Abstract: A vehicle operator assisting apparatus is configured to assist an operator of an own vehicle by displaying an image of a virtual preceding vehicle visually recognizable by the operator as if the virtual preceding vehicle was running in front of said own vehicle in a running state. The assisting apparatus comprises: a history data base storing a driving history of said operator; a virtual preceding vehicle control portion determining a running state of said virtual proceeding vehicle based on said driving history generating portion generating a relationship between a distance between said own vehicle and an actual preceding vehicle, and a running speed of said own vehicle, and storing the relationship in said history database. Said virtual preceding vehicle control portion includes a driving characteristics extracting portion determining a distance between said own vehicle and said virtual preceding vehicle based on said relationship.

Abstract: A key for a vehicle is provided with a transmitting circuit and an electric power receiving/signal transmitting circuit. The transmitting circuit transmits a wireless SW signal by radio waves in a case in which an instruction switch is on. The electric power receiving/signal transmitting circuit receives electric power from an electric power transmitting circuit provided in a key cylinder for a vehicle at a vehicle, and transmits a transponder code signal in a case in which the electric power receiving/signal transmitting circuit receives the electric power. When the key for a vehicle is inserted in the key cylinder for a vehicle, a light emitting device provided in the key cylinder for a vehicle emits light. In a case in which a receiver provided at the transmitting circuit receives the light, transmission of the wireless SW signal is prohibited.
