Abstract: A driving risk classification and prevention system for a vehicle being autonomously and manually driven, includes an orientation unit for confirming a location of the vehicle, an exterior sensing unit for sensing first information external to the vehicle, and an autonomous driving risk sensing unit for sensing second information which endanger autonomous driving of the vehicle. A communications unit is linked to the orientation unit for receiving third information corresponding to the location. A risk prevention unit is linked to the orientation unit, the exterior sensing unit, the autonomous driving risk sensing unit, and the communications unit. The risk prevention unit is used for generating a first index according to the first information, generating a second index according to the third information, generating a third index according to the second information, and determining whether a safety operation is performed according to the first index and the second index.

Abstract: A vehicle equipped with a driving assistance system with a low power mode, the vehicle includes an image capturing device and a processor. The image capturing device capture external scenes outside of the vehicle to generate a series of observing images. In a low power mode, the processor identifies a second vehicle and a plurality of features on exterior of the second vehicle, determines a reference vector corresponding to a travel direction of the second vehicle according to at least two features, and determines if a change of a detection value relating to the reference vector in the series of observing images exceeds a predetermined threshold. When the reference vector exceeds the predetermined threshold, the processor determines that the second vehicle has changed the travel direction.

Abstract: A vehicle equipped with a head-up display system is provided. The head-up display system includes an image source, a mechanically adjustable optic element, at least one reflector, and a control unit. The reflector is configured to reflect an image beam emitted from the image source to a transparent screen of the vehicle, wherein a user may perceive a virtual image through the transparent screen. The mechanically adjustable optic element is disposed in a propagation path of the image for adjusting an imaging distance of the virtual image. The control unit is used for controlling image parameters of the virtual image and is capable of adjusting the imaging distance of the virtual image but keeping at least one of the image parameters remaining the same before and after the change of the imaging distance.
