A traffic light information providing apparatus, a vehicle system including the same, and a method thereof may include: a storage configured to accumulate and store intersection traffic light information; and a processor configured to convert turn-on information of a traffic light of an intersection in front of a vehicle into a database in the storage during driving of the vehicle, and configured to pre-provide a user with traffic light information at the intersection or traffic light information at a crosswalk in a turning direction before or while passing through the intersection based on the converted database of the turn-on information of the intersection traffic light.

A pseudo driving sound playback system includes a server and an in-vehicle device. The server includes a database of pseudo sound data sets in which sound elements of engine sound are associated with each of a plurality of predefined driving states for each of a plurality of passenger gasoline vehicle models. The in-vehicle device determines one of a plurality of vehicle models based on received input of a user, downloads a pseudo sound data set of the vehicle model from the server, selects a sound element according to the detected driving state from the pseudo sound data set, and sequentially outputs the sound element as sound from a speaker.

A display apparatus and a vehicle including the same are provided. A display apparatus includes: a display panel configured to display an image, a driving circuit including: a flexible circuit film connected to the display panel, and a printed circuit board connected to the flexible circuit film, a first supporting member at a rear surface of the display panel, the first supporting member having a hole therein, and a vibration apparatus supported by the first supporting member, the vibration apparatus including a first vibration apparatus disposed at the rear surface of the display panel, wherein the flexible circuit film extends through the hole, and wherein the printed circuit board is disposed at a rear surface of the first supporting member.

A vehicle seating system includes a seatback pivotally coupled to a seat base. The seatback is operable between an upright position and a reclined position. A lift assembly is operably coupled to the seat base. The lift assembly is operable between a disengaged position and an engaged position. A position sensor is coupled to the lift assembly via a ball joint, wherein the ball joint and the position sensor adjust with movement of the lift assembly. A seat controller communicatively is coupled to the position sensor, wherein the seat controller determines if the lift assembly is in the disengaged position or has moved to the engaged position based on position data received from the position sensor.

Various implementations include an assistive driving device including a base, a first post, a second post, a third post, and a selector. The first post is for receiving a portion of a palm of a hand of a user and has a proximal end and a distal end. The second post has a proximal end and a distal end. The third post has a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal ends of the first, second, and third posts are coupled to the base. The second post and the third post are positioned to receive a portion of an arm of the user. The selector is spaced apart from the first post and positioned such that the selector is actuatable with a dorsum of the hand of the user.

Disclosed is a method defining a driver-assistance procedure implemented by a driver-assistance system of a vehicle, the procedure including performing an environment analysis around the vehicle, identifying a potential risk around the vehicle based on the performed environment analysis, identifying a field of view of a driver, determining whether or not the identified potential risk is located in the field of view of the driver and is hidden in a blind spot area of the vehicle, when the identified potential risk is located in the field of view of the driver and the identified potential risk is hidden in the blind spot area of the vehicle, informing the driver to change a driver's position in order to be able to see the identified potential risk.

A driver monitoring device includes a detector that detects a posture of a driver in a driver's seat of a vehicle based on an image captured by an image capturing device, a determination controller that determines whether an irregular posture can impede the vehicle from traveling safely based on a condition concerning traveling of the vehicle acquired from the vehicle and the posture of the driver detected by the detector, and one or more notifiers that provide a notification concerning the irregular posture in accordance with a result of a determination made by the determination controller. The one or more notifiers refrain from providing the notification concerning the irregular posture when the result of the determination indicates that the irregular posture does not impede the vehicle from traveling safely.
