An electric vehicle display system may include a battery, an interface configured to present at least one selectable icon configured to control a battery powered vehicle feature, and a controller programmed to, in response to state-of-charge (SOC) data indicating that a trip range exceeds a possible driving range, update the selectable icon to indicate a suggested adjustment to the vehicle feature to decrease power demand of the feature.

A head-up display system and a vehicle system are provided. The head-up display system includes a display and a projection screen. The display is configured to display a first image. The projection screen is disposed adjacent to the display and is configured to let the first image to be projected thereon to form a second image. The display includes a first region adjacent to the projection screen and a second region away from the projection screen. The projection screen includes a third region adjacent to the display and a fourth region away from the display. When the display displays the first image, a brightness difference between the first region and the second region is greater than a brightness difference between the third region and the fourth region.

Provided is a headup display device which is not liable to generate abnormal sound. The headup display device comprises: a liquid crystal display for emitting display light; a concave mirror for reflecting the display light; and a motor device for rotating the concave mirror. The motor device includes: a motor having a motor shaft projecting from a motor body; a worm connected to the motor shaft and having a spiral groove formed on the outer peripheral surface; and a worm wheel provided with teeth engaging with the spiral groove and transmitting a driving force from the motor to the concave mirror. A hole is formed inside the worm extending in the axial direction of the worm from the end face of the worm near the motor body. A compression coil spring is arranged in the hole for biasing the worm in the direction opposite the motor body and biasing the motor shaft toward the motor body.

An information display system displaying different information on each of a plurality of display units includes: a sight line specifying portion that specifies a line of sight of a driver; a cognition display unit specifying portion that specifies, as a cognition display unit, one of the display units being in a direction of the line of sight; a non-cognition display unit specifying portion that specifies, as a non-cognition display unit, a different one of the display units; a priority order assignment portion that assigns a priority order to the non-cognition display unit or displayed information; and a guide process execution portion that executes a guide process in which the line of sight is guided to the non-cognition display unit or the display unit.

A method for adjusting at least one vehicle mirror and/or a screen includes capturing a head outline of a driver in relation to at least one vehicle geometry of the passenger compartment of the vehicle using a passenger-compartment camera of the vehicle. The position of the head of the driver is calculated using, at least in part, the captured head outline and calibration information with respect to the at least one vehicle geometry of the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The method also includes determining a target position of the at least one vehicle mirror and/or of the screen using, at least in part, the calculated head position. The method further includes activating an actuator of the at least one vehicle mirror and/or of the screen for the purpose of bringing about the determined target position of the vehicle mirror and/or of the screen.

Disclosed here is a system for a vehicle including a personal electronic device in communication with a vehicle head unit, the personal electronic device synchronized with the vehicle head unit for controlling which application icons appear on the vehicle head unit. Also disclosed is a computer storage media having embodied thereon computer-useable instructions that, when executed, perform a method, the method includes synchronizing the display of a plurality of applications that each operate a respective vehicle system between a vehicle head unit and a personal electronic device.

An apparatus comprising a sensor and a processor. The sensor may be configured to capture a first video signal having a first field of view. The processor may be configured to generate a second video signal having a second field of view and a third video signal having a third field of view. The second video signal may generate the second field of view to include a first portion of the first video signal. The third video signal may generate the third field of view to include a second portion of the first video signal. The second portion may be processed to remove possible warping present on a bottom portion of the first video signal. The first and second portions may comprise an area less than the first field of view.

A steering column assembly includes a steering wheel having a steering wheel rim, a steering wheel hub, and a rim extension segment. The steering column assembly also includes a motor operatively coupled to the rim extension segment. The steering column assembly further includes a jacket assembly operatively coupled to the steering wheel, wherein the jacket assembly defines a central passage extending in a longitudinal direction of the steering column assembly, wherein the central passage does not include a steering shaft therein.

This disclosure provides systems, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for selecting and implementing automobile system function selectable by an eye gaze of a driver of a vehicle. In some implementations, the method can include receiving, via gaze sensors, gaze data indicative of the eye gaze of the driver of the vehicle. Additionally, the method can include determining, based on the gaze data, that the driver of the vehicle is looking at a selectable graphical user interface element (GUI). The method can additionally include capturing eyelid movement of the driver. The method can further include analyzing captured eyelid movement to determine whether to perform an automobile system function associated with the GUI element. The method can furthermore include performing the automobile system function associated with the GUI element upon determining that analysis of the captured eyelid movement indicates the automobile system function is to be performed.

A head up display arrangement for a motor vehicle includes a driver-monitoring camera capturing images of a human driver of the motor vehicle. A picture generation unit emits a light field such that the light field is reflected by a windshield of the vehicle so as to be visible by a human driver of the motor vehicle as a virtual image. An electronic processor is communicatively coupled to the driver-monitoring camera and to the picture generation unit. The electronic processor receives the images captured by the driver-monitoring camera and determines, dependent upon the captured images, an element in the virtual image at which eyes of the human driver are looking. The electronic processor controls the picture generation unit to increase a relative brightness of the element in the virtual image at which eyes of the human driver are looking as compared to brightnesses of other elements in the virtual image.
