Abstract: A driving assistance system includes: a planned travel route obtaining unit that obtains a planned travel route for a vehicle; a switching point obtaining unit that obtains a switching point from a driving assistance section to a non-assistance section on the planned travel route; and a guide control unit that displays an indication for announcing switching from the driving assistance section to the non-assistance section, from a point shifted to a near side by a predetermined section from the switching point on the planned travel route.

Abstract: A driving assistance system includes a planned travel route acquirer, a driving assistance section acquirer, and a guide controller. The planned travel route acquirer acquires a planned travel route for a vehicle. The driving assistance section acquirer acquires a driving assistance section on the planned travel route. The guide controller presents at least one icon indicating a point of switching between the driving assistance section and a non-assistance section on the planned travel route.

Abstract: Intersection guide systems, methods, and programs acquire information on a path of a vehicle and acquire a travel direction of the vehicle at a guide intersection ahead of the vehicle on the basis of the information on the path. The systems, methods, and programs display a guide image that represents the travel direction superimposed on a portion of a forward scene ahead of the vehicle other than an image of the guide intersection, and a connection line image as superimposed on the forward scene, the connection line image connecting between the image of the guide intersection in the forward scene and the guide image. The connection line image is superimposed on the forward scene such that a length of the connection line image becomes shorter as a degree of approach of the vehicle to the guide intersection becomes larger.

Abstract: Automated drive assisting systems, methods, and programs acquire a non-execution reason, for which automated drive control cannot be executed, in the case where the automated drive control cannot be executed during travel in an automated drive section in which the automated drive control for a vehicle is permitted. The systems, methods, and programs provide guidance on the acquired non-execution reason, and determine whether or not the non-execution reason is a reason that is avoidable by a drive operation by a driver of the vehicle. The systems, methods, and programs provide, in the case where it is determined that the non-execution reason is a reason that is avoidable by a drive operation by the driver, guidance on a drive operation for avoiding the reason.

Abstract: An autonomous vehicle driving assist system, method, and program set a planned route of a vehicle, the planned route including an autonomous driving section where autonomous driving control of the vehicle is permitted, and set a transition exclusion section of the planned route where a transition from autonomous driving control to manual driving is determined to be difficult. The system, method, and program set a transition section of the planned route where the transition from autonomous driving control to manual driving is made, and which excludes the transition exclusion section. Based on the transition section, the system, method, and program determine a section where autonomous driving control is performed in the planned route.

Abstract: Intersection guide systems, methods, and programs acquire information on a vehicle path, acquire a vehicle travel direction at a guide intersection ahead of the vehicle based on the information on the path, and cause a display to transition from a first display state to a second display state when a degree of approach of the vehicle to the guide intersection becomes equal to or more than a threshold. In the first display state, the display displays a guide image that represents the travel direction superimposed on a portion of a forward scene ahead of the vehicle other than the guide intersection, and displays a connection line image superimposed on the forward scene that connects between the guide intersection in the forward scene and the guide image. In the second display state, the display displays the guide image superimposed on the guide intersection in the forward scene.

Abstract: A display control unit that causes a display unit to display a front image on which a guide line is superimposed, wherein the guide line has a front end point that indicates a position inside a recommended lane and has a rear end point that indicates a position rearward of the front end point, is provided. When the vehicle is in a lane change state, the display control unit sets a position of the rear end point in the front image such that the rear end point indicates a central position in a width direction of the vehicle, and, when the vehicle is not in the lane change state, the display control unit sets a position of the rear end point in the front image such that the rear end point indicates a central position in a width direction in the travelling lane.

Abstract: A determination unit that determines whether a vehicle is in a lane change state where the vehicle is going to make a lane change from a travelling lane to a recommended lane; and a display control unit that causes a display unit to display the front image on which a guide line is superimposed, wherein the guide line has a front end point and a rear end point, are provided. In the lane change state, the display control unit sets a position of the rear end point in the front image such that the rear end point indicates a central position in a width direction of the vehicle, and, not in the lane change state, the display control unit sets a position of the rear end point in the front image such that the rear end point indicates a central position in a width direction in the travelling lane.
