  • Patent number: 11383732
    Abstract: A driver alert arrangement for a motor vehicle includes a sensor detecting that the motor vehicle is in motion and transmitting a signal indicative of whether the motor vehicle is in motion. A driver monitoring camera captures images of a human driver of the motor vehicle. An electronic processor is communicatively coupled to the sensor, the driver monitoring camera, and to a user interface. The electronic processor receives the signal from the sensor, receives the images captured by the driver monitoring camera, determines from the images where the driver is looking, and alerts the driver via the user interface that the motor vehicle is in motion. The alerting is dependent upon the signal and where the driver is looking.

  • Publication number: 20200191081
    Abstract: A driver alert arrangement for a motor vehicle includes a sensor detecting a level of carbon monoxide associated with the motor vehicle and transmitting a signal indicative of the detected level of carbon monoxide. An engine ignition has an ON state in which the engine ignition enables operation of an engine of the motor vehicle, and an OFF state in which the engine ignition disables operation of the engine of the motor vehicle. An electronic processor is communicatively coupled to the sensor and to the engine ignition. The electronic processor receives the signal from the sensor and controls whether the engine ignition is in the ON state or the OFF state dependent upon the signal.

  • Publication number: 20190161010
    Abstract: A display arrangement for a motor vehicle includes a camera capturing images of a scene in front of the motor vehicle. The camera transmits first video signals indicative of the captured images. A video processor is communicatively coupled to the camera and receives the first video signals. The video processor processes the first video signals to make objects in the first video signals easier to see, thereby producing second video signals. The video processor transmits the second video signals. A head up display system is communicatively coupled to the video processor and receives the second video signals. The head up display system reflects a light field off of a windshield of the motor vehicle such that the reflection is visible to a driver of the vehicle as a virtual image. The light field is dependent upon the second video signals.
