Abstract: A vehicle system and vehicle control method enabling notifications to be made for smoothing traffic involving a host vehicle, that is, a vehicle system having a processor for judging a running state of a host vehicle, wherein in case of the processor judges that a second running state in which the host vehicle will change in behavior compared with a first running state in which the host vehicle or other vehicles present in the surroundings of the host vehicle are currently running will occur due to a predetermined reason, alerts the outside of the alert content including the predetermined reason.

Abstract: The processor 162 of ECU 160 is configured to determine an action schedule of the vehicle capable of autonomous driving and notify two or more consecutive action schedules to surrounding other vehicles, and is configured to perform at least one of notifying the two or more consecutive action schedules from the vehicle to the outside by display or voice or having the two or more consecutive action schedules notified by display or voice in the surrounding other vehicles.

Abstract: A vehicle display device having a processor that controls a display unit provided in the host vehicle, wherein the processor is configured to execute following processes, generating a display content, causing the display content to display on the display unit visible from at least one other vehicle existing around a host vehicle, determining an autonomous driving level of the other vehicle, adjusting the display content and generating a first display content according to the degree of manual driving included in autonomous driving level, and causing the display unit to display the first display content.

Abstract: The information notification device includes a failure information detection unit that detects failure information that affects traveling of the host vehicle when the host vehicle is traveling, and a notification control unit that notifies the succeeding vehicle of at least one of the failure information and the behavior information related to the behavior of the host vehicle caused by the failure information via a display provided in the host vehicle so as to be visually recognized from the succeeding vehicle located behind the host vehicle.

Abstract: A potential collision risk between a vehicle and a potential traffic participant predicted to be present ahead in a direction of travel of the vehicle is foreseen. A first annunciation is performed notifying those in a vicinity that the vehicle is traveling, using an externally-directed annunciator installed in the vehicle, in response to the potential collision risk being foreseen. Note that when a manifested collision risk between the vehicle and a manifested traffic participant confirmed ahead in the direction of travel of the vehicle is sensed, a second annunciation notifying those in the vicinity regarding collision avoidance actions of the vehicle may be performed using the externally-directed annunciator. However, the first annunciation is prioritized over the second annunciation as long as the potential collision risk continues.

Abstract: The information notification device includes a failure information detection unit that detects failure information that affects traveling of the host vehicle when the host vehicle is traveling, and a notification control unit that notifies the succeeding vehicle of at least one of the failure information and the behavior information related to the behavior of the host vehicle caused by the failure information via a display provided in the host vehicle so as to be visually recognized from the succeeding vehicle located behind the host vehicle.

Abstract: An information notification device is provided with a notification control unit configured to notify a rear vehicle that a host vehicle is giving right of way to others via a first display provided in the host vehicle so as to be visually recognized from the rear vehicle in a stop state in which the host vehicle is stopped in order to give right of way to others.

Abstract: A notification device includes a calculation unit calculating, based on a speed of a vehicle, a vehicle stoppage distance by which the vehicle travels until the vehicle enters a stopped state while performing autonomous driving, a notification unit performing notification about information with respect to an outside of the vehicle, and a notification controller causing the notification unit not to perform notification about information indicating that the vehicle is in the middle of deceleration until the vehicle passes by a first soon-to-cross pedestrian and to cause the notification unit to perform notification about the information after the vehicle passes by the first soon-to-cross pedestrian when a distance between the vehicle and the first soon-to-cross pedestrian is smaller than the vehicle stoppage distance and a distance between the vehicle and a second soon-to-cross pedestrian is equal to or greater than the vehicle stoppage distance.

Abstract: A vehicle control device includes an external situation recognition unit configured to recognize a crossing person who crosses over a path of a vehicle and acquire information on the crossing person and information on an environment where the crossing person crosses, a scheduled departure time deciding unit configured to decide a scheduled departure time of the vehicle based on the information on the crossing person and the environment where the crossing person crosses when the crossing person is recognized by the external situation recognition unit, and an informing controller configured to perform a control to inform an outside of the vehicle of the scheduled departure time. The scheduled departure time deciding unit predicts a crossing completion time at which the crossing person recognized by the external situation recognition unit completes the crossing and decides the scheduled departure time based on the crossing completion time.

Abstract: A notification device provided in a vehicle including an autonomous driving system which causes the vehicle to travel by autonomous driving and to evacuate the vehicle when a failure occurs, includes a display unit configured to display information toward an outside of the vehicle, and a display controller configured to control the display unit. The display controller causes the display unit to be turned on or flicker when a failure occurs and changes a display of the display unit in at least one of a time when an evacuation starts and a time when an evacuation is completed.
