A notification device includes: a notification-sound output portion provided in a vehicle and configured to output a notification sound toward the outside of the vehicle; a notification display portion provided in the vehicle and configured to output a notification display toward the outside of the vehicle; a notification controlling portion configured to control the notification sound of the notification-sound output portion and the notification display of the notification display portion; and a stop-state determination portion configured to determine whether the vehicle during the automatic driving enters a stop state or not. When the stop-state determination portion determines that the vehicle during the automatic driving enters the stop state, the notification controlling portion outputs a stop-time notification sound as the notification sound by the notification-sound output portion and outputs a stop-time notification display as the notification display by the notification display portion.

Provided is a display system for a vehicle. The display system includes a display device installed to be visually recognizable from the outside of a vehicle, and a control device configured to cause the display device to display state information of the vehicle. The control device receives a signal from a sensor that senses a distance from the vehicle to an object around the vehicle, and the control device changes display of the display device based on the distance.

An electronic device for detecting the presence of an occupant on board a vehicle includes an audio sensor to acquire sound-sensing signals on board the vehicle. A movement sensor acquires movement-sensing signals associated with movement of the vehicle and an environmental sensor acquires environmental-sensing signals on board the vehicle. A processing unit is coupled to the audio sensor, movement sensor, and environmental sensor processes the respective sound-sensing signals, movement-sensing signals, and environmental-sensing signals to monitor the presence on board the vehicle of the occupant and the absence of a responsible person to determine a situation of danger and to activate a corresponding alarm warning.

Systems and methods for providing awareness of emergency vehicles are provided. Sensors located around a vehicle may detect moving objects that pose potentially dangerous situations for the vehicle occupants and for the object. This can cause the doors to lock automatically in order to make the situation safer. Additionally, electromagnetic radiation sensors located around the vehicle may detect the lights and sounds of emergency vehicles. If the electromagnetic data from the electromagnetic radiation sensors match a known pattern of electromagnetic data emitted by emergency vehicles stored in a library an alarm may be sounded through the speakers of the vehicle in order to alert the vehicle occupants of an emergency vehicle in the vicinity.

An apparatus for transmitting driving information of a vehicle may include: a surrounding information sensing unit configured to sense an obstacle positioned within a designated distance around the vehicle or an obstacle approaching within a designated distance; a vehicle information sensing unit configured to sense a status of the ego vehicle; a control unit configured to determine a surrounding situation of the ego vehicle or whether the surrounding situation was recognized, based on the information sensed through the surrounding information sensing unit, determine the status of the ego vehicle based on the information sensed through the vehicle information sensing unit, and output information through an information output unit, the information corresponding to the determined surrounding situation or whether the surrounding situation was recognized and the determined status of the ego vehicle; and the information output unit including a display lamp and speaker installed on the vehicle body.

The present invention relates to a warning display device for a vehicle. It is possible to prevent a warning indication part for safely guiding traffic caused by an accident, etc. to preceding or following vehicles from being exposed to the outside when not used, thereby preventing the aesthetic appearance from being deteriorated. In addition, it is possible to protect the warning display device including the warning indication part. As the warning display device is detachably coupled, it is possible to facilitate ease of maintenance.

A lane change support apparatus includes an electronic control unit configured to, when it is recognized that there is an abnormality in a driver of a host vehicle, determine whether or not lane change is possible. The electronic control unit is configured to determine that the lane change is possible when a vehicle speed of the host vehicle is lower than a predetermined upper limit speed, a following vehicle present closest to the host vehicle has stayed in a rear guard vehicle approval range for a predetermined time or longer, and a vehicle is not present in a lane change allowance gap.
