A vehicular driver monitoring system includes an interior prismatic rearview mirror assembly and a camera disposed at the interior prismatic rearview mirror assembly behind and viewing through a prismatic mirror reflective element into the interior cabin of the vehicle. Supplemental sources of near infrared illumination are disposed at the mirror assembly that are operable to emit near infrared light to illuminate at least the driver-side front seating area within the interior cabin of the vehicle. Presence of the camera behind the prismatic mirror reflective element is not readily apparent to an occupant of the vehicle. The camera at least (a) views the driver-side front seating area of the vehicle and (b) views a passenger-side front seating area of the vehicle. The driver of the equipped vehicle is monitored via processing at the processor of image data captured by the camera.

A steering system for an autonomous vehicle includes an autonomous driving assist steering system for controlling steering of the autonomous vehicle in a primary steering mode. Also included is an alternate steering mechanism controlling steering of the autonomous vehicle in a secondary steering mode, wherein the alternate steering mechanism is not a steering wheel.

A shovel according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a lower traveling body, an upper turning body rotatably mounted on the lower traveling body, an operator's compartment provided to the upper turning body, a display device provided in the operator's compartment, and an input device provided in the operator's compartment. The display device is capable of displaying a setting screen for a construction support system using information and communication technology, and a function to switch a screen displayed on the display device to the setting screen is assigned to the input device.

A track-type machine includes first and second ground-engaging track assemblies, each having a drive motor, and a propulsion system including an operator station with first and second joysticks, and a travel control system including input devices resident on the first and second joysticks. The input devices are adjustable to vary at least one of a speed or a direction of the drive motors in the track assemblies. Adjustment of the drive motor speed can be in proportion to an adjustment of the corresponding input device.

The present invention provides an operating module comprising: a vehicular multi-operating switch unit; a module housing configured to allow the vehicular multi-operating switch unit to be movably accommodated therein; a module drive unit disposed in the module housing and configured to generate a driving force that moves the module housing; a module unit shuttle configured to allow the vehicular multi-operating switch unit to be accommodated therein, the module unit shuttle being movably disposed in the module housing; and a module drive transfer unit connected at one side thereof to the module drive unit and connected at the other side thereof to the module unit shuttle, and configured to transfer a driving force that moves the vehicular multi-operating switch unit relative to the module housing, wherein a switch knob is provided at an end of the switch shaft unit, is moved together with the module unit shuttle in response to the movement of the module unit shuttle, and forms a grip for a user, and wherein a module optical unit s provided at the module housing and is configured to display an operation state of the switch knob, including whether or not the switch knob can be operated.

A video display system for a vehicle includes a video display device disposed in the vehicle so as to be viewable by a driver of the vehicle. A camera is disposed at the vehicle and having an exterior field of view and operable to capture image data. The field of view of the camera encompasses a blind spot of the vehicle. A control includes a data processor. The control, responsive at least in part to processing by the data processor of data captured by at least one sensor of the vehicle, detects an object present exterior of the vehicle that is in the field of view of the camera. Responsive to detection of the object present exterior of the vehicle, the control controls the video display device to episodically and automatically display video images of the object that are derived from image data captured by the camera.

A manipulation apparatus includes an image display device for displaying an image containing a command portion, an operation unit manually operable by a user, a pointer display unit for displaying a pointer at a position corresponding to an operation state of an operation unit on the image displayed on the image display unit, a vibration application unit for applying vibration to the operation unit, and a direction determination unit for, based on a positional relationship between the command portion and the pointer or based on contents of the command corresponding to the command portion, determining a direction of a force that is first applied to the operation unit as the vibration by the vibration application unit when the pointer is displayed on the command portion.

A method includes displaying information via a first display, displaying information via a second display, controlling the information displayed via the first display and the second display with a controller, and receiving a first input from a user through a user interface. The first input includes a command to change a setting of the first display or the second display and/or the information being displayed via the first display or the second display. The method also includes generating a first haptic effect to confirm receipt of the first input.

A touchscreen Human Machine Interface (HMI) may be used to communicate with a machine controller which, in turn, may communicate with a variety of systems of an agricultural machine to calibrate those systems. Accordingly, the HMI, via the machine controller, may communicate and interact with various electronically controlled devices of the machine, such as a joystick, a brake pedal, a hydrostatic pump system, a steering angle sensor, a rear steering controller, and the like (such as via an ISO Bus or CAN bus) to effect such calibrations.

A vehicle control system includes an automated driving controller configured to execute automated driving of a vehicle by automatically performing at least one of speed control and steering control of the vehicle, an operation reception section configured to receive an operation to switch a shift position of the vehicle, and an operation controller configured to limit reception, by the operation reception section, of the operation to switch the shift position while the automated driving is being executed by the automated driving controller.
