Vehicular control system with trailering assist function
A vehicular control system includes a rear backup camera viewing at least rearward of the vehicle. With a trailer hitched to the vehicle, and based at least in part on image processing of captured image data during a backing-up maneuver, the image processor determines a distance between an axle of the trailer and the hitch of the vehicle and determines a trailer angle of the trailer hitched to the vehicle. During the backing-up maneuver of the trailer hitched to the vehicle, the vehicular control system determines a path of the trailer responsive to (i) a steering angle of the vehicle, (ii) the determined trailer angle of the trailer and (iii) the determined distance between the axle of the trailer and the hitch of the vehicle. The vehicular control system displays information to assist the driver in backing up the trailer hitched to the vehicle.
Vehicle vision system with master-slave camera configuration
A vision system of a vehicle includes a plurality of cameras disposed at a vehicle and having a field of view exterior of the vehicle. A display device is operable to display images for viewing by a driver of the vehicle. The plurality of cameras includes a master camera and at least one slave camera. The at least one slave camera communicates a signal to the master slave camera representative of image data captured by the at least one slave camera. The master camera includes an image signal processor for processing image data captured by at least the master camera. The master camera includes a view generator operable to generate images for display by the display device, with the generated images derived from image data captured by the master camera and the signal communicated by the at least one slave camera.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR A MULTIFUNCTIONAL VISOR FOR A VEHICLE
The disclosure generally pertains to a visor system of a vehicle. The visor system may include a multifunctional visor having a multilayer stack. A first layer of the multilayer stack may include a material whose optical transmittance is modifiable in response to a control signal provided by a controller, a second layer containing a material whose optical reflectance is modifiable in response to another control signal provided by the controller, and a third layer, which is interposed between the first layer and the second layer and includes a display system that turns optically transparent in response to another control signal provided by the controller. An occupant of the vehicle can make a selection to place the multifunctional visor in any of various states, such as a mirror state, a visor state, or a display state (for displaying images such as a speedometer and/or a GPS route map).
Heads-up display visor device for an automobile
Embodiments disclosed herein relate to a heads-up display visor for a vehicle, such as an automobile, to provide driver assistance information to the driver. Features include a display screen that is sized and positioned relative to the driver's conventional sun visor, so as to eliminate the need to project images onto the windshield and/or to have a projector located on the vehicle dashboard. In certain embodiments, the heads-up display visor is portable, and is affixed to the driver's conventional sun visor by a clip, thereby allowing a driver to move the device from one vehicle to another.
Vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly with a mirror reflective element assembly having a main reflective element and an auxiliary wide angle reflective element
A vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror reflective element assembly. The mirror reflective element assembly includes a main reflective element backing plate and a main reflective element. The main reflective element includes a glass substrate having a mirror reflector coated at a surface thereof. The mirror reflector-coated glass substrate of the main reflective element is attached at the main reflective element backing plate. The mirror reflective element assembly includes an auxiliary reflective element backing plate and an auxiliary wide angle reflective element. The auxiliary wide angle reflective element is positioned on the auxiliary reflective element backing plate. The auxiliary reflective element backing plate is attached to the main reflective element backing plate via an attachment mechanism.
REARVIEW HEAD UP DISPLAY
A motor vehicle includes a rearview camera capturing images of a scene behind the motor vehicle. An electronic processor receives the images captured by the camera. A virtual image projection arrangement is communicatively coupled to the electronic processor and presents a virtual image dependent upon the images captured by the camera. The virtual image is visible by a driver of the vehicle after being reflected by a windshield.
MOVING BODY
An automatic driving vehicle that is automatically movable, the automatic driving vehicle includes a LIDAR configured to acquire external world information on an automatic movement, and a bracket holding the LIDAR and fixed to the automatic driving vehicle. The bracket is fixed to a rearview mirror which is as another device different from the LIDAR.
Electronic device, operation method of the electronic device, and moving vehicle
Provided is an electronic device whose display quality is independent of environment light. The electronic device is provided with an optical sensor, an acceleration sensor, and the like so that information including the brightness of external light, the angle of external light incident on the electronic device, and the orientation of the display portion in the electronic device is obtained, and the luminance and color tone of the display portion in the electronic device are corrected on the basis of the information. As the correcting method, calculation using a neural network is performed using the luminance and color tone meeting the preference of the user as teacher data and the obtained information as input data. The calculation result is reflected on the luminance and color tone of the display portion in the electronic device, whereby an image with display quality that suits the user's preference can be displayed.
Video display system for vehicle
A video display system for a vehicle includes a video display device disposed in the vehicle so as to be viewable by a driver of the vehicle. A camera is disposed at the vehicle and having an exterior field of view and operable to capture image data. A control includes a data processor. The control, responsive at least in part to processing by the data processor of captured image data, detects an object present exterior of the vehicle that is in the field of view of the camera, and determines if the detected object constitutes a hazardous condition. Responsive to determination of the hazardous condition, the control controls the video display device to automatically display an alert to the driver of the vehicle, with the alert including display of video images of the object that are derived from captured image data or a graphic overlay on displayed video images.
