  • Publication number: 20260249692
    Abstract: A driving behavior warning system and a driving behavior warning method are provided. The driving behavior warning system includes a driving behavior detection unit, an electrically controllable viewing angle display unit and a control unit. The driving behavior detection unit detects behavior information of a driver. The electrically controllable viewing angle display unit provides a display beam, and has a narrow viewing angle mode and a wide viewing angle mode, wherein a light emitting viewing angle range of the display beam in the narrow viewing angle mode is smaller than that in the wide viewing angle mode. When the behavior posture is an unconfirmed behavior and the vehicle driving state is a moving state, the control unit controls at least a portion of the electrically controllable viewing angle display unit to continuously switch between the narrow viewing angle mode and the wide viewing angle mode.
