A vehicle includes a display for displaying a keypad to receive a command through a touch gesture of a user, and a controller for determining an operable area for the user on the display based on a user's shoulder height and arm length, and for controlling the display to display the keypad in the operable area.

A vehicle comprises a console that includes a separator sheet extendable beyond boundaries of the console, and at least one of a human-machine interface; a passive restraint, a storage container, and a vent.

A display screen is disclosed and includes a display screen body having a viewing surface, a rear surface, and an aperture extending between the viewing surface and the rear surface. The display screen also includes a post constructed of a substantially transparent material without birefringence. The post is located within the aperture of the display screen body. A portion of the post extends out of the aperture in a direction away from the viewing surface of the display screen body to create a projection.

The invention relates to a control system (2) for controlling a main monitor (10) of a motor vehicle, said control system (2), configured so as to be installed on a central console (12), comprising a display screen and a touchscreen. Said control system (2) has a first mode of operation in which said display screen is in an inactive state and the touchscreen is in a basic configuration, and a second mode of operation in which said display screen is in an active state and the touchscreen is in an advanced configuration; the control system furthermore comprises a control module configured so as to put the control system into said first mode of operation when the vehicle is in a driven driving mode or into said second mode of operation when the vehicle is in an autonomous driving mode.

A user interface system for a vehicle interior includes a contact surface, a sensor grid and a controller. The sensor grid is configured for variable electrical resistance in response to applied pressure and the controller is configured to detect the electrical resistance of the sensor grid by monitoring a voltage. The controller detects the location of an input from a vehicle occupant, the intensity of the input, and the duration of the input.

A display device for a vehicle includes a stretchable display panel and a touch sensor on a first surface of the stretchable display panel and configured to sense a user's touch. The stretchable display panel includes a plurality of pixels and has a button display area and a display area adjacent the button display area. The stretchable display panel is integrally arranged on a center fascia of the vehicle that as a plurality of curved surfaces, and a step is defined between the button display area and the adjacent display area.

The present disclosure relates to a display control apparatus (1) for dynamically controlling the display of information in a vehicle (3). The display control apparatus (1) comprises a controller (12) having at least one electronic processor (13). The at least one electronic processor (13) is configured to control first and second displays (4, 5). In dependence on a determined gaze direction of the vehicle driver, the at least one electronic processor (13) controls a switching module (16) to cause a first information data set (INF1) displayed on said first display (4) to be displayed on said second display (5). The present disclosure also relates to a method of controlling the display of information in a vehicle (3).

A head-up display system for a motor vehicle includes a projection unit for providing a display image; a transparent holographic light guide display panel with a display surface in order to output a display image coupled into the display panel via a coupling-in region on a display surface, and a light guide which runs in a non-linear manner in order to guide a display image from the projection unit to the coupling-in region of the display panel.

Embodiments of this disclosure pertain to a vehicle interior system comprising a base having a base surface; and a glass article coupled to the surface, wherein the glass article comprises a first portion comprising a first elastically deformed surface forming a first concave shape with a first radius of curvature from about 20 mm to about 2000 mm, and a second elastically deformed surface directly opposite the first elastically deformed surface that forms a second convex shape, wherein the second elastically deformed surface has a surface compressive stress that is less than a compressive stress at the first elastically deformed surface, and a second portion adjacent the first portion, wherein the second portion is substantially planar portion or curved.

A vehicle interior component configured to provide a user interface for vehicle systems is disclosed. The component may comprise a composite structure comprising a cover to facilitate transmission of light (e.g. light-transmissive material), a sensor to detect input at or adjacent to the cover, a light panel/display to provide illumination through the cover, a functional layer and a positioning layer. The display may provide illumination through the cover. The user interface may be configured for input at the cover detected by the sensor and/or output from the display presented at least partially through the cover. The composite structure may comprise a substrate and/or may be configured in a contoured shape. The functional layer may comprise a diffuser. The positioning layer may comprise a foam material and/or a spacer fabric. A method of operating the user interface provided by the composite structure is also disclosed.
