An autonomous vehicle including a sensor system that outputs a sensor signal indicative of a condition of the autonomous vehicle. The vehicle also includes a user interface device with a display. A computing system determines, based upon a profile of the passenger, that support is to be provided textually to the passenger when the support is provided to the passenger. The computing system further detects occurrence of an event that has been identified as potentially causing discomfort to the passenger. The computing system yet further sets a predefined support message defined in an account corresponding to the event maintained in a database prior to occurrence of the event as a support message to be presented to the passenger. The computing system additionally causes the display to present the support message textually, wherein the textual support message solicits feedback from the passenger of the autonomous vehicle.

Display of display objects is changed as appropriate in accordance of situation change. A display control device includes: a display control unit configured to set an arrangement region on a display region of a display and control display of at least one or more display objects arranged in the arrangement region, the arrangement region having a virtual three-or-more-dimensional coordination system; and a situation determination unit configured to determine at least one situation of environment and a user, wherein the display control unit modifies the arrangement region in accordance with change of the situation.

A vehicular display control device includes: a display control unit for controlling a display device to superimpose an image on a surrounding view of the vehicle; and a sensor operation detecting unit for detecting whether an obstacle sensor detecting an obstacle around the vehicle is in operation. When the obstacle sensor is in operation, the display control unit: transforms a detection target area, which falls in a detection range of the obstacle sensor and expands from the vehicle to a periphery along a road surface, into a detection target image represented from a viewpoint of a driver of the vehicle; and displays a transformed image to be superimposed on the surrounding view of the vehicle.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a driver assistance apparatus and a driver assistance method. The driver assistance apparatus in accordance with the present invention includes a map information acquisition unit for acquiring map information including a lane shape, a lane shape correction unit for so correcting the lane shape as to coincide with a position of a lane which a driver of a vehicle can actually visually recognize in his visual field, and a display controller for performing control to so display an image of a virtual lane having the lane shape as to be superimposed on the lane which the driver can actually visually recognize in his visual field, and the display controller performs control to display the image of the virtual lane at least in a portion which the driver is impeded from actually visually recognizing in his visual field.

A vehicle control system includes a vehicle, an information terminal apparatus that can provide, on a display unit, a plurality of contents which provide training on an operation method of the vehicle, and a server that can communicate with the vehicle and the information terminal apparatus. The information terminal apparatus includes a display control unit configured to cause the display unit to display a first content that provides training on an operation method including a method to start an operation of a specific function of the vehicle and a second content that provides, to a user of the vehicle who has been trained by the first content and is registered in the server, training on an operation method corresponding to a phenomenon that can occur while the specific function is provided.

A non-contact operating apparatus, for a vehicle, includes a generating unit, a projecting device, a detecting device, and a setting unit. The generating unit is configured to generate and update an image containing an image object. The image object is operable by an occupant present within a vehicle compartment of the vehicle. The projecting device is configured to project the image in a predetermined display region within the vehicle compartment of the vehicle. The detecting device is configured to detect a riding state of the occupant who is present in the vehicle compartment of the vehicle. The setting unit is configured to instruct the projecting device or the generating unit to project the image at a position at which the image object is operable by the occupant who is in the riding state detected by the detecting device.

Systems and methods for using image analysis techniques to facilitate adjustments to vehicle components are disclosed. According to aspects, a computing device may access and analyze image data depicting an individual(s) within a vehicle, and in particular determine a positioning of the individual(s) within the vehicle. Based on the positioning, the computing device may determine how to adjust a vehicle component(s) to its optimal configuration, and may facilitate adjustment of the vehicle component(s) accordingly.

A vehicle control circuit is mountable on a vehicle on which a driver rides. The vehicle control circuit is configured to: receive an input of a detection result of a state of the driver during driving from at least one sensor, the sensor being mounted on the vehicle and configured to detect the state; output recommendation data to a notification device mounted on the vehicle, the recommendation data relating to use of a product or service for improving the state of the driver during driving indicated by the detection result; perform settlement processing for the use of the corresponding product or service in accordance with an input from the driver in response to the recommendation data; and provide a route to a destination of the use of the product or service based on completion of the settlement processing via the notification device.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and an apparatus for adjusting on-vehicle projection, a device, and a storage medium. The method includes the following features. A face image of the driver captured by the on-vehicle imager is obtained. A projection position of an on-vehicle projection device is determined based on the face image of the driver, a parameter of the on-vehicle imager and an installation position of the on-vehicle projection device.

A screen with a transmissive image generator with pixels which is operable in at least two operating modes, B1 for a free viewing mode and B2 for a restricted viewing mode, and with an illuminating apparatus comprising a backlight that has a planar extension and radiates light in a restricted angular range, a plate-shaped light guide arranged in front of the backlight and provided with outcoupling elements on one of the large surfaces and/or within its volume, the light guide being transparent to at least 70% of the light emitted by the backlight; and light sources arranged laterally at edges of the light guide. In mode B2, the backlight is switched on and the light sources are switched off, and in mode B1 at least the light sources are switched on. In interaction with the transmissive image generator the illuminating apparatus constitutes an advantageous screen permitting the operating modes.
