A head up display system, a control method thereof and a vehicle are provided. The head up display system includes an imaging device group, a concave reflective element, a directional imaging device and a processor, the imaging device group includes at least one single-layer imaging device; the directional imaging device includes a light source device, a direction control element, a diffusing element and a light modulating layer; the processor is respectively connected with the directional imaging device and the at least one single-layer imaging device in the imaging device group.

Methods and systems are provided for detecting and responding to dangerous road users. In some aspects, a process can include steps for receiving sensor data of a detected object from an autonomous vehicle, determining whether the detected object is exhibiting a dangerous attribute, generating output data based on the determining of whether the detected object is exhibiting the dangerous attribute, and updating a machine learning model based on the output data relating to the dangerous attribute.

At least one nearby vehicle may be extracted from a vehicle vicinity image collected by a sensor equipped in the target vehicle. Lane recognition information representing which one position a position of the extracted nearby vehicle corresponds to with respect to the target vehicle, and/or vehicle position information representing a relative distance from the target vehicle to the nearby vehicle may be identified. An attention degree of the nearby vehicle may be calculated based on a speed of the nearby vehicle calculated from the relative distance and a vehicle speed of the target vehicle, the vehicle position information of the nearby vehicle, the relative distance of the nearby vehicle, the speed of the target vehicle, or any combination thereof. An alarm for the nearby vehicle may be displayed on a screen according to the calculated attention.

The present disclosure relates to a crash pad device for a vehicle with a real wood sheet, the crash pad device including a real wood sheet comprising a real wood design portion having a real wood pattern processed thereon, and an edge portion formed at an edge of the design portion, and a lighting portion disposed at a lower side of the real wood sheet and being configured to emit light to an outside through the real wood pattern.

A display control device is mounted on a vehicle and is configured to control display of information on a display device. The display control device includes an electronic control unit that determines whether there is information to be displayed on the display device, determines whether a predetermined first condition to determine that a driving operation by a user is not required is satisfied, determines whether a predetermined second condition to determine that the driving operation by the user is required is satisfied, controls the display device such that the display device displays the information when it is determined that there is information to be displayed on the display device and that the first condition is satisfied, and controls the display device such that the display device hides the information when it is determined that the second condition is satisfied.

An example operation includes one or more of displaying, on a transport display, first data from a device detachably attached to a transport and displaying, on the transport display, second data from a device affixed to the transport. The second data is overlaid on the display proximate to the first data.

Systems and methods for controlling a head-up display (HUD) in a vehicle are disclosed herein. One embodiment deactivates the HUD in response to a command from a driver of the vehicle; assigns a level of urgency to an item of information associated with a current vehicular context; and activates the HUD to display the item of information to the driver, when the level of urgency exceeds a predetermined threshold.

In one embodiment, a cognitive load driving assistant increases driving safety based on cognitive loads. In operation, the cognitive load driving assistant computes a current cognitive load of a driver based on sensor data. If the current cognitive load exceeds a threshold cognitive load, then the cognitive load driving assistant modifies the driving environment to reduce the cognitive load required to perform the primary driving task and/secondary task(s), such as texting via a cellular phone. The cognitive load driving assistant may modify the driving environment indirectly via sensory feedback to the driver or directly through reducing the complexity of the primary driving task and/or secondary tasks. In particular, if the driver is exhibiting elevated cognitive loads typically associated with distracted driving, then the cognitive load driving assistant modifies the driving environment to allow the driver to devote appropriate mental resources to the primary driving task, thereby increasing driving safety.

A method of processing data for a driving automation system, the method comprising steps of: obtaining sound data from a microphone of an autonomous vehicle; processing the sound data to obtain a sound characteristic; and updating a context of the autonomous vehicle based on the sound characteristic.

A driving assistance apparatus is configured to perform an assistance control of assisting in driving a vehicle, when a first condition and a second condition are satisfied, in a situation in which a target is recognized. The driving assistance apparatus is provided with: a determinator configured to determine a state of the assistance control. The determinator is configured (i) to determine that the state of the assistance control is a standby state if a standby condition is satisfied, wherein the standby condition requires that the first condition is satisfied, but the second condition is not satisfied, in the situation in which the target is recognized, and (ii) to determine that the state of the assistance control is an interruption state if an interruption condition is satisfied, wherein the interruption condition requires that the first condition is no longer satisfied while the satisfaction of the standby condition is continued.
