An on-board computing system for a vehicle is configured to generate and selectively present a set of autonomous-switching directions within a navigation user interface for the operator of the vehicle. The autonomous-switching directions can inform the operator regarding changes to the vehicle's mode of autonomous operation. The on-board computing system can generate the set of autonomy-switching directions based on the vehicle's route and other information associated with the route, such as autonomous operation permissions (AOPs) for route segments that comprise the route. The on-board computing device can selectively present the autonomy-switching directions based on locations associated with anticipated changes in autonomous operations determined for the route of the vehicle, the vehicle's location, and the vehicle's speed. In addition, the on-board computing device is further configured to present audio alerts associated with the autonomy-switching directions to the operator of the vehicle.

Aspects of the technology relate to assisting a passenger in an autonomous vehicle without a driver. For instance, after a door of the vehicle is opened, a predetermined period of time may be waited by processors of computing devices of the vehicle. After waiting the predetermined period of time and when the vehicle's door remains open, a set of instructions for closing the vehicle's door may be played by the processors through a speaker of the vehicle. Once the door of the vehicle is closed, an announcement may be played by the processors through the speaker requesting that the passenger press a first button to initiate a ride to a destination. In response to the first button being pressed, the ride to the destination may be initiated by the processors by maneuvering the vehicle autonomously to the destination.

A method for displaying a feasibility of an at least semi-automatically executable driving maneuver in a transportation vehicle wherein data regarding the surroundings of the transportation vehicle forms the basis for determining whether the driving maneuver is able to be executed in the position of the transportation vehicle. A first graphical object is generated and displayed on a display surface, which signals whether the driving maneuver is able to be executed. A device for displaying a feasibility of an at least semi-automatically executable driving maneuver in a transportation vehicle.

A vehicle (2), said vehicle including driving protection apparatus (14) which is located at or adjacent to the position of the driver (10) when operating the vehicle and wherein there is provided, in location with or adjacent to the said driver protection apparatus, visual display means which are selectively operated to provide an indication of the condition of the vehicle and/or driver of the vehicle and/or the environment in which the vehicle is located at a particular instant of time.

The present application relates to a tire pressure receiver, including a main control unit, a tire pressure receiving unit, and a wireless communications unit. The wireless communications unit is configured to receive a first instruction sent by a terminal, and transmit the first instruction to the main control unit; the main control unit is configured to receive the first instruction, and update identity information of a tire pressure sensor according to the first instruction, so that the tire pressure sensor can match the tire pressure receiver; and then, the main control unit may receive, through the tire pressure receiving unit, tire pressure information corresponding to the tire pressure sensor of which the identity information is updated. In this way, a matching process is simplified, and user experience is improved. In addition, an instruction processing method is further provided.

Disclosed is a display apparatus for vehicle comprising: a display unit; an interface unit; and a processor configured to receive information on a first object and a second object positioned outside a vehicle through the interface unit, and control the display unit to display a graphic object corresponding to the first object, when the second object is positioned between the vehicle and the first object.

A glass substrate includes a pair of main surfaces including a first main surface and a second main surface opposed to the first main surface; an edge surface arranged along a direction orthogonal to the pair of main surfaces; and a connecting surface arranged between the first main surface and the edge surface. The connecting surface has a plurality of pores. A difference between a 50% particle diameter of the pores in a portion 20 m distant from the first main surface and a 50% particle diameter in a portion 20 m distant from the edge surface is 10 m or less.

An image processing device includes: an identification unit that identifies whether an attribute of a first light spot included in image information capturing a scenery in front of a vehicle is a facility related to a road, by referring to first feature information on the first light spot calculated by referring to the image information; and a storage unit that stores the first feature information when the attribute of the first light spot is identified as a facility related to the road. The identification unit identifies whether an attribute of a second light spot included in the image information is a facility related to the road, by using the first feature information stored.

In one embodiment, a safety system for playing vehicle monitored content in a vehicle while minimizing driver distraction is provided. When the driver selects a camera, such as a rear view camera, vehicle monitored content stream from the camera is displayed on a display in the vehicle. While the driver drives the vehicle, the eye-gaze of the driver is monitored. When the eye-gaze of the driver shows that the driver is looking at the display, a timer is started. The timer runs when the driver looks at the display. When the eye-gaze of the driver shows that the driver has looked at the road continuously for more than a threshold amount of time, the time associated with the vehicle monitored content is reset back to its initial value. If the timer runs out, indicating that the driver has been watching the vehicle monitored content too much without also looking at the road, the vehicle monitored content is stopped and the driver is prevented from watching the vehicle monitored content for some period of time.

Provided are a rear camera and a door camera provided at different positions and configured to image vehicle surroundings rearward from a vehicle, and a monitor configured to display a composite image merging captured images captured by the respective cameras and to display a blind spot advisory image to advise of a blind spot in the composite image.
