Disclosed herein are devices, methods and systems for producing hologram-based indicia for a vehicle dashboard/cockpit. By employing the aspects disclosed herein, indicia (electronically coupled to the vehicle's microprocessor), is lighted and projected in a three-dimensional virtual manner. The aspects disclosed herein may be embedded in various portions in the vehicle and thus, not consume extra space or area required to create virtual images through other techniques.

A system includes a first graphics interface, a second graphics interface, and a display system. The first graphics interface is configured to receive first graphics instructions from a user application, identify an abstraction mode of the user application, and generate second graphics instructions based on the first graphics instructions and the abstraction mode. The second graphics interface is configured to receive the second graphics instructions from the first graphics interface and generate a widget based on the second graphics instructions. The display system includes a graphics generator and a display device. The graphics generator is configured to generate a visual representation based on the widget. The display device is configured to display the visual representation.

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.

A method of display control is a method of control of display by an ECU of a vehicle and a CPU of a management server, the ECU controlling an HMI that shows information on a plurality of replacement stations for replacement with a battery to be mounted on a vehicle. The method includes specifying for each replacement station, by the CPU of the management server, reference information on a degree of deterioration when a user selects the battery that is replaceable, the battery being stored at a replacement station that satisfies a prescribed condition among the plurality of replacement stations and controlling, by the ECU of the vehicle, the HMI to show the reference information together with information on the replacement station. The user can select the replacement station in consideration of the degree of deterioration of the battery.

A vehicle display device includes a processor, the processor being configured to acquire a deceleration state of a vehicle achieved by driver assistance and a reason for decelerating the vehicle, and cause a display to display a deceleration image indicating that the vehicle is decelerating and a reason image indicating the reason, based on the acquired deceleration state and the acquired reason.

An electric vehicle having an electric motor is provided. The electric vehicle having a receptacle slot integrated in the electric vehicle. The receptacle slot provides an electrical connection for providing power to the electric motor. A battery having an elongated form factor, where a first end of the elongated form factor includes a handle and a second end of the elongated form factor includes a connection for interfacing with the electrical connection of the receptacle slot of the vehicle, when the battery is slid into the receptacle slot for electrical engagement. The battery is configured to store and supply charge to power the electric motor of the electric vehicle and the battery is replaceable by sliding the battery out of the receptacle slot and sliding in another battery into the receptacle slot to further supply charge to power the electric motor of the electric vehicle with said another battery. The battery and said another battery each have a respective handle that is accessible for enabling hand-removal and hand-insertion of said battery and said another battery out of and into the receptacle slot. A computer on-board the electric vehicle is interfaced with the electrical connection of the receptacle slot to obtain a level of charge of the battery present in the receptacle slot. A battery level indicator of the electric vehicle provides information regarding the level of charge of the battery in the receptacle slot. A system for storing and charging batteries usable by the electric vehicle is further provided. In some examples, the batteries are additionally or alternatively recharged using green sources, such as wind or solar.

A system and method of monitoring the operation of a work vehicle having a work implement and using a display device with a display. The method includes displaying on the display device a display field; displaying within the display field a graphical user interface including an application launcher icon; launching a run page within the graphical user interface upon selecting the application launcher icon; and displaying within the run page a first overlay, a second overlay, and a header ribbon. The first overlay and second overlays covers a first portion and second portion of the run page, respectively, with a header positioned adjacent to one the overlays and a predetermined application icon cluster. Upon selecting icon from predetermined application icon cluster, the display field displays a third running application covering the first section, and automatically updates the second section or the predetermined application icon cluster.

A control device for a vehicle controls notification using a notification unit included in a steering input unit of the vehicle operates in an operation state selected from a plurality of states. The plurality of states include a first state and a second state that each provide drive assist. Map information including information that is not used in the first state is used in the second state. The second state is based on a condition that a driver of the vehicle grips the steering input unit. The notification control unit does not perform notification using the notification unit while the travel control unit is operating in the first state, and performs notification using the notification unit while the travel control unit is operating in the second state.

The disclosure is generally directed to in-vehicle entertainment systems and methods. An example method executed by processor of a vehicle may include displaying an iconic representation containing a first icon representing a musical instrument and a second icon representing a vehicle component. The processor may detect an assigning of the musical instrument to the vehicle component. The assigning may be carried out, for example, by a driver of the vehicle executing a drag-and-operation to overlap the first icon with second icon. The processor may then detect a physical contact made upon the vehicle component and generate, based on detecting the physical contact, a musical sound corresponding to the musical instrument.

An integrated truck monitor and dump body controller that monitors sensor information of truck functions, dump body position and stability, with the ability to operate and control the dump body from the in-cab integrated truck monitor and dump body controller by the operator through an interactive display.
