A position in a left-right direction of a display position of a facility figure representing a facility is set to a position overlapping with a virtual line parallel to a traveling lane as viewed from a driver (c). A position in an up-down direction of the display position is determined to be a position overlapping with a road surface on the front side, the position separated upward by H1 from a lower end of a display area of a heads-up display when a distance L from a current position CP to a position TP of a facility is a distance ThL (b1), to be a position separated by H4 (H4<h1) when the distance L is zero, and such that distances H2 and H3 separated upward from the lower end of the display area gradually change from the distance H1 to the distance H4 as the distance L decreases from the distance ThL to zero (b2 and b3). The distance H1 is set such that the facility figure is displayed below a point facing the facility on the road surface on the front side when the distance L is the distance ThL.

A display control device configured to control a head-up display that projects an image onto an area ahead of a driver to display the image such that the image that is a virtual image is superimposed on an actual view. The display control device includes a controller. The controller is configured to execute control such that a highlighting image that highlights a specific object present ahead of a vehicle is displayed when a warning against the specific object is given to the driver. The specific object is detected based on traveling situation information regarding a traveling situation of the vehicle. The traveling situation information based on an output from a vehicular sensor including an on-board camera.

A method for displaying a trajectory course in front of a transportation vehicle or object. The trajectory course is shown on a display unit and is represented in grid format. The points of the grid are represented by symbols, wherein only the border thereof or the completely filled-in symbols are represented based on the environmental features. The size and/or color of the symbols is adjustable.

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.

Systems and methods directed to recognizing, displaying, identifying, and labeling of an object along a direction of motion of the autonomous along a road is disclosed. In some embodiments, an autonomous vehicle with a light projector is disclosed, where the light projector is on a top surface of an autonomous vehicle. Additionally, in some embodiments, the autonomous vehicle may include an electronic control unit for controlling an operation of the light projector, where the electronic control unit detects whether the autonomous vehicle is turned on. In further embodiments, the electronic control unit receives data of an environmental condition surrounding the autonomous vehicle and receives an upcoming trajectory path of the autonomous vehicle. The electronic control unit may also project a light from the light projector onto a surface of a road indicating an adjusted direction of motion of the autonomous vehicle based on confirmation by the occupant of the identifying and the labeling of the object utilizing one or more autonomous vehicle actions.

An information provision device and an information provision method. Each of the information provision device and information provision method includes projecting an image light to a light transmission member so as to display a for-driver information image, sensing a relative distance of an object to be detected existing around the mobile object in the direction of travel, detecting a location of a viewpoint of the driver, and changing a position at which an object image indicating the object to be detected is displayed according to a result of the detecting so as to change a perception distance of the driver influenced by a motion parallax of the object image according to the relative distance of the object to be detected in the direction of travel.

A virtual lane generating method and device is provided. The virtual lane generating method includes determining validity of lane detection information extracted from an image in front a vehicle, and generating a virtual lane based on an object included in the image, in response to a determination that the lane detection information is not valid.

A vehicle hitching assistance system including a controller determining a trailer target area to a rear of the vehicle. The trailer target area is positioned within left and right lateral vehicle steering limits, defined in a lateral direction between left and right boundaries respectively spaced inwardly of the left and right lateral vehicle steering limits by one of a system perception factor or a vehicle geometry factor, and defined in a longitudinal direction between a minimum movement limit and a maximum perception limit. The controller further identifies a trailer coupler within the trailer target area and outputs a steering signal to the vehicle to cause the vehicle to steer to align a hitch ball of the vehicle with the coupler during movement of the vehicle.

Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for presenting an Augmented Reality (AR) visualization of an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS). A viewing device integrated into a vehicle gathers sensor data from one or more sensors. The sensor data describes a speed and trajectory of the vehicle and a geographic location of a physical object in relation to the vehicle. The viewing device determines, based on the sensor data, that a threat level of the vehicle colliding with the physical object meets or exceeds a threshold threat level. In response to determining that the threat level of the vehicle colliding with the physical object meets or exceeds the threshold threat level, the viewing device determines an automated movement of the vehicle to avoid colliding with the physical object. The viewing device then presents, on a heads up display of the vehicle, virtual content depicting the automated movement, and executes the automated movement.

The display system displays a virtual image as if it is at a target position in a target space. The system satisfies a condition where |1/L11/L2max| is larger than 0 but is equal to or smaller than 0.06. L1 [m] denotes a display distance defined as a distance from a point-of-view position for the virtual image to a display position of the virtual image. L2max [m] denotes a maximum value of a target distance defined as a distance from the point-of-view position to the target position.
