This system for detecting the surrounding conditions of a moving body forcibly changes the state of at least one of a plurality of lighting devices (change from an unlit state to a lighting state or a blinking state, change in the emission color, or change in the luminance) installed inside the moving body, if an object to which attention must be paid during traveling of the moving body is detected in the surroundings of the moving body.

Compact, multi-function rotational controllers or switches that allow an operator of a vehicle to simultaneously view the status of a plurality of related functions, and to easily change or toggle the status of each of the functions. A multi-function controller of the present disclosure may include a rotatable central control dial that is at least partially surrounded by a visual indicator panel that indicates a current status for the functions that are controlled by the multi-function controller. The multi-function controller may include a selected function indicator that indicates which of the plurality of related functions is currently selected, control input hardware that receives operator input, and control circuitry that toggles the state of the selected function responsive to such operator input. The multi-function controller may include an “all functions off” function that allows the operator to simultaneously turn all of the related functions off via a single input action.

A vehicle is provided to analyze a signal received by a communicator and identify a first electronic device that transmits the received signal and a second electronic device that will transmit the received signal. The vehicle identifies a lighting algorithm that corresponds to an analysis result of the received signal and sequentially turns on a plurality of lighting devices based on the identified lighting algorithm.

A system is provided for illuminating the face of an occupant for a video call in a car. At least one light source has a main light emission direction (A) which is directed toward the face of the occupant. The system also includes a camera provided to record the face of the occupant. The system controls the light source in such a way to obtain a flickering free recording of the face of the occupant.

An object of the present invention is to provide a display device for a vehicle which brings a relation between a linear display section of a display panel placed at a dashboard and a linear lighting placed at the dashboard. A display device for a vehicle includes a display panel and a linear lighting placed at a dashboard of an automobile, a linear lighting placed on a lining of a door on a driver seat side, and a linear lighting placed on a lining of a door on a passenger seat side. The display panel is a panel with liquid crystal on its full range, and includes a linear display section which is continuous with an end of the linear lighting. The linear lighting and the linear display section are capable of linked light emission.

A method for the performance-enhancing driver assistance of a road vehicle on a track comprising the steps of: determining, in use, the current position and the current orientation of the road vehicle on the track by means of a tracking device; identifying an optimal trajectory in relation to the conformation of the track and/or the to road vehicle; determining, in use, a lateral deviation of the road vehicle from the optimal trajectory and/or an understeer/oversteer condition in curve; suggesting to the driver, by means of a haptic interface device arranged in such a way that it is perceivable by the driver and does not obstruct the driver's view of the road, depending on the lateral deviation and/or on the understeer/oversteer condition in curve, one or more actions to be performed in order to vary a lateral dynamic of the road vehicle in order to perform a mission which optimises the performance on the track.

A display device of a vehicle includes: a display provided inside of the vehicle; an interior lighting device lighting up an inside surface of a passenger compartment of the vehicle at an outside of the display; and a control device controlling the display and the interior lighting device. The control device is configured so that when a condition for moving display stands, the display is made to show a moving display element moving toward an outer circumference of the display, and so that when the moving display element reaches the outer circumference of the display, the interior lighting device lights up an inside surface of a passenger compartment of the vehicle so that a light part lit by the interior lighting device appears to move successively from the moving display element.
