodiments, a includes (a) detecting that a motion state of the vehicle is in a first state, (b) detecting a condition that warrants a change in the motion state of the vehicle to a second state, and (c) detecting the user of the vehicle's engagement in an activity that potentially impairs the user from performing an action to change the motion state of the vehicle to the second state. The method also includes, detecting the condition, and (c) detecting the user of the vehicle's engagement in the activity, executing an event to facilitate the change in the motion state of the vehicle to the second state.

A display system includes a display configured to superimpose an image on a landscape in front of a vehicle and cause the image to be visually recognized by an occupant of the vehicle, a road shape acquirer configured to acquire information indicating a shape of a road around the vehicle, and a display controller configured to change a display aspect of an image regarding a road to be displayed on the display, on the basis of a form of a roundabout including one or both of a shape component and an outer diameter of the roundabout obtained from the information in a case that the roundabout has been determined to be included in the road shape by referring to the information acquired by the road shape acquirer.

A virtual lane generating method and device is provided. The virtual lane generating method includes determining validity of lane detection information extracted from an image in front a vehicle, and generating a virtual lane based on an object included in the image, in response to a determination that the lane detection information is not valid.
