Some embodiments of the present invention provide a control system for a motor vehicle having a first user-operable transmission selector means for selecting a forward operating mode of a transmission corresponding to travel in a forward direction and a reverse operating mode of a transmission corresponding to travel in a reverse direction opposite the forward direction, the control system comprising: a user-operable gear selector configured in a first functional mode to, upon receipt of a user input, select between a plurality of forward direction gear ratios, and wherein the user-operable gear selector is re-configured in a second functional mode to, upon receipt of a user input, select between the forward operating mode and the reverse operating mode.

A vehicle display system includes: a display arranged in a cabin of a vehicle and configured to display settings of a plurality of setting items of an air conditioner; and an electronic control unit configured to calculate an index value indicating a level of an operating load of the air conditioner on the basis of the setting of the setting item that influences a load state of the air conditioner among the plurality of setting items, and display, on the display unit, the index value and the setting of the setting item used to calculate the index value among the plurality of setting items.

An agricultural system including a vehicle, a controller and a display mounted in the vehicle, and an implement coupled to the vehicle. The display is coupled to the controller, and the controller is configured to: identify a system configuration of the vehicle; identify a system configuration of the implement; load and render on the display a selected user interface dependent upon the system configuration of the vehicle and the system configuration of the implement; and provide a tutorial mode with navigational aids to complete setup data for the agricultural system relative to the system configuration of the vehicle and the system configuration of the implement.

A computer includes a diagnosis unit configured to, for a vehicle in which an abnormality has occurred and continuing traveling by autonomous driving is impossible, determine whether or not the vehicle is able to be restored on a spot and whether or not the vehicle is able to travel by manual driving. Such a computer may be mounted on a vehicle, a server, and a mobile terminal.

A vehicular information processing apparatus includes a storage unit in which running states of a vehicle each including a height of the vehicle and a manner of drive power distribution are stored so as to correspond to respective running modes, an input/output device that receives an input manipulation for selecting one of the running modes and a display control unit that causes the input/output device to make a display that indicates the selected running mode. The display control unit causes the input/output device to display a running state corresponding to the selected running mode in the form of an animation together with a skeleton image of the vehicle, and then display an appearance of the vehicle.

A vehicle input device comprises an operation detection section configured to detect input to an onboard unit allocated to one operation section of plural of operation sections provided in a vicinity of a driving seat due to the one operation section being operated, a preliminary action detection section configured to detect a preliminary action directly prior to the one operation section being operated, and a notification section configured to notify an occupant of information relating to the onboard unit allocated to the one operation section in a case in which the preliminary action has been detected by the preliminary action detection section.

Disclosed are a drunk driving prevention system and a method of controlling the system that includes a sensor module measuring a alcohol content in the exhaled breath of a driver during a breath-checking of the driver and a control module configured to check the intoxication state of the driver from the alcohol content measured by the sensor module to determine whether the breath-checking is complete and block an engine start when the breath-checking fails, wherein the control module includes a check unit displaying breath-checking guide information through a display unit and the check unit displays the breath-checking guide information based on an engine start input of the driver.

A method for automatically testing vehicle braking systems may include receiving, with a computing system, an input associated with performing an autonomous brake test of a vehicle braking system of a work vehicle and, in response to the input, autonomously releasing, with the computing system, a vehicle brake of the vehicle braking system. The method may further include autonomously engaging, with the computing system, a drive system of the work vehicle to initiate movement of the work vehicle and autonomously applying, with the computing system, the vehicle brake once the work vehicle has reached a predetermined speed or once the work vehicle has traveled a predetermined distance. Moreover, the method may include determining, with the computing system, whether the work vehicle has achieved a stopped condition upon application of the vehicle brake.

Implementations configure hologram interactions with vehicle passengers. A hologram manager can configure a hologram to interact with vehicle passengers, alleviate danger, and/or guide vehicle passengers to safety. The hologram manager can select an input modality for the hologram according to sensed conditions. For example, the hologram manager can determine a state of impairment for a passenger using sensed data and machine learning model(s). The hologram manager can then select an input modality according to the state of impairment. The generated hologram can be configured by the hologram manager to interact with the passenger using the selected input modality. For example, an instruction manager can generate a set of instructions using sensed and/or gathered information, and the hologram manager can configure the hologram to provide the instructions to the passenger using the input modality.

A method for increasing safety during the operation of a device. Multiple widgets are displayed on a graphical user interface. Each widget is assigned an operating function of the device; each operating function is selectable by selecting the corresponding widget via an input gesture of a user. Data relating to a current situation is detected, and it is determined whether increased attention is required in the current situation based on the data. If increased attention is required, the widgets are arranged such that each widget is assigned a simple input gesture which differs greatly from input gestures assigned to other displayed widgets in order to increase safety during the operation of the device.
