Methods and apparatus are provided for performing an assisted driving trailer reversing operation including a camera operative to capture an image, an interactive user interface operative to display a graphical user interface and to receive a user input, a processor operative to generate the graphical user interface in response to the user input, the user input being indicative of a trailer destination, to generate a left maneuverability margin and a right maneuverability margin in response to a trailer dimension and a hitch angle, and a projected trailer path in response to the trailer destination, wherein the graphical user interface includes the image and a plurality of graphics overlaid on the image indicative of the left maneuverability margin, the right maneuverability margin, the projected trailer path and the trailer destination, and a vehicle controller operative to perform a trailer reversing operation in response to the control signal.

An apparatus includes a visual display to be viewed by a vehicle occupant. At least one drone includes a camera. A controller is configured to receive images from the camera on the at least one drone and generate an overhead view of the vehicle based on the images received from the at least one drone and display the overhead view on the visual display.

A parking assistance device includes an imager that captures an image of a surrounding of a vehicle, and a display that displays a guidance image for guiding the vehicle from a parking start position to a target parking position and displays a moving area in which the vehicle can move during a parking operation. An area and dimension of the moving area displayed on the display changes based on a change in a steering angle of the vehicle.

An assist method for coupling a motor vehicle to a trailer, wherein the motor vehicle includes a trailer coupling, at least one camera, a display, and an electronic unit, and wherein the trailer includes a tow bar for the trailer coupling. The assist method captures a first image of at least one tow bar of a trailer by the camera, displays the first image on the display, selects a first region in the first image in which the tow bar is located, enlarges the selected first region to produce a second image, displays the second image on the display, selects a second region in the second image in which the tow bar is located, and determines a trajectory of the motor vehicle for coupling the trailer assuming that the tow bar is located in the second region.

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.

An example system includes a processing resource and a switch board coupled to a system under test (SUT) and the processing resource. The SUT includes a memory device. The switch board can be configured to provide power to the SUT, communicate a first signal from the SUT to the processing resource, and provide a second signal to the SUT that simulates an input to the SUT during operation of the SUT. The processing resource can be configured to receive a function, selected from a library of functions, to execute during a test of the memory device and cause the switch board to provide the second signal during the test of the SUT.

A vehicular trailer assist system includes a camera disposed at a rear portion of a vehicle and viewing a portion of a trailer hitched at a hitch of the vehicle. During a reversing maneuver of the vehicle and hitched trailer, the vehicular trailer assist system, responsive to processing at an electronic control unit (ECU) of image data captured by the camera, determines a trailer angle of the trailer relative to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle. Based at least in part on the determined trailer angle, the vehicular trailer assist system determines a trailer direction of movement of the trailer while the vehicle is reversing with the trailer hitched at the hitch of the vehicle. The vehicular trailer assist system determines a virtual destination location rearward of the trailer and in the determined trailer direction and controls steering of the vehicle to reverse the trailer towards the virtual destination location.

A vehicular vision system includes a forward viewing camera at a windshield of a vehicle and a plurality of color cameras, and includes a display device operable to display video images derived from image data captured by the color cameras. A processing unit includes a first processing chip that has an image processor for machine-vision processing of captured image data, and a second processing chip that receives vehicle data and receives image data captured by the color cameras. The first processing chip machine-vision processes image data captured by the cameras for object detection and classification of objects. The first processing chip controls operating parameters of the color cameras to enhance object detection based on machine-vision processing by the first processing chip of image data captured by the color cameras. The second processing chip controls operating parameters of the color cameras for display at the display device of video images.

A vehicular vision system includes a camera disposed at a vehicle, at least one non-vision sensor disposed at the vehicle, and a display system of the vehicle that displays video images for viewing by the driver of the vehicle. Image data captured by the camera and sensor data sensed by the non-vision sensor are provided to a control of the vehicle. Responsive at least in part to processing at the control of image data captured by the camera, video images are displayed by a video display screen of the display system. The vehicular vision system determines an augmented reality overlay and the video display screen also displays the augmented reality overlay. The displayed augmented reality overlay pertains to at least one accessory of the equipped vehicle and/or is responsive at least in part to a driving condition of the equipped vehicle.

An automatic parking control unit comprises a recognizing section recognizing an outer world outside a vehicle, a vehicle operation control section performing an operation control on the vehicle, an automatic parking control section performing a parking operation to park the vehicle at a target parking position and a display control section synthesizing images taken by a camera group into an image of a surrounding area of the vehicle and displaying the image on an output device group. The display control section displays an image of the surrounding area of the vehicle and a vehicle body image of the vehicle with a portion of the vehicle made translucent, the portion of the vehicle making a blind area to a driver in the surrounding area of the vehicle and the portion of the vehicle is changed according to a direction in which the vehicle is running.
