  • Patent number: 10895912
    Abstract: An apparatus (101), a method (1000), a system (120), a vehicle (103), a computer program (904) and a non-transitory computer readable medium (906) for controlling ahead-up display (102) of a vehicle (103) are disclosed. The apparatus (101) comprises control means (104) configured to obtain positional data representative of a position of an eye (105) of a user (106) of the vehicle (103), obtain environment data representative of the environment (107) external to the vehicle (103); and obtain status data representative of a current position (803) of the vehicle (103).

  • Patent number: 10564663
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a haptic pedal (10) for a vehicle (4). The pedal comprises a plurality of piezoelectric actuators (22) operable for providing haptic feedback to a driver through the footrest (18) and sensing means (26) for mapping the area of the footrest in contact with a driver's foot so that haptic feedback is delivered by selective activation of actuators in the mapped area. The invention also comprises a haptic feedback system including the haptic pedal (10) and a controller (6) for receiving an input from the sensing means (26) relating to the area of the footrest in contact with the driver's foot and for delivering an output to selectively activate piezoelectric actuators overlapping the contact area in dependence on a sensed state of the vehicle. The haptic feedback system may be implemented as part of the vehicle's navigation system.
