A vehicle information output device (100) includes an output unit (110) configured to output information to inside of a vehicle, a starting unit (104) configured to execute starting processing in a case that the power supply is turned on, a communication unit (120) configured to communicate with an external device via a network, a communication control unit (134) configured to acquire output information stored in the external device via the communication unit, and an output control unit (136) configured to cause the output unit to output the output information acquired by the communication control unit before starting processing by the starting unit is completed.

A control apparatus for controlling a vehicle includes a travel control unit configured to perform travel control of the vehicle and a guidance unit capable of providing guidance relating to the travel control. When an operation of the travel control unit is controlled by an operation apparatus, the guidance unit determines whether to provide guidance on a basis of a past operation state of at least one of the travel control unit or the guidance unit.

A display device of a construction machine includes a control unit and a display unit. The display unit displays a display screen having the second display area which is a guidance display area for providing guidance on the operation contents with respect to the display device. The control unit functions as a display control unit that controls the display unit to change a display mode of the second display area according to the operation state of a cutoff lever which is a safety operation member of the construction machine.

An autonomous vehicle that moves automatically without any driver's manipulation. The autonomous vehicle includes a vehicle body including a deck, and an action-inducing device for inducing an action of a person who is a user of the autonomous vehicle or a non-user around the autonomous vehicle. The action-inducing device including an image-capturing device for capturing the person, and an information presentation device for presenting action-inducing information, to thereby induce the person to take the action.

There is provided a passenger support device including (i) an informing portion that sets behavior items to be performed by a passenger by a time a vehicle arrives at a destination and sets an order of performing the behavior items, the informing portion informing the passenger of the behavior items to be performed based on the order, (ii) an action recognition portion that recognizes an action of the passenger performing the behavior items, and (iii) an action support portion that supports the action of the passenger performing the behavior items, based on each of the behavior items and the action of the passenger recognized by the action recognition portion.

Techniques for communicating feedback to passengers of autonomous vehicles regarding reasons for actions taken by autonomous vehicles to build trust with passengers are described herein. For instance, an autonomous vehicle may associate various objects with symbols and/or predicates while traversing a path to evaluate Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) formulae. Events along the path may require the autonomous vehicle to perform an action. The vehicle may determine to communicate the event and/or action to the passenger to provide a reason as to why the autonomous vehicle took the action, based on evaluation of the LTL formulae. In some examples, the autonomous vehicle may communicate with passengers via one or more of visual cues, auditory cues, and/or haptic cues. In this way, autonomous vehicles may build trust with passengers by reassuring and informing passengers of reasons for taking actions either before, during, or after the action is taken.

An electric vehicle display system may include a battery, an interface configured to present at least one selectable icon configured to control a battery powered vehicle feature, and a controller programmed to, in response to state-of-charge (SOC) data indicating that a trip range exceeds a possible driving range, update the selectable icon to indicate a suggested adjustment to the vehicle feature to decrease power demand of the feature.

A passenger communication lighting display on or adjacent a touch bar on a passenger door of a transit vehicle comprises a display that can be controlled to display multiple colors continuous or blinking, and a control means causing the display to be dark when the door is closed, the display to be a first color when the operator has authorized opening, the display to flash a second color when the passenger has requested the door be opened, the display to be blinking the second color when the door is opening, the display to be continuously the second color when the door is resting in the open position, and the display to be blinking a third color while the door is closing.

A method for preselecting and/or selecting a menu, a submenu, a function, or a function value of an electronic device. The menu, the submenu, the function, or the function value is preselectable and/or selectable using a touchpad with a first body part and an audible feedback is output table. The audible feedback is activated by an additional touch of the touchpad at any point with a second body part.

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.
