A driver assistance system for motor vehicles, including at least one sensor for detecting object properties of objects which are located in the surroundings of the motor vehicle; a first interface; an output unit for transmitting the object properties to a user; and a control unit. The sensor transmits the object properties in a form of a first signal to the first interface. The first interface transmits the object properties, received in the form of the first signal, to the control unit in the form of a second signal, the control unit being configured to forward the object properties, received in the form of a second signal, to the output unit and to control the output of the object properties by the output unit.

A method for controlling an autonomous vehicle is disclosed. The vehicle control method, which adjusts a seat installed in a vehicle, a first display positioned in front of the seat and facing the seat, and a second display positioned in front of the first display and facing the seat, includes: detecting the face of a passenger sitting in the seat by a camera installed in the vehicle; estimating the face height from the floor surface of the vehicle; if the estimated face height is lower than a predetermined level, setting a display region on the first display, and, if the estimated face height is higher than the predetermined level, setting the display region on at least part of the second display; and displaying images in the set display region. One or more among an autonomous vehicle, user terminal, and server according to the present invention may be associated with an artificial intelligence module, a robot, an augmented reality (AR) device, a virtual reality (VR) device, etc.

A display control device for a vehicle that is configured to: detect a target ahead of a vehicle; set an apparent angle of a marker relative to a reference plane in accordance with a distance between the target and the vehicle, the reference plane being related to a road surface on which the vehicle is traveling; and display the marker so as to be superimposed on the target as viewed by a driver of the vehicle.

A vehicle display control device, which displays a predetermined image at a display region showing a foreground of a vehicle, includes a memory, and a processor connected to the memory. In a case in which a change operation that changes an advancing direction of the vehicle is planned, the processor displays at least one directional image, which indicates an advancing direction after the change, in the display region, and changes a number of the directional images during a time period until the vehicle reaches a change operation point at which the change operation is to be carried out.

The technology relates to providing an enhanced user experience for riders in autonomous vehicles. Two or more displays may be arranged at different locations within a vehicle to provide notifications, alerts and control options. Information may be dynamically and automatically switched between these displays, as well as a rider's own personal communication device(s). What information to present on each screen can depend on factors including how many riders are in the vehicle, their seating within the vehicle, how their attention is focused and/or display location and size. Certain information may be mirrored or otherwise duplicated among multiple screens while other information can be presented asymmetrically on different screens. Presented information may include a “monologue” from the vehicle explaining why a driving action is taken or not taken, alerts about important conditions, buttons to control certain functionality of the vehicle, or other information that may be of interest to the rider.

A vehicle communication system installed in a vehicle includes: a lamp for illumination, a display or signal; a display that is configured by a planar light emitter and has an information display function; and a control unit that is capable of controlling turning-on of the lamp and of the display. The control unit is configured to control the lamp and the display in a linked manner, and present vehicle information indicating a condition of the vehicle by combining light emission of the lamp with information display of the display.

An information display apparatus that displays image information on a vehicle includes a HUD apparatus projecting a large-scale virtual image onto a distant position and serving as a first information display apparatus 100 arranged between a windshield glass 6 of the vehicle and an instrument panel, and effectively displays a plurality of pieces of the image information by making coordination with a second information display apparatus 48 close to the windshield glass 6, the second information display apparatus causing a transparent dispersion sheet in the windshield glass to directly reflect a screen of a large-scale high-resolution image display panel so that the screen is observed by the driver.

An information presentation device, mounted on a vehicle for which automatic evacuation control functions when it is difficult for a driver to continue driving the vehicle, and presenting information to an occupant of the vehicle except the driver by a display in a display area that is visually recognizable by the occupant, includes: an operation information acquisition unit that acquires operation information of the automatic evacuation control; and a display generation unit that generates an occupant notification display that is displayed in the display area to notify information relating to the automatic evacuation control when the automatic evacuation control is in operation. The occupant notification display includes: an explanatory image that shows an explanation of a process executed currently; and a progress image that indicates a degree of progress in the automatic evacuation control.

A processor controls a first display section and a second display section provided to a vehicle such that when an occupant of the vehicle has performed a first operation while in a state in which a message is being displayed on the first display section and the second display section, the message is cleared from the first display section and the message continues to be displayed on the second display section.

An apparatus for providing information on board a vehicle includes a first display; a second display; a scanning device for capturing a position of a person on board the vehicle; and a processing device. The processing device is configured to: determine a constellation in which the second display is located between the first display and the person; determine a display content of the first display that is covered by the second display; and provide the determined display content on the second display.
