The embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a vehicle system for handling vehicle feature information. The vehicle system monitors a current condition related to a vehicle, and compares the current condition with a predetermined condition. The vehicle system provides vehicle feature information to a user of the vehicle when the comparing indicates that the conditions are at least partly the same.

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.

The disclosure relates to a method for performing a correction of a direction of travel by a driver assistance system in a motor vehicle. The disclosure provides that a need for correcting a direction of travel is recognized by a control device of the driver assistance system in order to continue operating the motor vehicle within a currently traveled lane, at least one display symbol is output by an output apparatus to display the correction of the direction of travel to be performed and being performed, and the correction of the direction of travel is performed by controlling steering of the motor vehicle.

An avatar interface of a virtual assistant is presented to a user in a motor vehicle and a predefined set of accessible elements is provided to be selected by the user. The accessible elements may be operating functions and/or information data. When at least one user statement of the user is received over the avatar interface; a question-answering logic is operated in the virtual assistant for determining at least one of the accessible elements that the user requests by the at least one user statement; and the at least one identified accessible element is made available to the user.

A display control apparatus comprises a receiving unit that receives a steering assist amount in an electric power steering system of a vehicle and a measured value of a yaw rate sensor provided in the vehicle; a sign determination unit that determines a sign of the steering assist amount or a sign of the measured value of the yaw rate sensor received by the receiving unit; and a calculation unit that calculates a display steering assist index value to be displayed on a display device in the vehicle based on the sign determined by the sign determination unit, and the steering assist amount and the measured value of the yaw rate sensor received by the receiving unit.

A driver interface system includes a steering wheel assembly and a display. The steering wheel assembly includes a variable-function input device. The variable-function input device includes a plurality of assignable functions and a present function being one of the plurality of assignable functions. The display is configured to display an image corresponding to the present function of the variable-function input device. The driver interface system may include a plurality of display modes, and in response to a change in display mode, the driver interface system may change the present function in the plurality of assignable functions. The steering wheel assembly may also include a touchpad configured to receive a handwritten input, and the display may be configured to display an image corresponding to the handwritten input.

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.
