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.
Determining And Displaying Auto Drive Lanes In An Autonomous Vehicle
Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to identifying and displaying traffic lanes that are available for autonomous driving. This information may be displayed to a driver of a vehicle having an autonomous driving mode, in order to inform the driver of where he or she can use the autonomous driving mode. In one example, the display may visually distinguishing between lanes that are available for auto-drive from those that are not. The display may also include an indicator of the position of a lane (autodrive or not) currently occupied by the vehicle. In addition, if that lane is an autodrive lane the display may include information indicating how much further the vehicle may continue in the autonomous driving mode in that particular lane. The display may also display information indicating the remaining autodrive distance in other lanes as well as the lane with the greatest remaining autodrive distance.
VEHICULAR VISION SYSTEM
A vehicular vision system includes a camera, a distance sensor and a controller having at least one processor. Image data captured by the camera and sensor data captured by the distance sensor are processed at the controller. The controller, responsive to processing of captured image data and of captured sensor data, detects an object. The controller determines the distance to the detected object based at least in part on difference between the positions of the detected object in captured image data and in captured sensor data. The controller, responsive to processing of captured image data and of captured sensor data, and responsive to the determined distance to the detected object, determines that the detected object represents a collision risk. The controller alerts a driver of the vehicle of the collision risk and/or controls the vehicle to mitigate the collision risk.
VEHICULAR DRIVING ASSIST SYSTEM
A vehicular driving assist system includes a plurality of cameras disposed at a vehicle and an image processor that processes captured image data. With a trailer equipped with at least one trailer camera hitched to the vehicle, a display screen displays video images derived from captured image data. The system determines a reversing path for the vehicle and trailer to follow to assist the driver in backing up the trailer, and generates a graphic overlay at the display screen that indicates the determined reversing path. During the backing up maneuver of the trailer hitched to the vehicle, and responsive to determination of an object rearward of the trailer, the system (i) determines an adjusted reversing path to avoid the object and (ii) adjusts the graphic overlay to indicate the adjusted reversing path of the vehicle and trailer for the driver to follow in backing up the trailer.
Imaging apparatus, image processing apparatus, display system, and vehicle
An imaging apparatus 20 includes an image sensor 22 and a controller 33. The image sensor 22 is configured to capture a rear area behind a vehicle 50 and generate a first video image. The controller 33 is configured to synthesize a guide wall image 80 that indicates a predicted path of the vehicle in a display region of the first video image.
Vehicle capable of displaying information on road and control method therefor
Disclosed are a vehicle capable of projecting visual information used to guide driving or parking on a road and a control method therefor. The method of displaying information on a road for a vehicle includes recognizing a traveling state, determining at least one of a location or a curvature of a laser assistance line that is to be projected on a road from a front laser projector or a rear laser projector based on the recognized traveling state and a steering angle of the vehicle, and projecting the laser assistance line based on a result obtained from the determining.
VEHICLE CONNECTION GUIDANCE
A vehicle connection guidance system may include a sensor and a controller. The sensor is configured to be supported by a vehicle having a first width and a connection interface, the connection interface having a second width different than the first width and along which multiple connection points lie, wherein the sensor is to output steering angle signals. The Controller is configured to output presentation signals based upon the steering angle signals The presentation signals are to generate a visual presentation of a projected path of the width of the connection interface to an operator of the vehicle.
VEHICULAR MULTI-CAMERA SURROUND VIEW SYSTEM WITH VIDEO DISPLAY
A vehicular multi-camera surround view system includes a front camera, a driver-side camera, a passenger-side camera and a rear backup camera. Image data captured by the cameras is conveyed to an electronic control unit, which is operable to combine image data conveyed from the front camera, the driver-side camera, the passenger-side camera and said the backup camera to form composite video images, and to output the composite video images to a display device of the vehicle. The electronic control unit is operable to process image data from the rear backup camera to form rear backup video images derived solely from image data captured by the rear backup camera and to output the rear backup video images to the display device. The rear backup video images are displayed no later than 2 seconds after the driver of the vehicle first changes propulsion of the vehicle during a new ignition cycle to reverse mode.
Method and device for assisting an autonomous-drive vehicle driver, in particular when resuming manual control
A method is intended to assist the driver of a vehicle (VA) capable of being driven in an automated manner and in a manual manner, by means of a steering wheel (VV), in a traffic lane (VC1). This method comprises a step that involves determining an optimum trajectory of the vehicle (VA) in the event of automated driving, an actual current trajectory of the vehicle (VA) in the traffic lane (VC1), and a value of a parameter representative of a manual intervention being carried out by the driver on the steering wheel (VV), and representing these determined optimum and actual current trajectories on a medium (EA) with an aspect that depends on this determined value of the parameter.
Display control apparatus, display apparatus, display control method, and program
An image data acquisition unit acquires image data from a rear camera. A display image generation unit generates display image data obtained by superimposing a pair of predicted course lines and a plurality of assisting lines on the acquired image data. An extraction unit extracts a marked-off space boundary in a width direction of a marked-off parking space from the image data. A positional relation determination unit determines a positional relation between the extracted marked-off space boundary and the assisting line on the display image data. The display image generation unit changes a displaying format of an assisting line located on an outer side of the marked-off space boundary extracted by the extraction unit from a displaying format of an assisting line located on an inner side of the marked-off space boundary. A display control unit displays an image based on the display image data on a display unit.
