A vehicle image processing device includes a camera that images surroundings of a vehicle and outputs video data. An image extraction unit extracts an image from the video data when a predetermined operation for instructing image acquisition is performed, and an image processing unit processes the extracted image in accordance with a field of view of the user in a vehicle interior. A display processing unit and a display device display the processed image on a screen arranged at a position aligned with a line of sight of the user.

A method comprises receiving a service request from a vehicle, obtaining environment data with one or more sensors, determining a vehicle type of the vehicle based on the service request, determining service data responsive to the service request based on the vehicle type of the vehicle and the environment data, and transmitting a service message comprising the service data to the vehicle.

Terrain characteristics of an off-road area are determined based on a map. The terrain characteristics include a terrain type, a terrain grade, and a presence or an absence of an obstacle. Vehicle characteristics are determined including a ground clearance and a breakover angle. Based on a user level, vehicle parameters for the off-road area are determined based on the terrain characteristics, the vehicle characteristics, and the user input. The vehicle parameters include a speed and a transmission gear. The vehicle parameters for the off-road area are output.

The invention relates to a method for determining kinetosis in a vehicle user of a vehicle during at least one travel event in which at least one body part of the vehicle user is monitored, as a result of which image data are generated. Driving dynamics of the vehicle are monitored as the vehicle is being driven, as a result of which driving dynamics data are generated for every travel event while the vehicle is in motion. The image data are evaluated to determine the formation of sweat on the at least one body part of the vehicle user, as a result of which approximated electrodermal activity data are generated. The driving dynamics data are associated with the approximated electrodermal activity data, as a result of which the kinetosis of the vehicle user in at least one of the travel events is determined.

A system includes an acquisition unit that acquires an operation amount or a duration count, and a switching unit that switches a driving state. The switching unit switches the driving state to the cooperative driving state when the operation amount is equal to or greater than an intervention threshold and less than a start threshold or the duration count is equal to or greater than a first threshold and less than a second threshold during the autonomous driving state, switches the driving state to the autonomous driving state when the operation amount is less than the intervention threshold or the duration count is less than the first threshold during the cooperative driving state, and switches the driving state to the manual driving state when the operation amount is equal to or greater than the start threshold or the duration count is equal to or greater than the second threshold.

An operation appropriateness determination system includes an authentication apparatus that identifies an operator on a basis of a feature of the operator and that outputs information for identifying the operator, a biometric sensing apparatus that obtains biological information regarding the operator and that outputs the biological information, an operation sensing apparatus that detects a load of an operation that is being performed by the operator and that outputs operation information indicating the load of the operation, a storage device, and a signal processing apparatus.

A computer-implemented method comprises: initiating, by an assisted-driving system that is controlling motion of a vehicle, a lane change of the vehicle from an ego lane to a target lane, the lane change to be performed based only on local information of the vehicle; defining, by the assisted-driving system, a parametric representation of the target lane, the parametric representation based on first waypoints of the target lane; receiving, by the assisted-driving system and during the lane change, a first output of a perception component of the vehicle, the first output being the local information and reflecting second waypoints of the target lane; performing, by the assisted-driving system, a comparison based on the first output and the parametric representation; and providing, by the assisted-driving system, references of a first global path to controllers of the vehicle for actuating the lane change, the references selected based on the comparison.

The parking assist apparatus comprises an ECU. When the ECU recognizes a perpendicular-parallel parking possible space to which a vehicle can not only be perpendicularly parked from a parking start position but also be parallelly parked from the parking start position, the ECU is configured to display any one of a first perpendicular-parallel parking space selection button and a second perpendicular-parallel parking space selection button in such a manner that one of the buttons is superimposed on the perpendicular-parallel parking possible space.

A center information display system includes a center information display; a capturing device configured to obtain information on an occupant inside a vehicle; a rotating structure configured to adjust a view angle of the center information display; and a control device in communication with the capturing device, being configured to determine whether there is an occupant in a driver seat or a passenger seat, and control the rotating structure to rotate the center information display to a predetermined view angle.
