An integrated control apparatus for an autonomous vehicle includes: a movable control device corresponding to a portable device that performs steering, gear-shifting, acceleration, and braking of a vehicle by a user's control when a driving mode is shifted from an autonomous driving mode to a manual driving mode; and a fixed display device controlled in a touch manner to perform other functions other than steering, gear-shifting, acceleration, and braking, wherein a steering dial switch, a gear-shifting slide switch, an acceleration rotary switch, and a brake button switch are disposed in the movable control device and are manipulated differently.

A cleaning device for a surface, such as a windshield of a vehicle, includes an active positioning system and a cleaning head. The active positioning system is configured to deploy from a storage position hidden from view within a covered storage space and to position the cleaning head upon the windshield. The active positioning system includes a first extension member and a second extension member that move relative to one another to position the cleaning head, and also move the cleaning head across the windshield along a path. The cleaning head can have a brush portion configured to agitate debris from the window, and a drying portion configured to dry the window after cleaning. The cleaning device can be controlled via a touch-screen display in the vehicle, enabling a user to direct that specific portions of the windshield be cleaned as desired.

Autonomous vehicle methods and systems are described herein for communicating with an autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle to remotely control operation of the vehicle, to detect and remove unauthorized passengers, to deliver loads, to receive registration information for the vehicle, to provide accessibility information to the vehicle, and/or to receive sensor or other environmental data to integrate with an electronic game or other extended reality experience.

A control device controls an instrument configured to indicate a state of a moving body. An instrument has a first object having a line shape or band shape that is continuously visually recognized, a second object indicative of a present value of an output index that is an index relating to an output energy amount, and a third object indicative of a present value of a regeneration index that is an index relating to a regenerative energy amount. A partial region on the first object is formed with an output region in which the present value of the output index is indicated by a position on the region, and a region different from the output region on the first object is formed with a regeneration region in which the present value of the regeneration index is indicated by a position on the region.

A working machine has a display device including: an area display portion to display a setting area for setting the first priority value, the second priority value, and the third priority value; a first axis display portion including a first scale portion indicating the first priority value depending on a distance from the reference point; a second axis display portion including a second scale portion indicating the second priority value depending on a distance from the reference point; a third axis display portion including a third scale portion indicating the third priority value depending on a distance from the reference point; and a marker display portion to be indicated in a partial area corresponding to at least two of the first axis display portion, the second axis display portion, and the third axis display portion.

A vehicle control system includes a display unit configured to display an image, a vehicle control unit configured to perform a driving support by different degrees, and a display control unit configured to display an image indicating an action requested for an occupant at a display position corresponding to an image related to the degree of the driving support on the display unit.

An information presentation control apparatus includes a selection information obtainer and a presentation controller. The selection information obtainer obtains selection information representing a selection status of a plurality of recognizers that recognize different targets in surroundings of an autonomous vehicle. The presentation controller causes a presentation device mounted in the autonomous vehicle to present driving information in accordance with the selection information, the driving information being based on at least one of control that is executable by the autonomous vehicle and control that is not executable by the autonomous vehicle and being information about at least one of driving by an automated driving system of the autonomous vehicle and driving by a driver.

A method and apparatus for evaluating the driving of a vehicle performing a journey on a road network is disclosed. The method comprises determining a fuel usage rate and an engine speed of a vehicle, and determining when the vehicle is coasting based upon at least one of the fuel usage rate and the engine speed of the vehicle. An acceleration of the vehicle, when the vehicle is determined to be coasting, is compared with a predetermined reference acceleration, and an application of braking during the coasting is determined based on the result of the comparison. A method and apparatus is also disclosed for determining a score indicative of the relative amount of time for which the vehicle is coasting without braking during a journey.

A method for selecting an operating mode for a vehicle which has at least two operating modes. Graphics data of a graphic user interface are generated and output, wherein the graphic user interface includes a background display and at least two selectable control buttons, wherein the control buttons are each assigned to an operating mode of the vehicle. A selection of a control button is detected, and a control signal is generated and transmitted to a control device of the vehicle as a function of the operating mode assigned to the selected control button. The background display includes a display of a vehicle surface, wherein the displayed vehicle surface is formed as a function of the operating mode which is selected at the current time. Also disclosed is a system for selecting an operating mode for a vehicle.

A stop control device includes: a stop intention detection unit 170 that detects a stop intention of a driver; an unable-to-drive state detection unit 172 that detects that the driver is in an unable-to-drive state; a stop control unit 176 that performs automatic stop control in which a vehicle is decelerated and stopped, based on whether the stop intention is detected by the stop intention detection unit and/or whether the unable-to-drive state is detected by the unable-to-drive state detection unit; and a state display unit 174 that shows, on a display 144, information on whether it has been determined to activate the automatic stop control, a state of the control, and/or whether it has been determined to cancel the control.
