System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to inducing awareness in a driver about a surrounding environment of a vehicle using an augmented reality (AR) system within the vehicle. In one embodiment, a method includes identifying one or more potential hazards to the vehicle in the surrounding environment from sensor data collected from at least one sensor of the vehicle. The method includes rendering, within the AR system, a display scenario about the one or more potential hazards by displaying one or more graphical elements that correlate with locations of the one or more potential hazards in the surrounding environment.

A driving support device is configured to restrict notification of information on a presence of an oncoming vehicle in an opposing path entering the intersection to a driver of a host vehicle over a restriction period which is a period from a first time point at which it is determined that a state of a traffic signal has been switched from a first state in which the turn of the host vehicle is prohibited to a second state in which the turn of the host vehicle is permitted to a time point at which it is estimated that the host vehicle is able to perform the turn at an intersection based on information on the state of the host vehicle after the first time point, and to release the restriction of the notification of the information when the restriction period has elapsed from the first time point.

An automated motor vehicle that has a sensor device which continuously determines a viewing direction of a person sitting on a driver's seat, and a control device connected to the sensor device. The control device determines a frequency of a change in the viewing direction on the basis of the viewing direction determined by the sensor device, compares the frequency with a predetermined limit value, and if the frequency is greater than the predetermined limit value, outputs a control signal to an information output device connected to the control device. The information output device outputs a predetermined item of information to the person sitting on the driver's seat after receiving the control signal.

A method for the performance-enhancing driver assistance of a road vehicle on a track comprising the steps of: determining, in use, the current position and the current orientation of the road vehicle on the track by means of a tracking device; identifying an optimal trajectory in relation to the conformation of the track and/or to the road vehicle; determining, in use, a relative position of the road vehicle with respect to the optimal trajectory by identifying a longitudinal relative position on the optimal trajectory; suggesting to the driver, by means of one or more colours emitted or assumed by a light interface device, depending on the longitudinal relative position, one or more actions to be performed to vary a longitudinal dynamic of the road vehicle in order to perform a mission optimising the performance on the track.

A driving support device is provided which can efficiently perform training for driving support. A driving support device (11) is equipped to a vehicle (1), and includes a driving support execution unit (201) capable of executing driving support to control steering and/or braking of the vehicle 1, and executing the driving support when the driver of the vehicle (1) performs a predetermined operation using a predetermined operator provided in the vehicle (1); and a driving support training control unit (202) which executes driving support training processing for the driver of the vehicle (1) to train the predetermined operation, in which the driving support training control unit (202) executes the training support training processing after the vehicle (1) has started up and during vehicle stop.

Aspects of the technology relate to assisting a passenger in an autonomous vehicle without a driver. For instance, after a door of the vehicle is opened, a predetermined period of time may be waited by processors of computing devices of the vehicle. After waiting the predetermined period of time and when the vehicle's door remains open, a set of instructions for closing the vehicle's door may be played by the processors through a speaker of the vehicle. Once the door of the vehicle is closed, an announcement may be played by the processors through the speaker requesting that the passenger press a first button to initiate a ride to a destination. In response to the first button being pressed, the ride to the destination may be initiated by the processors by maneuvering the vehicle autonomously to the destination.

Information can be displayed on display devices according to information to be notified. An information processing system 1 includes a navigation device 3, a mobile terminal 5, and a control server 7, wherein the navigation device 3 is connected to a head-up display 4 that can be visually recognized by a driver and includes a display panel 33a that can be visually recognized by the driver and a passenger other than the driver, the mobile terminal 5 transmits notification information to the navigation device 3 and transmits notification related information regarding the notification information to the control server 7, the control server 7 determines a display device that displays information based on the notification information in the navigation device 3 based on the notification related information received from the mobile terminal 5 and transmits display location information indicating the determined display device to the navigation device 3, and the navigation device 3 displays the information based on the notification information on the display device indicated by the received display location information.

The disclosure specifies a display device for a motor vehicle. The display device has a memory unit that stores visual requirements of vehicle occupants, an identification component that identifies a vehicle occupant, a processing unit that is designed to assign the visual requirements to an identified vehicle occupant and transfer the assigned visual requirements to a display. The display is individually adjustable to visual requirements of a vehicle occupant.

System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to inducing awareness in a driver about a surrounding environment of a primary vehicle. In one embodiment, a method includes, in response to detecting that a nearby vehicle is present within a defined range of the primary vehicle, generating a behavior characterization of the nearby vehicle according to at least sensor data from one or more sensors of the primary vehicle. The method includes indicating to the driver of the primary vehicle the behavior characterization of the nearby vehicle to inform the driver of how surrounding vehicles including the nearby vehicle are operating and to induce the driver to be engaged with the surrounding environment of the primary vehicle.
