A work vehicle allows an operator to easily check the vertical position and the angle of bucket. The work vehicle includes a front loader with a bucket, and freely raises/lowers and rotates the bucket. The work vehicle comprises a display disposed near an operator seat. The display is configured to display vertical position information and angle information of the bucket.

A control device as a driving support device includes a processor configured such that the processor receives respective voice output instructions from an automatic driving device and a car navigation device provided in a vehicle, and when respective timings to output voice from the automatic driving device and from the car navigation device overlap with each other, the processor performs a control to display a content corresponding to a content of the voice output from the automatic driving device for a longer time than a time to display the content of the voice in a case where the timings do not overlap with each other.

An autonomous vehicle including a sensor system that outputs a sensor signal indicative of a condition of the autonomous vehicle. The vehicle also includes a user interface device with a display. A computing system determines, based upon a profile of the passenger, that support is to be provided textually to the passenger when the support is provided to the passenger. The computing system further detects occurrence of an event that has been identified as potentially causing discomfort to the passenger. The computing system yet further sets a predefined support message defined in an account corresponding to the event maintained in a database prior to occurrence of the event as a support message to be presented to the passenger. The computing system additionally causes the display to present the support message textually, wherein the textual support message solicits feedback from the passenger of the autonomous vehicle.

An autonomous vehicle including a sensor system that outputs a sensor signal indicative of a condition of the autonomous vehicle. The vehicle also includes a communication system including a speaker. Based upon a profile of the passenger, the autonomous vehicle can determine that support is to be provided audibly to the passenger when the support is provided to the passenger. Moreover, the autonomous vehicle can detect occurrence of an event that has been identified as potentially causing discomfort to the passenger based upon the sensor signal output by the sensor system. Responsive to detecting the occurrence of the event, and in accordance with the profile of the passenger, the autonomous vehicle can cause the speaker to output an audible support message. Content of the audible support message is based on the detected event, and the audible support message solicits feedback from the passenger of the autonomous vehicle.

An autonomous vehicle including a sensor system that outputs a sensor signal indicative of a condition of the autonomous vehicle. The vehicle also includes a user interface device with a display. A computing system determines, based upon a profile of the passenger, that support is to be provided pictorially to the passenger when the support is provided to the passenger. The computing system further detects occurrence of an event that has been identified as potentially causing discomfort to the passenger. The computing system yet further sets a predefined pictorial support message defined in an account corresponding to the event maintained in a database prior to occurrence of the event as a pictorial support message to be presented to the passenger. The computing system additionally causes the display to present the pictorial support message, wherein the pictorial support message solicits feedback from the passenger of the autonomous vehicle.

A method to determine a function and status of a human machine interface, HMI, of a vehicle is provided. The method includes receiving, by a processor device of a computing system, a captured image of at least one mechanically actuatable HMI of the vehicle. The method includes determining a target mechanically actuatable HMI of the vehicle in the captured image. The method includes obtaining HMI information about the target mechanically actuatable HMI. The method includes determining, from the vehicle, a current mechanical actuation status of the target mechanically actuatable HMI. The method includes generating an augmented reality image having the HMI information and the current mechanical actuation status of the mechanically actuatable HMI. The method includes sending the augmented reality image to a display device.

A vehicle traveling support control apparatus includes a traveling environment determining portion that determines a traveling environment of a vehicle, a support device determining portion that determines a serviceable traveling support device from one or more traveling support devices mounted in the vehicle in accordance with the traveling environment determined by the traveling environment determining portion, a presentation portion that presents support guidance of the serviceable traveling support device, and a control portion that controls the presentation portion to present the support guidance of the serviceable traveling support device based on use frequency of the serviceable traveling support device determined by the support device determining portion.

A vehicle includes an interface having an electromagnetic transmitter and operable to receive tactile user input for control of a system of the vehicle. The vehicle includes a controller configured to modulate output having ultraviolet or infrared spectrum wavelength of the electromagnetic transmitter at a receiver capture rate to encode data into the output describing the control interface. The modulated output is responsive to a request.

An external vehicle notification information system may include a projector illuminating generated information using a light source, a lens transmitting the information, a reflector reflecting partial information of the information toward the lens, and a screen displaying the partial information transmitted from the lens.

A system for controlling operation of a vehicle, the system comprising: a voice synthesizer unit for providing voice communication to a driver; a speech recognition unit for receiving speech from a driver; a breath alcohol sensor unit for detecting a presence of alcohol on the breath of a driver and providing a signal representative of the same; a vehicle operation interface for controlling operation of the vehicle; and a controller for (i) selectively causing the voice synthesizer unit to speak to the driver, (ii) operating the speech recognition unit to detect speech by the driver, (iii) receiving the signal from the breath alcohol sensor unit, and (iv) depending on the signal received from the breath alcohol sensor unit, providing a command to the vehicle operation interface to control operation of the vehicle.
