Disclosed are embodiments of a glass article for a vehicle interior system. The glass article includes a glass sheet with a first side and a second side. A first frame is disposed on the glass sheet on the first side of the glass sheet, and a second frame disposed on the second side of the glass sheet. A mandrel is disposed between the first frame and the second frame. The mandrel has a flexural rigidity of at least 150 Pa.Math.m.sup.3 and a density of at most 2.75 g/cm.sup.3. The second side of the glass sheet rotates about the mandrel from a first configuration to a second configuration. In the first configuration, the first side forms a first angle with the second side, and in the second configuration. the first side forms a second angle with the second side. The first angle is different from the second angle.

A head up display apparatus capable of reducing a time period during which a user cannot visually recognize a virtual image while preventing damage due to sunlight and a control method thereof are provided. According to the present invention, it is possible to contribute to Goal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A video display 35 displays a video and emits video light of the displayed video. A mirror (video light projector) M1 projects the video light emitted from the video display 35 to a display region 5 so as to be reflected, thereby causing a user to visually recognize the projected video light as a virtual image. A shutter 68 is provided on an optical path 30 of the video light and switches to an optical path forming state in which the optical path of the video light is formed or an optical path non-forming state in which the optical path of the video light is not formed.

A HUD includes an image generation unit and a controller. The image generation unit emits first light for generating a first virtual image object to be displayed at a position apart from a vehicle by a first distance, and second light for generating a second virtual image object to be displayed at a position apart from the vehicle by a second distance longer than the first distance. The controller controls the image generation unit. The controller causes information being displayed on at least one of the first virtual image object and the second virtual image object to be displayed on the other of the first virtual image object and the second virtual image object, based on information related to traveling of the vehicle and an instruction from an occupant of the vehicle.

A control device include a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to acquire state information related to an approach state toward a driver's vehicle of another vehicle approaching the driver's vehicle from behind, and based on the acquired state information, prohibit notification by a notification section in a case in which a notification condition has been established for notifying an approach of the other vehicle toward the driver's vehicle to an occupant of the driver's vehicle through the notification section and also the other vehicle is the same as a vehicle notified as approaching toward the driver's vehicle immediately previously.

A system for providing situational recommendations within a vehicle includes a system controller in communication with a plurality of onboard sensors, the plurality of onboard sensors adapted to collect real-time data related to a location of the vehicle and operating conditions of the vehicle, a database in communication with the system controller adapted to store data related to past actions and data related to a location of the vehicle and operating conditions of the vehicle when such past actions occurred, the system controller including a driver specific machine learning model adapted to predict a desired action based on the real-time data related to the location and operating conditions of the vehicle and data from the database, the system controller further adapted to initiate the predicted desired action, receive input from an occupant within the vehicle, and update the driver specific machine learning model.

A system and method for a motorized land vehicle that detects objects obstructing a driver's view of an active road, includes an inertial measurement unit-enabled global position system (GPS/IMU) subsystem for obtaining global position system (GPS) position and heading data of a land vehicle operated by the driver as the vehicle travels along a road, a street map subsystem for obtaining street map data of the GPS position of the vehicle using the GPS position and heading data as the vehicle travels along the road, and a three-dimensional (3D) object detector subsystem for detecting objects ahead of the vehicle and determining a 3D position and 3D size data of each of the detected objects ahead of the vehicle. The street map subsystem merges the street map data, the GPS position and heading data of the vehicle and the 3D position data and 3D size data of the detected objects, to create real-time two-dimensional (2D) top-view map representation of a traffic scene ahead of the vehicle. The street map subsystems finds active roads ahead of the vehicle in the traffic scene, and finds each active road segment of the active roads ahead of the vehicle that is obstructed by one of the detected objects. A driver alert subsystem notifies a driver of the vehicle of each of the active road segments that is obstructed by one of the detected objects.

A vehicle control device including a camera configured to photograph an image around a vehicle; a display unit configured to display the image received from the camera; at least one sound sensor arranged on the vehicle and configured to sense a sound generated inside or outside the vehicle; at least one sound output unit arranged on the vehicle and configured to output sound inside or outside the vehicle; and a controller configured to sense a situation of the vehicle based on the sensed sound generated inside or outside the vehicle, and control at least one of the sound sensor, sound output unit and the display unit to output information based on the sensed situation of the vehicle.

An apparatus for providing information services to a user in a vehicle includes an automotive concierge, a prompter, and an interaction mode. The automotive concierge is hosted by an infotainment system in the vehicle and engages in an interaction with the user based on context. The prompter generates a prompt for a model in response to an instruction from the automotive concierge, the instruction being based on the context information and the prompt being selected to cause the model to generate content that invites a choice from the user. The interaction mode delivers the content to the user and provides information from the user to the automotive concierge.

In an infotainment system of a vehicle, a mass storage unit stores map data and context data. The map data comprises geographic information about a geographic area around the vehicle and the context data comprises location-dependent context information about the geographic area for use when engaging in speech interaction with an occupant of the vehicle. The context data includes subsets of context data, each of which is pertinent to a different geographic area. A memory manager copies these subsets of context data into a dynamic memory based on the vehicle's movement.
