20200151973 · 2020-05-14 ·

The present disclosure provides systems and methods to obtain feedback descriptive of autonomous vehicle failures. In particular, the systems and methods of the present disclosure can detect that a vehicle failure event occurred at an autonomous vehicle and, in response, provide an interactive user interface that enables a human located within the autonomous vehicle to enter feedback that describes the vehicle failure event. Thus, the systems and methods of the present disclosure can actively prompt and/or enable entry of feedback in response to a particular instance of a vehicle failure event, thereby enabling improved and streamlined collection of information about autonomous vehicle failures.

An information terminal controlling operations of applications according to a user's operation received via a touch panel includes a display control unit configured to display a first functional icon assigned with a first operation that is activated when the user touches the first functional icon for a predetermined period of time or less, wherein the display control unit displays a second functional icon at a position adjacent to the first functional icon when the user touches the first functional icon for more than the predetermined period of time, and wherein the second functional icon assigned with another operation, which is different from the first operation, that is activated when the user touches the second functional icon.

DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE

A personalization setting unit sets enable and disable of a personalization function that allows the set value to be changed to a recommended value for each of the driver assistance functions and for each driver registered in the driver information registration unit. A recommended value calculation unit obtains the recommended value based on driving-related information of the driver including a driving history. A change condition setting unit sorts a plurality of the recommended values into an approval type recommended value that requires an approval of the driver and an automatic change type recommended value that does not require the approval of the driver. A display control unit is able to display an approval screen for the approval type recommended value on a center display that is a display unit, and suspends display of the approval screen while the vehicle is traveling.

DISPLAY CONTROL DEVICE FOR VEHICLE, DISPLAY METHOD FOR VEHICLE, AND NON-TRANSITORY RECORDING MEDIUM FOR VEHICLE

A display control device for a vehicle includes a memory, and at least one processor connected to the memory. The processor displays, on a display portion provided at a front side of a driver's seat, plural icons corresponding to a steering switch group that has a touch-sensor-type first switch and a non-touch-sensor-type second switch. The plural icons include a first icon corresponding to the first switch and a second icon corresponding to the second switch. In a case in which a touch operation of the first switch is sensed, the processor displays both the first icon and the second icon, and, in a case in which a non-touch operation of the second switch is sensed, the processor sets both the first icon and the second icon in non-displayed states.

A representation of information on a movably mounted display surface is controlled depending on the available space on the display surface. In order to allow an optimal usability of the display surface a portion of the display surface which is hidden from view of a passenger compartment when the display surface moves physically and a remaining, still visible portion of the display surface, are defined. The remaining, still visible portion, defines the available space on the display surface. In addition, depending on the physical movement of the display surface and a consequential accompanying size change of the visible portion, a layout of the representation of the information is changed such that the information is displayed on the visible portion.
