Abstract: An information processing apparatus that sequentially executes a plurality of information processing steps, includes: a management section that manages the plurality of information processing steps by dividing the plurality of information processing steps into a plurality of processing groups; an information processing section that processes at least some of the plurality of information processing steps included in each of the plurality of processing groups in a selection order according to a predetermined rule, for each of the plurality of processing groups; a group progress image generating section that generates a progress display image representing a progress of processing of the plurality of information processing steps included in each of the plurality of processing groups; and a display control section that outputs and displays a screen in which the generated progress display image for each of the plurality of processing groups is arranged at each predetermined position in one screen.

Abstract: A method for the automatic operation of a vehicle in an autonomous driving mode not requiring user action is provided. This involves detection of a present traffic situation, a check whether the traffic situation fulfills a first criterion, and a blocking of a functionality which offers to a driver during the autonomous driving mode a secondary activity not related to driving the vehicle if the first criterion is fulfilled. A device for the automatic operation of a vehicle in an autonomous driving mode not requiring user action includes devices designed for carrying out the method for the automatic operation of a vehicle in an autonomous driving mode not requiring user action.
