An electronic device provided in a vehicle and including a touch screen; a first camera configured to capture an image of a driver of the vehicle; and a controller configured to restrict a touch input function with respect to the touch screen in response to an eyeline of the driver included in the image being out of a preset driving range for more than a predetermined time.

A driving support apparatus for a hybrid vehicle including an engine and a motor, in which the engine starts running when any one of parameters indicating a state of the hybrid vehicle reaches an engine start threshold set for the parameters, the driving support apparatus includes a current value acquiring section that acquires current values of the parameters, a margin calculation section that calculates margin levels for the current values of the parameters for keeping the engine stopping using the current values of the parameters and the engine start thresholds, and an output section that outputs the smallest margin level of the calculated margin levels.

Systems and methods for adaptive cruise control based on user defined parameters are disclosed. An example disclosed vehicle includes a GPS receiver configured to provide a location of the vehicle, an adaptive cruise control; and a cruise control adjuster. In the example cruise control adjuster is configured to generate an action when a cruise control event is defined for the location. In the disclosed example the cruise control event is based on past changes to the adaptive cruise control at the location. The example cruise control adjuster is also configured to apply the action to the adaptive cruise control to change how the adaptive cruise control controls the vehicle.

The present application discloses a head-up display device which is mounted on a vehicle. The head-up display device includes a projection device which emits image light onto a reflective surface including a first area, and a second area below the first area. The image light includes first image light representing first information including information about an external factor outside the vehicle, and second image light representing second information about the vehicle itself. The projection device emits the first image light onto the first area and the second image light onto the second area.

A wearable device is provided that includes a receiver, a processor, and a transducer. The receiver is configured to receive speed limit data indicative of a posted speed limit corresponding to a route or road upon which the wearable device is traveling. The processor is configured to compare the speed limit to a current speed of the wearable device and/or a vehicle in which the user wearing the wearable device is driving. The transducer is configured to deliver a haptic or other notification to a user upon which the wearable device is worn when the current speed exceeds the speed limit or exceeds the speed limit by a predetermined amount. As a result, safer driving and vehicle collision avoidance may be facilitated. Safe driving auto insurance discounts may be provided to drivers that use the safe driving or speed limit warning functionality discussed herein.

The present disclosure provides a method of displaying the driving characteristics of a current vehicle in comparison with those of a previous vehicle and synchronizing the driving characteristics of the current vehicle with those of the previous vehicle by changing driving-characteristic-related setup data of the current vehicle in response to a driver request. Accordingly, the driving characteristics of the current vehicle is synchronized with the driving characteristics of the previous vehicle, and thus even if a driver drives a completely different type of vehicle, a familiar sense of traveling and sense of driving is provided.

A display device includes: a display unit configured to display an index corresponding to a deterioration state of a secondary battery and an EV travelable distance; and a control unit configured to control display of the display unit such that a first decreasing amount by which the EV travelable distance displayed on the display unit decreases with the elapse of time until a predetermined condition has been satisfied is less than a second decreasing amount by which the EV travelable distance displayed on the display unit decreases with the elapse of time after the predetermined condition has been satisfied.

A display displays a charging schedule of an electricity storage device, using multiple icons representing charging plans for multiple days. When multiple charging reservation types are specified for charging plans for multiple days, a controller displays icons on the display so that at least one of shapes and colors of the icons are different for each charging reservation type.

A visual system (1) for a vehicle (7) having a capturing unit (2) for capturing a field of view (8) and a calculation unit (3), which is adapted to generate image data to be displayed based on the captured image data, and to supply the same to an image display unit (4), wherein the image data to be displayed include the field of view (8) captured by the capturing unit (2), the image display unit (4) is adapted to display the image data to be displayed, so that they are visible for the driver of the vehicle (7), and the calculation unit (3) is adapted to superimpose at least one trajectory (10, 10′) of a future track/driving curve of the vehicle (7) on the image data to be displayed on the image display unit (4), if a steering angle of the vehicle (7) has a predetermined amount.

A driving assistance device according to an embodiment includes: a target setting unit configured to set a stop target; an acquisition unit configured to acquire a position of a vehicle; and an output information control unit configured to control a display unit to display a first image that instructs a driver to stop the vehicle in a first form when the vehicle is located within a region including the stop target and display the first image in a second form different from the first form when the vehicle is located outside the region.
