10814901 · 2020-10-27 · ·

A driver station of a vehicle including a support structure and a module that has a central part, a steering wheel and an electronic communication interface element. The central part is connected to the support structure. The steering wheel and the electronic communication interface element are arranged on either side of the central part along a main direction. The module is able to be moved relative to the support structure between a first position, in which the steering wheel is provided to be across from a driver, and a second position, in which the electronic communication interface element is provided to be across from the driver.

AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES AND METHODS OF USING SAME

A vehicle includes one or more sensors arranged on at least one of a dashboard, a roof, and a center console of the vehicle, or one or more image capturing devices for capturing one or more images from a left side and a right side of the vehicle, an electronic control unit (ECU) configured to communicate with the one or more sensors or the one or more image capturing devices, and at least one of a morphing surface, a windshield display, and one or more displays configured to be controlled by the ECU, where the one or more sensors are arranged under a black panel surface.

SYSTEM FOR PROMOTING PASSENGER TRUST AND MITIGATING MOTION SICKNESS IN A VEHICLE
20200331386 · 2020-10-22 ·

A system for promoting passenger trust and to mitigate motion sickness in a vehicle may include a first sensor structured to detect an operational status of the vehicle, a processor operably coupled to the first sensor; and a subliminal sensory system operably coupled to the processor. The processor may be structured to control the subliminal sensory system to subliminally provide information about the operational status of the vehicle to a passenger.

WORKING VEHICLE

A working vehicle includes a steering handle, a vehicle body to travel by manual steering via the steering handle or automatic steering for the steering handle based on a scheduled traveling line, a setting switch to switch between valid and invalid, a setting mode to set at least the automatic steering before the automatic steering is started, and a display including a driving display portion to display driving information of the vehicle body during traveling. When the setting mode is switched to be valid, the display changes a displaying state of the driving display portion to another different displaying state different from the displaying state where the setting mode is invalid.

CONTEXTUAL AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE SUPPORT THROUGH WRITTEN INTERACTION
20200331489 · 2020-10-22 ·

An autonomous vehicle including a sensor system that outputs a sensor signal indicative of a condition of the autonomous vehicle. The vehicle also includes a user interface device with a display. A computing system determines, based upon a profile of the passenger, that support is to be provided textually to the passenger when the support is provided to the passenger. The computing system further detects occurrence of an event that has been identified as potentially causing discomfort to the passenger. The computing system yet further sets a predefined support message defined in an account corresponding to the event maintained in a database prior to occurrence of the event as a support message to be presented to the passenger. The computing system additionally causes the display to present the support message textually, wherein the textual support message solicits feedback from the passenger of the autonomous vehicle.

DISPLAY APPARATUS AND DISPLAY CONTROL APPARATUS
20200331488 · 2020-10-22 ·

A display apparatus mounted on a vehicle may comprise: a display device that is placed in a vehicle compartment of a vehicle configured to perform a cooperative driving mode in which a manual operation by a driver and an autonomous operation by an autonomous driving function cooperate with each other to control a driving of the vehicle; an acquisition section that is configured to acquire a degree of restriction applied to an autonomous operation torque controlled by the autonomous driving function in the cooperative driving mode in response to set of the degree of restriction according to a manual operation amount input by the driver; and a display control device that causes the display device to display a cooperative ratio of the manual operation and the autonomous operation in the cooperative driving mode based on the degree of restriction.

Apparatus for controlling display of vehicle, system having the same, and method thereof

A vehicle display control apparatus for controlling at least one display of a vehicle may include: a processor configured to: calculate a display control resource distribution ratio of the at least one display based on at least one of: an autonomous driving state of the vehicle, a gaze direction of a user, and a characteristic of content displayed by the at least one display, and control operation of the at least one display by allocating a control resource to each of the at least one display based on the calculated display control resource distribution ratio; and a storage configured to store the calculated display control resource distribution ratio.

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR STAGING A CHANGE IN OPERATING MODE OF A TRANSPORTATION VEHICLE
20200326782 · 2020-10-15 · ·

A method and system for enacting a change of operating modalities of a transportation vehicle. The method includes at least one display device, which at least partially includes a screen, operated in the transportation vehicle. The at least one display device has at least two operating modes for operator control by a user. A triggering signal to the at least one display device is automatically provided. The triggering signal is triggered by at least one trigger event, is provided directly or indirectly by the transportation vehicle, and triggers a change from a first operating mode to a second operating mode. The change is at least partially indicated to the user by at least one operator alerting signal.
