A display unit of the present invention includes a first display (head-up display) for displaying various information by irradiating a surface to be irradiated with video light and a control part for controlling the first display. The control part controls to display information on an inter-vehicle distance (bar graph), information on an inter-intersection (digital numerical value), an intersection image, and an arrow.

In a display unit of the present invention, an instrument frame body (speedometer frame body, power meter frame body) are changed to a map frame body in a process that the road image is stepwise reduced and display to the map image by switching from a road display state to a map display state. Further, the map frame body is changed to the instrument frame body in a process that the map image is stepwise enlarged and displayed to the road image by switching from the map display state to the road display state.

An on-board computing system for a vehicle is configured to generate and selectively present a set of autonomous-switching directions within a navigation user interface for the operator of the vehicle. The autonomous-switching directions can inform the operator regarding changes to the vehicle's mode of autonomous operation. The on-board computing system can generate the set of autonomy-switching directions based on the vehicle's route and other information associated with the route, such as autonomous operation permissions (AOPs) for route segments that comprise the route. The on-board computing device can selectively present the autonomy-switching directions based on locations associated with anticipated changes in autonomous operations determined for the route of the vehicle, the vehicle's location, and the vehicle's speed. In addition, the on-board computing device is further configured to present audio alerts associated with the autonomy-switching directions to the operator of the vehicle.

A glass substrate includes a pair of main surfaces including a first main surface and a second main surface opposed to the first main surface; an edge surface arranged along a direction orthogonal to the pair of main surfaces; and a connecting surface arranged between the first main surface and the edge surface. The connecting surface has a plurality of pores. A difference between a 50% particle diameter of the pores in a portion 20 m distant from the first main surface and a 50% particle diameter in a portion 20 m distant from the edge surface is 10 m or less.

An image processing device includes: an identification unit that identifies whether an attribute of a first light spot included in image information capturing a scenery in front of a vehicle is a facility related to a road, by referring to first feature information on the first light spot calculated by referring to the image information; and a storage unit that stores the first feature information when the attribute of the first light spot is identified as a facility related to the road. The identification unit identifies whether an attribute of a second light spot included in the image information is a facility related to the road, by using the first feature information stored.

A system for an adaptive touch user interface includes a visual display and an adaptive touch-input interface. The visual display is configured to display one or more interactive elements thereon in accordance with a software application that receives user input in connection with displayed information. The touch-input interface is configured to receive user input and communicate the user input to the software application. The touch-input interface also has a surface profile that is adaptable in connection with the display of the one or more interactive elements.

During a journey using a motor vehicle, a virtual environment is displayed by use of a display device and additionally a virtual representation of a route layout located in front of the motor vehicle is also displayed by use of the display device within the virtual environment. The display device may be used in the motor vehicle.

Techniques are disclosed for creating and presenting a graphical user interface for display of autonomous vehicle behaviors. The techniques include determining a trajectory of a vehicle operating in a real-world environment. Sensors of the vehicle obtain sensor data representing an object in the real-world environment. A maneuver of the vehicle to avoid a collision with the object is predicted based on the sensor data and the trajectory of the vehicle. It is determined that a passenger comfort level of a passenger riding in the vehicle will decrease based on the maneuver of the vehicle. The passenger comfort level is measured by passenger sensors of the vehicle. A graphical user interface is generated including representations of the vehicle, the object, and a graphic, text, or a symbol alerting the passenger of the predicted maneuver. The graphical user interface is transmitted to a display device of the vehicle.

Methods and apparatus to provide accident avoidance information to passengers of autonomous vehicles are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a safety analyzer to determine an autonomously controlled vehicle is in a safe situation at a first point in time and in a dangerous situation at a second point in time. The example apparatus also includes a user interface generator to: generate user interface data to define content for a user interface to be displayed via a screen, the user interface to include a graphical representation of the vehicle, the user interface to graphically indicate the vehicle is in the safe situation at the first point in time; and modify the user interface data so that the user interface graphically indicates the vehicle is in the dangerous situation at the second point in time.

A vehicle control device includes a communication unit configured to receive location information of a vehicle, a sensing unit, a display unit, and at least one processor that is configured to determine, based on the location information received by the communication unit, that the vehicle has entered an area within a predetermined distance from an intersection at which the vehicle changes a travel direction according to a preset route information. The at least one processor is further configured to detect an object located around the intersection through the sensing unit, and to control the display unit to output a route to an entrance of the intersection based on information related to the object located around the intersection.
