Provided is a vehicle capable of: acquiring an image of a road in front of a vehicle in an autonomous driving mode; recognizing a lane line, a subject lane, and an obstacle on the acquired image of the road; determining whether the recognized obstacle is in a stationary state based on obstacle information detected by an obstacle detector; acquiring, if the obstacle in the stationary state exists on at least one of two subject lane lines constituting the subject lane, a width of involvement of the lane line crossed by the obstacle; determining whether keeping of travelling on the subject lane is to be performed based on the acquired width of involvement; performing a deflection control within the subject lane to avoid the obstacle in the stationary state if it is determined that the keeping of travelling on the subject lane is to be performed; and performing control of departure from the subject lane or deceleration control if it is determined that the keeping of travelling on the subject lane is not to be performed.

A display apparatus for displaying an image includes a semitransparent carrier element, and a film provided on the semitransparent carrier element for at least regionally displaying the image. The film incorporates electrical components of the display apparatus. Further, the display apparatus can be included in a motor vehicle.

A gesture interface system of a vehicle is provided. The gesture interface system includes a posture detector configured to detect a posture of a user, a gesture detector configured to detect a gesture of the user, an actuator configured to adjust a monitoring region of the gesture detector, and a controller configured to control the actuator based on the posture of the user, the posture being detected by the posture detector.

Embodiments are directed towards providing a system that presents customized content to a user of an automobile based on what the user of the automobile is looking at. A first camera captures images of the user of the interior of the automobile, and a second camera captures images of a scene that the user is viewing. The images are analyzed to determine if the user is looking at, or not looking at, an object in the scene. If the user is looking at such an object, content associated with the object is selected and presented to the user.

There is provided a driving assistance device. An imaging unit is configured to acquire an image of another vehicle running behind one vehicle which is equipped with the driving assistance device. A tailgating determining unit is configured to determine whether the another vehicle is tailgating the one vehicle on the basis of the image acquired by the imaging unit. A continuity determining unit is configured to determine whether tailgating determined by the tailgating determining unit has been performed continuously. An information providing unit configured to provide a driver of the one vehicle with information on the another vehicle, if the continuity determining unit determines that the tailgating has been performed continuously.

A virtual mirror arrangement, in particular for a vehicle, including at least one screen arranged in the interior of a vehicle for displaying a detection region of at least one camera, where an actuator connected to the camera is controllable by a movement of the display. The disclosure further relates to a method for adjusting a virtual mirror.

Embodiments include methods, systems, and computer program products for remediating a color vision deficiency. Aspects include receiving a user profile. Aspects also include receiving a real time location image including a plurality of objects. Aspects also include determining an image context. Aspects also include generating a situational notification based at least in part upon the user profile, the real time location image, and the image context.

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.

A passive infra-red guidance system and method for augmenting operation of a vehicle on a roadway includes at least one forward-looking infra-red imaging sensor mounted on the vehicle in operative communication with an image processor tied into the vehicle's operational system. The system identifies the presence of one or more melting agents arranged on the roadway using thermal imaging to detect a thermal contrast between the portion(s) of the roadway surface treated with the one or more melting agents and the untreated portion(s) of the roadway surface, and then determines the centerline of the travel lane in which the vehicle is travelling based on the identified melting agent(s). The system then compares the determined centerline of the travel lane with the actual position of the vehicle and identifies any adjustment needed for the vehicle's position based on the comparison.

A vehicular control system includes a forward viewing camera disposed at an in-cabin side of a windshield of a vehicle and viewing forward of the vehicle. Road curvature of a road along which the vehicle is traveling is determined responsive at least in part to processing by an image processor of image data captured by the camera. Responsive at least in part to processing of captured image data, a traffic lane of the road along which the vehicle is traveling is determined. Responsive at least in part to processing of captured image data, another vehicle present on the road and forward of the vehicle may be detected. Responsive at least in part to processing of captured image data, the system may determine that the detected other vehicle is travelling in a traffic lane to the left or to the right of the traffic lane along which the vehicle is traveling.
