A method for generating a rear-view display of a vehicle coupled to a trailer. The method includes detecting that the vehicle is in a reverse gear or is turning and determining a trailer angle of the vehicle. The method further includes generating a blended image based on the trailer angle, a first video image from a rear-facing vehicle camera positioned on the vehicle, the first video image including a first region of interest including a trailer coupled to the vehicle, and a second video image from a rear-facing trailer camera positioned on the trailer, the second video image including a second region of interest of a rearview of the trailer, the blended image including an overlay of at least a portion of the second video image over the trailer in the first video image and displaying the blended image on the display.

A method for avoiding a vehicle undercarriage collision includes identifying an object within a field of view of a vehicle with at least one sensor. a size of the object is determined by comparing the size of the object to a predetermined height of the undercarriage of the vehicle. An indication is provided if the object will collide with an undercarriage of the vehicle

A vehicular control system includes a first communication device disposed at a first vehicle, a second communication device disposed at a second vehicle, a camera disposed at the second vehicle, and an electronic control unit (ECU) of the second vehicle. The vehicular control system determines a potential collision between the first vehicle and the second vehicle based at least in part on (i) a wireless communication received at the second communication device from the first communication device and provided to the ECU of the second vehicle and/or (ii) processing at the ECU of image data captured by the camera disposed at the second vehicle. Responsive to determination of the potential collision between the first vehicle and the second vehicle, the vehicular control system controls (i) braking of the second vehicle and/or (ii) steering of the second vehicle.

A main controller of an HUD is configured to: acquire road surface information of a front road surface based on a plurality of measurement points on the front road surface, which is detected by a road surface detection sensor mounted on a vehicle with the HUD and is positioned forward of a traveling direction of the vehicle; calculate, by using the road surface information, a virtual image plane position on a virtual image plane where a virtual image of a display object is displayed, which is a display position of the virtual image for displaying the virtual image along the front road surface; and calculate a display position of a display surface within an image display device, which corresponds to the virtual image plane position, so as to output, to the image display device, a control signal for displaying the display object on the display position of the display surface.

System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to aiding a user navigating a vehicle by displaying on a display device, a view of a front or rear of the vehicle with three-dimensional guideline walls overlaying the view. In one embodiment, a method includes, acquiring data that specifies a steering angle for the vehicle. The method includes determining, based on the steering angle data, a left three-dimensional guideline wall and a right three-dimensional guideline wall that together identify a potential path of travel for the vehicle. Each three-dimensional guideline wall has a height based at least on a height of a portion of the vehicle, and wherein the left and right three-dimensional guideline walls have a distance therebetween based at least on a width of the vehicle.

A vehicular vision system includes a camera module configured for mounting at an in-cabin portion of a windshield of a vehicle and including a circuit board and a camera that views forward of the vehicle and through the windshield. The camera includes a CMOS imaging sensor array. A data processor is operable to process image data captured by the CMOS imaging sensor array. Image data captured by the CMOS imaging sensor array is encoded by a data encoder chip. Image data captured by the CMOS imaging sensor array that is encoded at the data encoder chip is carried as a data stream from the camera module to the data processor via a cable. Communication via the cable between the camera and the data processor is bidirectional. The data processor is located in the vehicle remote from the camera module.

A parking assistance device includes an imager that captures an image of a surrounding of a vehicle, and a display that displays a guidance image for guiding the vehicle from a parking start position to a target parking position and displays a moving area in which the vehicle can move during a parking operation. An area and dimension of the moving area displayed on the display changes based on a change in a steering angle of the vehicle.

A vehicular control system includes a first communication device disposed at a first vehicle, a second communication device disposed at a second vehicle, a camera disposed at the second vehicle, and an electronic control unit (ECU) of the second vehicle. The vehicular control system determines a potential collision between the first vehicle and the second vehicle based at least in part on (i) a wireless communication received at the second communication device from the first communication device and provided to the ECU of the second vehicle and/or (ii) processing at the ECU of image data captured by the camera disposed at the second vehicle. Responsive to determination of the potential collision between the first vehicle and the second vehicle, the vehicular control system controls (i) braking of the second vehicle and/or (ii) steering of the second vehicle.

The present invention relates to products and systems to assist in the accurate guidance of agricultural vehicles such as tractors, harvesters, sprayers and their attached implements. In particular, it relates to driver-led precision guidance systems and products which assist in ensuring that a vehicle is tracking along the most effective path for the activity being carried out and making maximum use of the available land space when fertiliser spreading, spraying, cultivating and drilling etc.

The present invention is to perform appropriate display on a display of a navigation system. A navigation system that displays an image on a display and presents the image to an occupant of a vehicle, acquires data for generating drawing elements from at least one information source and stores the data in a temporary storage for each of the drawing elements included in the image, selects, from among normal available data stored in the temporary storage, data based on the information source determined in accordance with a predetermined setting, and causes a drawing processor to draw an image combining the drawing elements based on the selected data.
