A speed display device connected to at least a portion of a vehicle, the speed display device including a speed sensor to detect a speed level of the vehicle, and a display unit disposed on at least a portion of the speed sensor to project the speed level of the vehicle on a window of the vehicle.

A vehicular display device includes: a processor, wherein the processor is configured to: acquire vehicle speed information regarding a vehicle; and display a line image extending toward a vehicle front side and having a base end in a vicinity of the vehicle by displaying the line image in a predetermined display region so as to appear in front of the vehicle, and perform emphasized display further toward a leading end side of the line image as the vehicle speed increases.

A vehicle control device includes a processor installed at a vehicle configured to execute driving assistance control. The processor is configured to cause display of an other-vehicle image generated based on surrounding information including information related to at least one other-vehicle traveling in surroundings of the vehicle, at a display device provided at the vehicle. The other-vehicle image represents the other-vehicle with a same color as that of the other-vehicle.

Systems and methods for implementing an emotional human-machine interface (HMI). A vehicle may comprise a display for presenting an emotional HMI. The emotional HMI may be determined by determining a first occupant of the vehicle, collecting first biometric data for the first occupant using at least the one or more sensors, determining, using an emotion engine of the vehicle, a first emotional state of the first occupant, determining a second occupant of the vehicle, determining, using the emotion engine of the vehicle, a second emotional state of the second occupant, and determining a graphical interface comprising at least a first color scheme based at least in part on the first emotional state and a second color scheme based at least in part on the second emotional state.

Various implementations include a light bar system for a steering wheel of a vehicle that includes a high intensity light source, a light diffusing layer, and an outer lens. For example, in certain implementations, the light diffusing layer is disposed between a plurality of high intensity light emitting diodes (LEDs) and an outer lens, and the light diffusing layer causes the light from the LEDs to appear as a continuous stream of light across a length of the lens and provides sufficiently bright lighting to warn or communicate with the driver in various ambient lighting conditions. In certain implementations, the outer lens is colored to blend in with the rest of the steering wheel when the LEDs are not activated.

A vehicular display apparatus, when a host vehicle follows a preceding vehicle in front, displays a highlighting indication used to highlight the preceding vehicle over the preceding vehicle in a superimposing manner. The vehicular display apparatus includes a preceding vehicle detector that detects the preceding vehicle travelling in front of the host vehicle, a preceding vehicle distance calculator that calculates a distance between the preceding vehicle detected by the preceding vehicle detector and the host vehicle, a highlighting indication setter that sets the highlighting indication to be displayed over the preceding vehicle in a superimposing manner, and causes a highlight level of the highlighting indication to be higher when the distance between the preceding vehicle and the host vehicle calculated by the preceding vehicle distance calculator is long than when the distance is short, and a head-up display.

An indicator assembly is disclosed having a first light source and a second light source positioned relative to a surface. An overlap region may be formed between the first light source and second light source depending upon the relative intensity of the light sources, which may be used to convey information to a user and/or to provide an alternative visual indicator of a gauge.

A method is provided for selecting, by a driver, a road user, the road user being an evaluation object of a function of a driver assistance system of a motor vehicle, using at least one display device which displays the road user. After a first operating action is carried out, a search function is activated in which at least a subset of the shown road users is individually marked on the display device in a sequence containing all road users. When a second operating action is carried out, or after a predetermined first period of time, the currently-marked road user is selected as the evaluation object for the function.

The invention relates to an automated driving system for a motor vehicle including a visual communication interface (30) intended for informing the driver about the state of said driving system and comprising a luminous indicator (31A, 31B) capable of emitting luminous signals on the steering wheel of said vehicle; characterized in that said visual communication interface (30) also includes a heads-up display capable of displaying other luminous signals (33) in the field of view of the driver beyond the dashboard of said vehicle.

An onboard operation apparatus includes an operation panel having an operation face touch-operated on by a fingertip of a user, an output part outputting an operation signal that corresponds to an operation element touch-operated, a vibration instrument causing the user to feel vibration, a position sensor detecting the touch position by a fingertip, and a vibration control part controlling the actuation of the vibration instrument. The onboard operation apparatus further includes a trace calculation part calculating the movement trace of a touch position, and a prediction part predicting whether the touch position reaches a second operation element within a predetermined time. The vibration control part has an entering vibration control part and a holding control part.
