INFORMATION PRESENTATION DEVICE AND INFORMATION PRESENTATION METHOD
An information presentation device, mounted on a vehicle for which automatic evacuation control functions when it is difficult for a driver to continue driving the vehicle, and presenting information to an occupant of the vehicle except the driver by a display in a display area that is visually recognizable by the occupant, includes: an operation information acquisition unit that acquires operation information of the automatic evacuation control; and a display generation unit that generates an occupant notification display that is displayed in the display area to notify information relating to the automatic evacuation control when the automatic evacuation control is in operation. The occupant notification display includes: an explanatory image that shows an explanation of a process executed currently; and a progress image that indicates a degree of progress in the automatic evacuation control.
Vehicle control system and method
A motor vehicle control system that includes a first user-operable transmission selector for selecting a transmission operating mode and a user-operable gear selector, such as paddle input controls. The gear selector is operable in a first functional mode to select between a plurality of forward direction gear ratios. The gear selector is also operable in a second functional mode to select between a forward direction and reverse direction. This allows a user to use the gear selector to control travel in forward and reverse directions.
Lane change advisor
A computing device in a vehicle, programmed to pilot a vehicle by adaptive cruise control and determine a lane change maneuver based on the adaptive cruise control and determined traffic in an adjacent lane. The computing device can display a prompt to an occupant based on the lane change maneuver.
Operating unit comprising a touch-sensitive operating area
An operating unit includes a touch-sensitive operating area and control unit. The control unit determines an activation location on the operating area from the information relating to the touched regions. If the activation location is in a predefined field, the control unit performs a function assigned to the field. The control unit determines the activation location from a position on or in the region of a boundary line bounding a fingertip and that is at the front in the direction of movement of the finger on the surface of the operating area, only when a determined speed of movement of a course of the regions of the touched operating exceeds a predefined limit value. Otherwise, the activation location is determined from an area centroid of all regions of the operating area which have been touched by the finger at a point in time.
PACKAGE DELIVERY GUIDANCE AND ASSISTANCE SYSTEM USING VEHICLE SENSOR DATA
Systems, devices, and methods are provided for package delivery guidance and assistance. A vehicle may comprise one or more sensors. A processing unit of the vehicle may determine, based on vehicle data obtained from the one or more sensors, that the vehicle is in a first state, determine that the first state corresponds to a first sub-task of the plurality of sub-tasks, determine a first graphical interface for performance of the first sub-task, present the first graphical interface on a first display screen of the at vehicle, responsive to additional vehicle data obtained from the one or more sensors indicating that the vehicle is in a second state: determine that the second state corresponds to a second sub-task of the plurality of sub-tasks, and update the first display screen with a second graphical interface that is for performance of the second sub-task.
Vehicle abnormality handling support device
An abnormality handling support device includes: a touch panel display that is able to display an image; and a driving support ECU configured to determine whether a display condition including that an abnormal condition indicating that a driver has difficulty driving a vehicle while the vehicle is traveling is satisfied is satisfied, and to cause the touch panel display to display a support image that is registered beforehand when the driving support ECU determines that the display condition is satisfied.
Display device for vehicle
A display device for a vehicle includes a flexible display configured to be mounted in the vehicle. The display device is configured to extend and retract the flexible display to thereby change a size of a screen area of the flexible display. The display device may include a sensor configured to detect the size of the screen area, and a controller configured to, based on the size of the screen area, control a display state of information output through the flexible display.
Assistance to a driver of a mobility vehicle for learning features of the mobility vehicle
Informational system for a mobility vehicle, comprising an automotive user interface configured to allow a driver and other occupants of the mobility vehicle to interact with the informational system; and automotive storage and processing resources designed to cooperate with the automotive user interface to implement an informational functionality designed to provide the driver of the mobility vehicle with notifications aimed at promoting learning of features of the mobility vehicle. The automotive storage and processing resources are further designed to monitor exploitation of features of the mobility vehicle, and to suggest to the driver exploitation of those features of the mobility vehicle that are seldom exploited or completely unexploited by the driver.
Electric vehicle and control method thereof
An electric vehicle and a control method of the electric vehicle are provided. The electric vehicle includes a battery, a charger configured to supply power of the battery to a user terminal, an input configured to receive a destination from a user, and a controller configured to calculate an estimated amount of power consumed for traveling of the electric vehicle and an estimated amount of power consumed for supplying power to the user terminal in a case that the electric vehicle travels to the destination. The controller is configured to determine a charging method of the charger based on a current amount of charge of the battery, the estimated amount of power consumed for travelling of the electric vehicle, and the estimated amount of power consumed for supplying power to the user terminal.
DISPLAYING VEHICLE FEATURES
A computer that includes a processor and memory storing instructions executable by the processor. The computer may be programmed to: determine feature- selection data; determine that a mobile device is within a proximity threshold of a vehicle; and in response to the determinations, control a vehicle display in accordance with the feature-selection data.
