Systems and methods for generating head-up displays (HUDs) using waveguides incorporating Bragg gratings in accordance with various embodiments of the invention are provided. The term HUD is typically utilized to describe a class of displays that incorporates a transparent display that presents data without requiring users to look away from their usual viewpoints. HUDs can be incorporated in any of a variety of applications including (but not limited to) vehicular and near-eye applications, such as googles, eyewear, etc. HUDs that utilize planar waveguides that incorporate Bragg gratings in accordance with various embodiments of the invention can achieve significantly larger fields of view and have lower volumetric requirements than HUDs implemented using conventional optical components.

Methods, systems, and apparatuses for outputting situation-dependent, expanded warning information in a driver assistance system of a vehicle. The driver assistance system outputs situation-contingent, expanded warning information in the vehicle. A registration unit registers an output of warning information in an information-output unit of the vehicle. A sensor ascertains a degree of attentiveness of a driver of the vehicle. An electronic control unit controls an output in the vehicle such that, where a low degree of attentiveness of the driver has been ascertained, the output provides an expanded output of warning information in the vehicle.

An image display apparatus 100 for a vehicle is provided with: an image display unit 2 that has a light source and a display element and outputs image light; a mirror 3 that reflects the image light output by the image display unit 2 toward a windshield 7; a mirror drive unit 4 that changes the angle and position of the mirror 3; and a control unit 10 that determines amounts of change in the angle and position of the mirror and controls the mirror drive unit 4. The control unit 10 makes determinations of the amount of change for the angle and position of the mirror in association with each other such that the image is visible even if the position of the driver's eyes 8 changes and the display state of the image with respect to the driver does not change.

An operation device for an autonomous vehicle includes a touch panel configured to display at least one of a start button and a deceleration button, and a notification button on the same screen. The autonomous vehicle is autonomously drivable. The start button is a button for starting driving of the autonomous vehicle in an autonomous drive mode. The deceleration button is a button for decelerating the autonomous vehicle during the autonomous drive mode. The notification button is a button for performing notification to an outside of the autonomous vehicle.

The invention relates to an arrangement (I) of a palm rest (IO) and a manually actuatable operating element (20) for a vehicle. The palm rest (IO) is designed to adopt a first and a second position relative to the operating element (20), the palm rest (IO) being positioned, in the first position, such that it enables a hand (2) to be supported while the operating element (20) is being operated. To protect against damage and to enable the vehicle interior to be better used, the palm rest (IO) is positioned, in the second position, such that the palm rest (IO) at least partially projects over and/or covers the operating element (20).

The present technology relates to a display system, a display device, a display method, and a mobile apparatus capable of improving convenience for an occupant of the mobile apparatus.

The display system includes a first display that extends in a left-right direction in front of a first seat of a mobile apparatus, in which a left end portion of the first display faces diagonally backward right as viewed from the first seat, a center portion of the first display faces backward as viewed from the first seat, and a right end portion of the first display faces diagonally backward left as viewed from the first seat. The present technology can be applied to, for example, an in-vehicle display system.

A vehicle display system includes a display device, a position acquiring unit, and a distortion correction processor. The display device is mounted on a vehicle. The position acquiring unit is configured to acquire a position of a target by which an image to be displayed by the display device is to be viewed. The distortion correction processor is configured to correct, on a basis of the position of the target acquired by the position acquiring unit, distortion of the image to be displayed by the display device.

A vehicle display system includes a display device, a determiner, and a display controller. The display device provides a display on a window of a vehicle. The determiner determines whether a driver of the vehicle comes close to the vehicle. The display controller controls the display device to provide the display for an outside of the vehicle, when the determiner determines that the driver of the vehicle comes close to the vehicle.

A head-up display device includes an optical unit that includes a drivable reflecting mirror and adjusts a virtual image display position by driving the mirror, a reduction gear mechanism rotatably including transmission gears, a resilient member that generates restoring force in a direction to engage the gears, and a control unit controlling a rotational position of the stepping motor based on an adjustment command by a vehicle occupant. At least one gear predicted to incur a creep deformation is a specific gear. An environmental temperature of the specific gear where the deformation is predicted is a predicted deformation temperature. A deviation predicted to be caused at the display position by the deformation at the predicted deformation temperature is a predicted display deviation. The control unit corrects the rotational position in a direction to reduce the predicted display deviation when the environmental temperature rises to the predicted deformation temperature or higher.

A method for setting a multi remote control in a vehicle includes:a communicator configured to perform wireless communication with a plurality of mobile communication terminals in the vehicle, a storage configured to store information related to the plurality of mobile communication terminals and remote control function setting information of a device in the vehicle, and a controller configured to distinguish between a mobile communication terminal located in a front seat and a mobile communication terminal located in a rear seat based on short-range communication connection strength of each of a plurality of mobile communication terminals inside the vehicle, the controller distributing each of a front seat remote control function and a rear seat remote control function to the distinguished front seat or rear seat mobile communication terminal.
