In a method for operating a driver information system in an ego vehicle, environment data are detected in an environment of the ego vehicle. By using the environment data, it is determined whether a lane change of the ego vehicle from a current lane to an adjacent, additional lane may be safely carried out. A driver information display is generated and output, wherein the driver information display comprises a graphic adjacent lane object that represents the adjacent additional lane. The adjacent lane object has a graphic depiction feature that is generated according to whether the lane change may be safely carried out.

A control unit for displaying a traffic situation on a screen of an ego vehicle is designed to display a first traffic participant symbol for a first traffic participant in a first sub-region of the screen and a second traffic participant symbol for a second traffic participant in a second sub-region of the screen. The control unit is additionally designed to determine that the first traffic participant symbol and the second traffic participant symbol are approaching each other in a specified manner on the basis of a change in the position of the second traffic participant relative to the first traffic participant. In response thereto, the control unit is further designed to at least partly hide the first and/or the second traffic participant symbol.

A display control device for controlling a display position of a virtual image displayed and superimposed on a foreground in a vehicle (A), includes: an information acquisition unit for acquiring state information of the vehicle and extracting attitude change information and vibration information of the vehicle from the state information; a position correction unit for correcting a displacement of the display position of the virtual image with respect to the foreground caused by the attitude change of the vehicle, based on the attitude change information; a rough road determination unit for determining whether a road is a rough road, the road on which the vehicle is traveling or scheduled to travel, based on the vibration information; and a correction suppression unit for suppressing a correction control of the display position executed by the position correction unit and continuing to display the virtual image, based on a rough road determination.

A method, computer program product, and computing system for monitoring one or more machine vision sensors to obtain perception information concerning one or more third-party vehicles proximate an autonomous vehicle; identifying one or more vehicle shapes within the perception information, thus defining one or more detected vehicles shapes; generating proximate object display information that locates the one or more detected vehicles shapes with respect to the autonomous vehicle; and rendering the proximate object display information on a visual display system, thus confirming the perception of the one or more third-party vehicles by the autonomous vehicle.

The present disclosure provides systems and methods to communicate intent of an autonomous vehicle. In particular, the systems and methods of the present disclosure can receive, from an autonomy computing system of an autonomous vehicle, data indicating an intent of the autonomous vehicle to perform a driving maneuver. It can be determined that the intent of the autonomous vehicle should be communicated to a passenger of the autonomous vehicle. Responsive to determining that the intent of the autonomous vehicle should be communicated to the passenger of the autonomous vehicle, a graphical interface indicating the intent of the autonomous vehicle can be generated and provided for display for viewing by the passenger.

The disclosed subject matter generally relates to alerting a vehicle driver having impaired eye sight of an object present in a portion of a field of view of the driver where the driver has impaired eye sight. With embodiments of the present disclosure, a driver with impaired eye sight may be provided with an alert when an object is present in a portion of a field of view of the driver where the driver has impaired eye sight. In this way may drivers who otherwise may feel uncomfortable driving due to impaired eye sight in parts of their field of view, be provided with an aid for safely driving the vehicle. This provides for improved quality of life for the person who may be able to safely drive the vehicle, and also for an improved safety when the person drives the vehicle.

The invention regards an assistance system and a method for assisting a user of such an assistance system including a display displaying representations of one or more objects in the environment of the display. In a first step, information on an environment of the display, is determined and presence of objects in the environment is determined. Then, a representation of the environment including representations of the objects determined in the environment is generated. For at least one of the determined and displayed objects, a starting point for an indicator line is calculated from a direction of the object relative to the display, and, for each determined starting point, an indicator line connecting the starting point with the displayed representation of the real world object is drawn.

A display apparatus mountable on a mobile object, which: obtains a display location and a movement direction of a virtual object to be displayed in a display area of the display apparatus so as to be overlaid in a real world, the virtual object to be moved relative to movement of the mobile object; estimates a time it will take for the virtual object to move from the display location to a border of the display area, or a distance between the display location of the virtual object and the border of the display area, each based on the display location and the moving direction of the virtual object; determines a display form of the virtual object based on the estimated time or the estimated distance; and causes the virtual object be displayed in the determined display form, such that the virtual object changes the display form while moving in the display area.

A method of providing surrounding information of a vehicle includes: detecting at least one sensor-based obstacle using sensor detection information acquired through a surroundings sensor, detecting at least one image-based obstacle using image information acquired through a plurality of cameras, detecting at least one matched obstacle from the at least one sensor-based obstacle or the at least one image-based obstacle, and correcting the position of the at least one matched obstacle using at least one of a sensor-based detection result or an image-based detection result with respect to the at least one matched obstacle.

A method, computer program product, and computing system for monitoring one or more machine vision sensors to obtain perception information concerning one or more pedestrians proximate an autonomous vehicle; identifying one or more humanoid shapes within the perception information, thus defining one or more detected humanoid shapes; generating proximate object display information that locates the one or more detected humanoid shapes with respect to the autonomous vehicle; and rendering the proximate object display information on a visual display system, thus confirming the perception of the one or more pedestrians by the autonomous vehicle.
