Abstract: An automated driving system with assistance for a driver in performing a non-driving activity includes an assistance device configured to assist the driver in performing the non-driving activity. The automated driving system, in a first operating state controls the vehicle in an automated manner, and in a second operating state hands over control of the vehicle to the driver. The assistance device is configured to assist the driver in performing the non-driving activity if the automated driving system switches from the first operating state to the second operating state.

Abstract: A method for guiding a motor vehicle occupied by a driver during a vehicle journey in an automated manner by a driver assistance system includes: displaying, on an optical display apparatus of the driver assistance system, to the driver information from the driver assistance system relevant to the journey; and displaying the information relevant to the journey on the optical display apparatus by a plurality of different display pages assigned to different information classes. The display pages are displayed sequentially and in a stipulated order.

Abstract: A method for the output of information by an output unit in the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle on the basis of capturable personal data. Activation of an approach module is followed by initiation of person recognition, in which personal data from a person who is outside of the motor vehicle are captured by an ambient sensor system and are compared with stored personal data. If the captured personal data match stored personal data then output of information relating to the person is initiated by the output unit.

Abstract: A device for displaying a plurality of detectable variable quantities of a motor vehicle that are in a ratio to one another, each quantity represented by a band, and the bands being arranged relative to one another such that they form a variable geometric figure. The bands have a variable length depending on the deviation from an optimum ratio of the quantities to one another, and intersect in an intersection area.

Abstract: A system for actuating a passenger compartment control device of a force-transmitting device and a chassis control device of a motor vehicle, various functions of the devices are combined to form functional classes. The devices can be actuated simultaneously by a first selection of the functional classes.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system in a vehicle for assisting a driver of a vehicle when reversing, having at least one sensor unit which detects objects within the surroundings to the rear of the vehicle, having a computing unit which is connected to the sensor unit and has the purpose of processing the detected objects, and having an actuator unit which is connected to the computing unit. According to the invention, the computing unit generates a virtual driving tube within which the vehicle can move backward without colliding with the detected objects. The actuator unit is a steering actuator which is actuated by the computing unit and has the purpose of outputting haptic information which informs the driver of the vehicle about the steering direction, which is to be adopted next for reverse travel within the driving tube.

Abstract: An arrangement has a computing unit which is connected to a memory unit, an operator control device and a display device. The computing unit displays, on the display device, a first operator control display which is read out from the memory unit and is composed of at least two display elements, evaluates an operator control operation which is performed by means of the operator control device, and reads out a second operator control display, assigned to the operator control operation, from the memory device. In order to improve the ability to perceive the relationship between the first and the second operator control displays, at least one of the display elements from the first operator control display is also contained in the second operator control display (150), the at least one display element in the first operator control display differing from the second operator control display in at least one of its display properties.

Abstract: A motor vehicle cockpit display system includes display units for displaying information arranged at different positions in a passenger compartment of the motor vehicle. A control arrangement controls the content of the information which is respectively displayed on the display units. A recording device senses in a contactless fashion an assignment of a user's limb to a first display unit and a gesture-dependent change in the assignment to a further display unit. Information relating to the change in the assignment is fed to the control arrangement, and the further display unit can be actuated to display the information of the first display unit by the control arrangement in accordance with the change in the assignment.
