The present disclosure relates to a portable, hand held and/or mountable control device for remote controlling at least one device provided by a vehicle. The control device comprises one or more control applications and indicator icons on a touch sensitive display and one or more motion and orientation detection sensors. The control application provided as keys on the display is selected based on user input and based on the user selected control application the device to be controlled can be controlled wirelessly by voice, steering tilt or motion based operation of the control device. Additionally, the control device can determine a fault or a correct completion of controlling by monitoring the devices. The present disclosure also provides a method for remote controlling the at least one device provided by the vehicle.

Provided are a rear camera and a door camera provided at different positions and configured to image vehicle surroundings rearward from a vehicle, and a monitor configured to display a composite image merging captured images captured by the respective cameras and to display a blind spot advisory image to advise of a blind spot in the composite image.

A vehicular blind spot detection system for alerting a driver of a motor vehicle to an object in a blind spot zone of the vehicle includes a sensor configured to detect the presence of an object proximate to the vehicle in the blind spot zone. A first indicator is disposed on an outside rearview assembly and is configured to indicate that an object is in the blind spot zone of the vehicle. A controller is operably coupled with at least one of the sensor and the first indicator, wherein the controller may be activated and deactivated by a user. A second indicator is disposed proximate the first indicator and is configured to indicate that the controller has been deactivated.

Embodiments of the present invention provide an Augmented Reality (AR) method and apparatus for driving assistance, which are applied in the technical field of AR. The method comprises the steps of: determining, based on information acquired during the driving process, driving assistance information, and displaying virtual three dimensional (3D) display information corresponding to the driving assistance information. In the present invention, the AR technology can be applied in the vehicle travelling process to assist a driver in better mastering driving information in the vehicle travelling process, and the user experience can be improved.

According to one embodiment, a display system includes a display device that displays an image rearward of a vehicle, a first illuminance sensor that detects the brightness around the vehicle, and a second illuminance sensor that detects the intensity of the light emitted onto the front surface of the display device, and the display device includes a housing with an opening on the front side, an electro-optic layer with a transmissive-reflective layer that transmits a portion of incident light and reflects another portion of the incident light, the electro-optic layer being configured to vary the reflectivity of the incident light, a display placed on the rear side of the electro-optic layer and configured to display at least a portion of the rearward image of the vehicle, and a control circuit that controls the brightness of the display based on a value of at least one of first illuminance and second illuminance.

The switch structure provided in a control device of a vehicle ceiling part comprises a cover that is openable and closable between a closed position to cover a switch and an opened position to open the switch, and in the cover, a region that covers an operation surface of an operation element of the switch in at least the closed position is formed of a member that transmits light, and the cover has a top surface comprising an inclined portion inclined at an upward gradient from a vehicle front toward a vehicle rear in the closed position.

A display device includes a first polarizing plate including a first polarization region and a first design region, a second polarizing plate including a second polarization region and a second design region, and a third polarizing plate including a third polarization region. A transmittance of light oscillating in a first direction of the polarization regions is maximized, and the design regions are transparent to light regardless of the oscillation direction of light. The first and second polarizing plates are arranged at a distance from each other along a path of the light, the first direction in the first polarization region and the first direction in the second polarization region are different from each other. The third polarizing plate is arranged such that the first direction in the third polarization region is positioned between the first direction in the first polarization region and the first direction in the second polarization region.

An interior rearview mirror assembly for a vehicle includes a minor head pivotable about a minor support, which is configured to attach at an interior portion of the vehicle. The mirror head includes a mirror reflective element having a transflective mirror reflector that at least partially reflects light incident thereon and at least partially transmits incident light therethrough. A video display device is disposed behind the minor reflective element and includes a display screen backlit by a backlighting device, with the backlighting device including a plurality of micro-LEDs. With the minor support attached at the interior portion of the vehicle, the video display device is operable to display video images captured by a camera of the vehicle, whereby light emitted by the video display device passes through the mirror reflective element for viewing displayed video images.

A head-up display system for a motor vehicle includes a projection unit for providing a display image; a transparent holographic light guide display panel with a display surface in order to output a display image coupled into the display panel via a coupling-in region on a display surface, and a light guide which runs in a non-linear manner in order to guide a display image from the projection unit to the coupling-in region of the display panel.

A vehicle control device includes: a surrounding recognizer that is configured to recognize a surrounding environment of a vehicle; a lane change controller that is configured to perform lane change control of the vehicle by controlling at least steering of the vehicle; a side mirror that is configured to reflect an image of a landscape of a rear side of the vehicle including an adjacent lane adjacent to an own lane in which the vehicle is running and allows a vehicle occupant of the vehicle to visually recognize the image; a display unit that is disposed in the side mirror; and a display controller that is configured to cause the display unit to display a notification image used for giving a notification of execution of the lane change control.
