The warning indicator may be configured to illuminate at least one illumination bar of the plurality of illumination bars based on a warning issued by a vehicle system of the vehicle. The driver may be able to see the warning indicator in his/her peripheral vision while looking forward while driving. Associated vehicles including the warning indicator are provided. Associated methods are also provided.

A control device for controlling a vehicle is configured to identify a risk factor present in surroundings of the vehicle and a direction of the risk factor with respect to the vehicle, display, on the display device, risk information indicating the direction of the risk factor with a first emphasis degree, and take a guidance action using the steering operation element. The guidance action guides a driver of the vehicle to operate the steering operation element to avoid the risk factor. When the guidance action using the steering operation element is taken, avoidance information indicating an advancing direction of the vehicle to avoid the risk factor is displayed on the display device, and the risk information is displayed with a second emphasis degree lower than the first emphasis degree, or the risk information is not displayed.

A system and method of monitoring the operation of a work vehicle having a work implement and using a display device with a display. The method includes displaying on the display device a display field; displaying within the display field a graphical user interface including an application launcher icon; launching a run page within the graphical user interface upon selecting the application launcher icon; and displaying within the run page a first overlay, a second overlay, and a header ribbon. The first overlay and second overlays covers a first portion and second portion of the run page, respectively, with a header positioned adjacent to one the overlays and a predetermined application icon cluster. Upon selecting icon from predetermined application icon cluster, the display field displays a third running application covering the first section, and automatically updates the second section or the predetermined application icon cluster.

Disclosed herein a user interface device includes a levitating knob configured to detect an input by a user's manipulation; a knob holder configured to be held when the levitating knob does not levitate; a lifting driver provided below the knob holder so that the levitating knob rises from the knob holder and levitates; and an anti-separation section disposed to be spaced apart from the levitating knob by a predetermined distance so that the raised levitating knob does not deviate from an upper side of the knob holder; and wherein the levitating knob is provided with a first magnet, the lift driver is provided with a second magnet arranged to face the first magnet, the second magnet having the same pole as the first magnet on facing surface thereagainst, the lift driver is configured to levitate or hold the levitating knob by driving up or down the second magnet.

An object detection system for a vehicle includes a processor and a memory communicably coupled to the processor. The memory stores instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to receive a priority assignment set by an occupant of a vehicle. The priority assignment corresponds to a customization of at least one warning characteristic. The at least one warning characteristic includes a distance threshold. The instructions also cause the processor to detect an object in an external environment of the vehicle and apply the priority assignment to the object. The instructions further cause the processor to issue a warning according to the at least one warning characteristic. According to the distance threshold, the warning is issued when a distance from the vehicle to the object meets the distance threshold.

A method for the performance-enhancing driver assistance of a road vehicle on a track comprising the steps of: determining, in use, the current position and the current orientation of the road vehicle on the track by means of a tracking device; identifying an optimal trajectory in relation to the conformation of the track and/or to the road vehicle; determining, in use, a relative position of the road vehicle with respect to the optimal trajectory by identifying a longitudinal relative position on the optimal trajectory; suggesting to the driver, by means of one or more colours emitted or assumed by a light interface device, depending on the longitudinal relative position, one or more actions to be performed to vary a longitudinal dynamic of the road vehicle in order to perform a mission optimising the performance on the track.

An embodiment of a smart notification device for a vehicle configured for autonomous driving, includes an occupant recognition unit configured to sense occupant state information of an occupant in the vehicle, a vehicle recognition unit configured to sense vehicle state information and driving information of the vehicle, a memory storing code, and a processor configured to access the memory and execute the code. The code can include instructions for the processor to collect the occupant state information, the vehicle state information, and the driving information, set a risk of collision based on the collected information, determine the set risk of collision based on a preset risk level, and generate a risk object corresponding the risk of collision. The device of an embodiment includes an augmented reality graphics system configured to project the risk object onto a glass of the vehicle based on a determination result obtained by the determining.

A control device for a vehicle controls notification using a notification unit included in a steering input unit of the vehicle operates in an operation state selected from a plurality of states. The plurality of states include a first state and a second state that each provide drive assist. Map information including information that is not used in the first state is used in the second state. The second state is based on a condition that a driver of the vehicle grips the steering input unit. The notification control unit does not perform notification using the notification unit while the travel control unit is operating in the first state, and performs notification using the notification unit while the travel control unit is operating in the second state.

The action schedule item creation ECU creates action schedule items demanded of an ego vehicle capable of switching between autonomous driving and manual driving. The HUD and the meter display are provided inside a cabin of the ego vehicle. The display control ECU displays the action schedule items created by the action schedule item creation ECU on the HUD and the meter display, and emphasizes display of action schedule items to be performed by manual driving compared to display of action schedule items to be performed by autonomous driving.
