Abstract: In a method and control device for providing feedback to a vehicle occupant, a signal corresponding to current and/or upcoming movements of the vehicle is obtained when the vehicle is in an autonomous driving mode. The obtained signal is provided to a control device located within the cabin of the vehicle. The control device is moved corresponding to the provided signal. In an embodiment, an input of the occupant for an autonomous driving unit of the vehicle via the control device is received and a signal corresponding to the received input is submitted to the autonomous driving unit. The input may correspond to a maneuver request and/or to a selection of one of several autonomous driving-modes.

Abstract: An in-vehicle safety visualization system and method for coordinating driver alerts with a navigation system. Driver alert systems are interfaced with a display that is also used for depiction of navigation system images and information, allowing driver alerts to be shown at a location in which the driver's attention is likely to be directed, in addition to the locations dictated by the driver alert systems.
