The subject of the invention is a device for generating images (10) for automotive vehicle head-up display (100), comprising a liquid crystal screen (12) and a back-lighting device (14), said back-lighting device (14) comprising: at least one light-emitting diode (16), a housing (28; 29) surrounding the space lying between the at least one light-emitting diode (16) and the liquid crystal screen (12), characterized in that said housing (28; 29) is bent, the device for generating images (10) furthermore comprising a reflecting surface (31; 32) arranged in a bent portion (28c; 29c) of the housing (28; 29) and oriented in such a way as to reflect the light emitted by the at least one light-emitting diode (16) in the direction of the screen (12). The invention also relates to a head-up display (100).

A steering module includes a steering wheel which is provided in front of a driver seat, a column cover which is provided on a vehicle front side of the steering wheel, extends in a forward and rearward direction of a vehicle, and has a functional component mounting region in at least one of an inner inside and an upper portion thereof, and a meter member which is formed integrally with the column cover and includes a main display portion disposed at a position spaced apart from the column cover.

A solar powered vehicle topper unit and systems and methods for the same are provided. A solar energy harvesting device is electrically connected to an electronic display within a housing. The solar energy harvesting device is located above the housing. The solar energy harvesting device has a first footprint, and the housing has a second footprint which is smaller than the first footprint.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for display graphics in a vehicle display. In one aspect, a method includes the actions of determining that an application that displays data in a non-safety critical information portion of a vehicle display has launched, wherein the vehicle display displays non-safety critical information in the non-safety critical information portion and safety critical information in a safety critical information portion of the display; providing, to a vehicle system that manages the vehicle display, context that characterizes the application; receiving, from the vehicle system, display state information that identifies an area of the vehicle display that is currently allocated to the non-safety critical information portion; generating, using the display state information, application display information that defines an area allocated for displaying the non-safety critical information generated by the application; and providing the application display information to the application.

An assembly for a vehicle comprising a crossmember, which is provided for connecting to two pillars lying opposite each other with respect to the x-y plane of the vehicle; a mounting that is connected to the crossmember, protrudes therefrom in the radial direction, and has two mounts, which are mutually spaced in the y direction, and end-face connection means; and a panel-shaped instrument which is connected to the connection means of the mounting at a distance to the upper closure thereof and which is held such that the operating surface of the instrument faces the passenger compartment of the vehicle in the x direction. Each of the two mounts is designed in the form of a half shell which are arranged such that the opening side thereof faces in the y direction, wherein the two limbs of the mounts designed as half shells are arranged on the x-y plane, the web connecting said limbs is arranged on the y-z plane, and each of the mounts has at least one predetermined bending point, which is provided by the geometry of the mount, between the two connection points of the mount, said mounts bending at the predetermined bending point in the z and/or y direction in the event of a load (x direction).

An apparatus for monitoring a vehicle camera system. The vehicle camera system includes at least one camera to capture images of a field of view at a side of the vehicle and a display unit for visualizing the captured images to a driver of the vehicle. The apparatus includes a control unit adapted to control the display unit to display a graphical indicator, the displayed graphical indicator changes sequentially in a default way to allow the driver to visually detect a malfunctioning of the vehicle camera system based on a deviation from the default way of the sequentially changing graphical indicator.

In an image processing device (120), an extraction unit (121) extracts a plurality of objects from a captured image (101). A prediction unit (122) predicts a future distance between the plurality of objects extracted by the extraction unit (121). A classification unit (123) classifies into groups the plurality of objects extracted by the extraction unit (121) based on the future distance predicted by the prediction unit (122). A processing unit (124) processes the captured image (101) into a highlight image (102). The highlight image (102) is an image in which the plurality of objects classified by the classification unit (123) are highlighted separately for each group.

The autonomous vehicle visual language system displays a plan sentence to an operator of an autonomous vehicle. The plan sentence includes visual syntax, the visual syntax being images displayed in predetermined configurations to convey specific information associated with any maneuvers the autonomous vehicle plans to execute. The visual syntax allows for a structured layering of information such that the plan sentence can display more complex information. The operator of the autonomous vehicle can process individual warnings and information more quickly, even when the operator has never seen a particular warning or element of information before. Additionally, the system 100 allows for personalization of a driver model to more closely reflect the operator's driving style, which is then implemented in the visual language displayed as the plan sentence.

A projector system for a vehicle includes an external member having at least a portion formed of a transparent material, the portion including a translucent surface, and a projector configured to project an image onto the translucent surface.

A structure is for attaching an in-vehicle device including a display 20 standing on a dashboard 1 of a vehicle, and a controller 30 placed inside the dashboard 1. The structure includes a connecting bracket 40. The controller 30 is fixed to the dashboard 1. The controller 30 and the display 20 are connected together via the connecting bracket 40. The connecting bracket 40 is attachable to and detachable from the controller 30 and the display 20 independently.
