  • Publication number: 20240414510
    Abstract: A display control ECU includes an information acquisition section and a display control section. The information acquisition section acquires information relating to a peripheral target object that is present ahead of the vehicle and in a subject vehicle lane in which the vehicle is currently traveling, and information relating to an object requiring caution that is present outside of the subject vehicle lane and having implications for control during the autonomous driving. The display control section displays an image of the peripheral target object, regarding which information has been acquired by the information acquisition section on a heads-up display provided inside a cabin of the vehicle, and additionally displays on the heads-up display an image of the object requiring caution in a case in which information relating to the object requiring caution has been acquired by the information acquisition section.

  • Patent number: 12157488
    Abstract: An onboard display device is installed in a vehicle configured to enable autonomous driving. The onboard display device includes an information acquisition section and a display control section. In a case in which the vehicle attempts to merge from a traveling lane into a merging destination lane during autonomous driving, the information acquisition section acquires information regarding a point at which the attempt will be aborted, before the vehicle arrives at the point. The display control section displays the information regarding the point that is acquired by the information acquisition section, before the arrival at the point, at a display portion that is provided within a vehicle cabin of the vehicle.
