A method for performing driver performance comparisons is enabled, e.g., via in-vehicle capture of performance data from multiple vehicles or drivers. The performance comparisons are enabled via a geohash-based path analysis.

For automated driving, a driving system can be operated at least in a first automated driving mode with automated longitudinal and/or transverse guidance. A display device includes a driving mode display with a lighting unit. The driving mode display corresponds to a steering wheel display with a light strip structure for the steering wheel rim that can be lit up. A control device coupled to the display is also provided, for controlling the display. The control device is designed to control the driving mode display such that, upon activation of the first automated driving mode, the lighting unit lights up in a first lighting state with a specific luminous intensity, so as to indicate the activation of the first automated driving mode to the driver. The driving mode display is controlled such that, following the activation of the first automated driving mode, with the first driving mode still active, the lighting unit is operated in a dimmed lighting state as compared to the first lighting state, with a reduced luminous intensity in relation to the luminous intensity of the first lighting state.

A computing device in a vehicle can determine a plurality of lane change maneuvers based on the time to collision. The computing device can determine a field of safe travel to execute the lane change maneuvers without braking to a stop and display the field of safe travel to an occupant.

A display device for a vehicle includes a display portion that displays, toward at least one of an exterior or an interior of the vehicle, driving control information, the driving control information including at least one of first information, expressing how driving of the vehicle is being controlled, or second information, originating at the vehicle and being able to affect a traveling state of the vehicle.

A display apparatus including a display that has a screen; a wall portion (instrument panel) where the display is attached to an attachment portion; and a display control section that displays an information image showing information to be provided to a user (occupant) in a partial range of the screen, and displays a wall portion image having the same texture, color, or pattern as the wall portion, in a range of the screen in which the information image is not displayed.

A side head-up display system is provided. The side head-up display system has an image generator configured to emit a generated image to create a virtual image for viewing by a vehicle occupant. In some forms, a side display surface is disposed along a vehicle side of the motor vehicle, and the virtual image is viewable through the side display surface. In some versions, a controller is provided and configured to cause the generated image to be generated intermittently while the first motor vehicle is running so that the image generator is off at least part of the time while the motor vehicle is running. The controller may be configured to cause the image generator to create the generated image to show information about another vehicle outside of the motor vehicle, such as speed information and/or distance and location information.

A system includes a processor, and a memory module communicatively coupled to the processor, the memory module including one or more processor-readable instructions. When executed, the one or more processor-readable instructions cause the processor to receive a driving mode input signal, the driving mode input signal corresponding to one or more driving conditions, determine a corresponding driving mode based on the driving mode input signal, adjust a first driving mode to the corresponding driving mode, and generate a notification of the adjustment from the first driving mode to the corresponding driving mode.

The disclosure relates generally to an in-vehicle feedback system, and more particularly, to an in-vehicle device with a display or graphical interface that collects driving data and provides feedback based on the driving data. The system may comprise an in-vehicle device that includes a graphical user interface and a processor and a data collection device wirelessly connected to the in-vehicle device. The in-vehicle device may be configured to receive vehicle telematics data from the data collection device and the processor may process the telematics data in real time and cause the telematics data to be displayed on the graphical user interface. The graphical user interface may include a speed display and an acceleration display.

A display system in a vehicle, including: one or more displays; at least one sensor determining a user's line of sight; a controller determining an active zone and a non-active zone of the one or more displays based on the user's line of sight. The one or more displays are configured to operate the active zone at an enhanced level as compared to the non-active zone. There is further provided a controller configured to rank content displayed on one or more displays in a vehicle according to an attention score determined by at least one sensor configured to measure gaze of a user based on the user's line of sight; and a display system including the controller. One of the displays is selected to display the highest ranked content. There is also provided a method of operating one or more displays in a vehicle using the disclosed display systems.

A display device includes a first polarizing plate including a first polarization region and a first design region, a second polarizing plate including a second polarization region and a second design region, and a third polarizing plate including a third polarization region. A transmittance of light oscillating in a first direction of the polarization regions is maximized, and the design regions are transparent to light regardless of the oscillation direction of light. The first and second polarizing plates are arranged at a distance from each other along a path of the light, the first direction in the first polarization region and the first direction in the second polarization region are different from each other. The third polarizing plate is arranged such that the first direction in the third polarization region is positioned between the first direction in the first polarization region and the first direction in the second polarization region.
