Provided are a projection type display device, a control method of a projection type display device, and a control program of a projection type display device, capable of being continuously used even in a case where a vehicle vibrates, and performing optimal display depending on the vibration. An HUD 100 includes a projection display section 50 that projects image light obtained by spatially modulating light emitted from a light source onto a combiner 12 to display a virtual image, a first vibration detector 61 that detects a first vibration of the combiner 12, a second vibration detector 62 that detects a second vibration of the projection display section 50, a third vibration detector 63 that detects a third vibration of the projection display section 50 with respect to the combiner 12 on the basis of the first vibration and the second vibration, and a display controller 64 that controls the image to be displayed by the projection display section 50. The display controller 64 changes a display format of content to be displayed by the projection display section 50 on the basis of the third vibration.

A driver assistance module is designed to be fixed on an automobile steering wheel. The driver assistance module includes a first driver information device and an infrared radiation source arranged to illuminate the driver and forming part of a second information device.

A head up display arrangement is fix a motor vehicle having a human driver. A light source emits a light field including a first color such that the light field is visible to the driver as a virtual image. A light sensor detects a second color that is visible to the driver in a forward direction of the vehicle in an ambient environment outside of the vehicle. An electronic processor is communicatively coupled to both the light source and the light sensor. The processor changes the first color in the light field to a third color. The third color is dependent upon the second color.

A passive infra-red guidance system and method for augmenting operation of an autonomous 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 determines the left and right edges of the roadway using thermal imaging, and then determines the centerline of the travel lane in which the vehicle is travelling based on the determined left and right edges of the roadway. 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. The left and right edge determination may comprise identifying a difference between a thermal signature representative of the roadway and a thermal signature representative of a non-roadway portion that is located proximate to the roadway portion.

A system for controlling operation of a vehicle, the system comprising: a voice synthesizer unit for providing voice communication to a driver; a speech recognition unit for receiving speech from a driver; a breath alcohol sensor unit for detecting a presence of alcohol on the breath of a driver and providing a signal representative of the same; a vehicle operation interface for controlling operation of the vehicle; and a controller for (i) selectively causing the voice synthesizer unit to speak to the driver, (ii) operating the speech recognition unit to detect speech by the driver, (iii) receiving the signal from the breath alcohol sensor unit, and (iv) depending on the signal received from the breath alcohol sensor unit, providing a command to the vehicle operation interface to control operation of the vehicle.

A driver can intuitively and conveniently perform an operation for instructing a traffic lane change to a vehicle. In a driving support device 10, an image output unit 14a outputs, to a display unit 31, an image containing an own vehicle object representing an own vehicle and a plurality of traffic lanes. An operation signal input unit 14b receives an operation of a user for moving the own vehicle object in the image displayed on the display unit 31 from a first traffic lane to a second traffic lane. A command output unit 14c outputs, to an automatic driving control unit 20 that controls automatic driving, a command for instructing the change of a traveling traffic lane of the own vehicle from the first traffic lane to the second traffic lane when the operation is received.

A method and a device for adjusting a display brightness value are provided. The method includes: acquiring a brightness value of a virtual image at an imaging position of an HUD and a brightness value of an environment where the virtual image is located; and adjusting the display brightness value of the HUD in accordance with the brightness value of the environment and the brightness value of the virtual image.

Capacitive sensor includes sensor electrode, sensor circuit that is electrically connected to sensor electrode measures capacitance of sensor electrode, first impedance element, noise detection circuit that is electrically connected to sensor electrode through first impedance element and measures noise, and control circuit that switches between on and off of each of sensor circuit and noise detection circuit. Control circuit causes sensor circuit to measure the capacitance of sensor electrode by turning on sensor circuit and by turning off noise detection circuit and control circuit causes noise detection circuit to measure the noise by turning off sensor circuit and by turning on noise detection circuit.

Systems and methods for providing visual assistance during an autonomous driving maneuver are disclosed. The vehicle includes one or more sensors, one or more processors, and a memory including instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method that includes determining available positions of the vehicle based on sensor data received from the one or more sensors, receiving input indicating a selected position of the available positions of the vehicle, providing instructions to autonomously maneuver the vehicle to the selected position based on the sensor data and the selected position, the autonomous maneuver including one or more steps, and providing for display an autonomous driving maneuver user interface including a graphical indicator of a current step of the autonomous maneuver and a graphical indicator of a destination position of the current step.

A collision avoidance and/or pedestrian detection system for a large passenger vehicle such as commuter bus, which includes one or more exterior and/or interior sensing devices positioned strategically around the exterior and interior of the vehicle for recording data, method for avoiding collisions and/or detecting pedestrians, and features/articles of manufacture for improving same, is described herein in various embodiments. The sensing devices may be responsive to one or more situational sensors, and may be connected to one or more interior and/or exterior warning systems configured to alert a driver inside the vehicle and/or a pedestrian outside the vehicle that a collision may be possible and/or imminent based on a path of the vehicle and/or a position of the pedestrian as detected by one or more sensing devices and/or situational sensors.
