Systems, methods and computer readable storage media provide flexible vehicle status notifications via an instrument cluster displayed on an in-vehicle screen. In some examples, when a non-displayed gauge goes into an out-of-parameter or warning range, the gauge may be dynamically shown in the out-of-parameter or warning state in a container position assigned to the gauge in another display or in a dynamic container position in the instrument cluster. In some examples, a popup notification may be provided to inform the driver of a condition. When there are multiple notifications, they may be grouped into definable severity classifications and prioritized so that a notification determined to be a most important message at the time is presented to the driver in a notification zone central to a driver's field of vision on the instrument cluster that allows for reusing screen space for providing warning and information from a range of data sources.

A display device included in a vehicle includes: a communication unit, a display; and a control unit. The communication unit can receive vehicle travel information. The processor can calculate a speed range based on the received vehicle driving information and control the display to display a graphic object representative of the calculated speed range on the display.

An onboard apparatus includes an image capturing unit configured to capture a periphery of a vehicle, a display unit configured to display an image captured by the image capturing unit, and a notification unit configured to notify an occupant of information. The notification unit is configured to notify the occupant that the vehicle is in a startable state on the condition that, at least, display of the captured image has been started by the display unit.

A display device includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire information on a use status of a battery that stores electric power for traveling of a vehicle; a display unit configured to display an image; and a display control unit configured to cause the display unit to display an image in which a state of the battery is represented by an anthropomorphic character based on an acquisition result of the acquisition unit.

The present application relates to a tire pressure receiver, including a main control unit, a tire pressure receiving unit, and a wireless communications unit. The wireless communications unit is configured to receive a first instruction sent by a terminal, and transmit the first instruction to the main control unit; the main control unit is configured to receive the first instruction, and update identity information of a tire pressure sensor according to the first instruction, so that the tire pressure sensor can match the tire pressure receiver; and then, the main control unit may receive, through the tire pressure receiving unit, tire pressure information corresponding to the tire pressure sensor of which the identity information is updated. In this way, a matching process is simplified, and user experience is improved. In addition, an instruction processing method is further provided.

A vehicle interior component is disclosed. The component may comprise a composite structure comprising a substrate and light guide and surface/cover with holes/pattern of apertures configured for illumination (by a light source/module) to provide an interface/display (with decorative and/or instrumentation region). The light guide may comprise a resin material formed as the set of projections in the pattern of apertures. The cover may comprise a decorative layer with backing configured to provide a visual/surface effect (e.g. natural material, wood veneer, etc.); the display may present a visual/decorative effect when illuminated at the pattern of apertures/light guide. The interface/display at the surface (by illuminated light guide/pattern of holes) may present indicia for a vehicle system and/or decorative effect. The component may comprise a trim/trim panel, instrument panel/dashboard, door panel/armrest, console, overhead trim/headliner, pillar/structure, seat, etc.

Methods and apparatus to provide accident avoidance information to passengers of autonomous vehicles are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a safety analyzer to determine an autonomously controlled vehicle is in a safe situation at a first point in time and in a dangerous situation at a second point in time. The example apparatus also includes a user interface generator to: generate user interface data to define content for a user interface to be displayed via a screen, the user interface to include a graphical representation of the vehicle, the user interface to graphically indicate the vehicle is in the safe situation at the first point in time; and modify the user interface data so that the user interface graphically indicates the vehicle is in the dangerous situation at the second point in time.

The present disclosure relates to an integrated control apparatus for an autonomous driving vehicle, in which operation for accelerating, braking, and steering of a vehicle is implemented through one integrated lever and buttons for starting and shifting of a vehicle are disposed on one case together with the integrated lever. Accordingly, the integrated control apparatus can be easily used for an autonomous driving vehicle.

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.

An apparatus for providing a user interface for platooning in a vehicle is provided. The apparatus includes a touch screen display, a communication circuit that communicates with the outside, and a control circuit electrically connected with the touch screen display and the communication circuit. The control circuit displays a first object corresponding to the vehicle and a second object corresponding to an outside vehicle included in a platooning group on the touch screen display and receives a touch input associated with the first object and the second object using the touch screen display. The vehicle is thus operated to adjust a distance between the vehicle and the outside vehicle in response to the touch input.
