A display device for a motor vehicle, as well as a method for producing a display device for a motor vehicle. The display device comprises two or more displays, wherein the two or more displays have display housings and are optically bonded to a respective cover pane. A holding frame connects the two or more displays to each other. By means of at least one compensating element of the display device, the two or more displays can be aligned relative to each other.

One or more motors automatically rotate and position a center console of a vehicle for better viewability and access by a driver. When the driver pushes an activation button or speaks a voice command detected by a microphone, a driver tracking mode is entered. The driver tracking mode may also be automatically enabled upon detecting the lack of a front passenger in the vehicle. The central console moves forward and turns toward the driver's side to achieve an optimal viewing angle of approximately ninety degrees between the driver's face and the console display. The rotated position of the center console allows for easier access to buttons, icons, radio, CD/DVD player, temperature controls, etc. A console camera may be installed on the central console for facial recognition enabling the system to automatically adjust the console position to follow the driver's face for improved readability as the driver changes position over time.

Method and apparatus are disclosed for a traction and stability control system. An example vehicle includes wheel speed sensors on wheels of the vehicle and a traction control module. The example traction control module determines, based on measurements of the wheel speed sensors or a transmission control module, whether the vehicle is likely stuck. Additionally, when the vehicle is likely stuck and an indication to disable the a traction control system has been received, the example traction control module disables the traction control system

The touch input device comprises a base including a metal composite; a first pattern groove formed concavely in one surface of the base, a second pattern groove formed concavely in the other surface of the base; a first sensing pattern disposed in the first pattern groove and including a conductive material; a second sensing pattern disposed in the second pattern groove and including a conductive material; and a wire connecting the first sensing pattern and the second sensing pattern to an integrated circuit.

A user interface apparatus for a vehicle including a touch screen; a gesture input unit configured to detect a gesture of a user; and a processor configured to in response to the gesture detected by the gesture input unit being applied from a driver seat of the vehicle, display a preset first screen on the touch screen corresponding to driver operations of the vehicle, and in response to the gesture detected by the gesture input unit being applied from a front passenger seat of the vehicle, display a preset third screen on the touch screen corresponding to passenger operations of the vehicle excluding vehicle driving operations.

A vehicle interior layout includes a console having a support structure configured to be mounted on the floor of the vehicle and topped by an upper part, the upper part being rotatable around a substantially vertical pivot axis (A).

Provided is a vehicle control device and a control method thereof. The vehicle control device provided in a vehicle includes a display unit, a sensing unit configured to sense information associated with the vehicle, and a processor configured to bend at least one part of the display unit based on the information associated with the vehicle.

A module support bracket for a vehicle instrument panel includes a first module receiving surface defining an internal aperture, the first module receiving surface configured to receive a first module, and a second module receiving surface arranged within the internal aperture on a different plane than the first module receiving surface. The second module receiving surface is configured to receive a second module in a stacked relationship to the first module. The second module is configured to be inserted through an opening in the instrument panel in an installation direction to couple the second module to the second module receiving surface. The first module is subsequently inserted through the opening in the instrument panel in the installation direction to couple the first module adjacent the second module in a compact arrangement.

A motor vehicle includes a display device designed for depicting objects, a computing device for controlling the display device, and a stowage unit in which a first end region of the display device is inserted. In a stowage position of the display device, the entire display device is inserted in the stowage unit, and, starting from the stowage position, a useful region of the display device is extendable out of the stowage unit by a predeterminable use distance. The display device is lockable at different length values of the use distance, and therefore a plurality of different use positions results, and the computing device is designed to adjust the depiction of the objects depending on the current length value of the use distance.

A vehicle display device includes a display unit having a pointer, a dial plate as a background of the pointer, and a frame surrounding the dial plate, at least one of the pointer, the dial plate, and the frame being a physical element, and a virtual image display device that displays a virtual image overlapping with the physical element, in which the virtual image display device changes at least one of a color and a design of the virtual image overlapping with the physical element.
