Abstract: A display control device for controlling display of a peripheral image indicating a traveling environment of a host vehicle based on information acquired by a sensor recognizes the traveling environment. The display control device includes an information acquisition unit and a display control unit. The information acquisition unit acquires at least type information indicating a type of a road and shape information indicating a lane shape of the road as road information related to the road around the host vehicle. The display control unit draws line images reproducing the road in the peripheral image based on the shape information. The display control unit changes a number of the line images drawn in the peripheral image based on the type information.

Abstract: A presentation control device is for a vehicle having an automated driving function capable of performing automated driving without driver's obligation to monitor surroundings. The presentation control device controls presentation of information related to the automated driving. The presentation control device includes a state grasping unit and a state notification unit. The state grasping unit grasps an execution pattern state selected from among execution patterns in the automated driving function. The execution patterns are included in the automated driving without the driver's obligation to monitor the surroundings. The state notification unit notifies a change of the execution pattern state when the execution pattern state changes while the automated driving without the driver's obligation to monitor the surroundings is continued. The state notification unit notifies a schedule of the change of the execution pattern state in advance before notifying the change of the execution pattern state.

Abstract: A vehicle display apparatus includes: a display that displays traveling information of a vehicle; an acquisition unit that acquires position information of the vehicle and traffic congestion information of an other vehicle that travels in a periphery of the vehicle; and a display controller that detects an occurrence of a traffic congestion from the position information and the traffic congestion information, and upon detecting the occurrence, displays, on the display, transition information related to transition to autonomous driving by using an image of at least one of a traveling road, the other vehicle, or the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle switches from a without-monitoring-duty automated driving without a duty of monitoring by a driver to a with-monitoring-duty automated driving with the duty of monitoring by the driver. A display control unit causes a display device to display a surrounding state image that shows a surrounding state of the vehicle. A mode identification unit identifies whether automated driving in a hands-on mode, which requires gripping of a steering wheel of the vehicle, or automated driving in a hands-off mode, which does not require gripping of the steering wheel, is performed when the vehicle is in the with-monitoring-duty automated driving. The display control unit differentiates display of the surrounding state image, when the vehicle switches from the without-monitoring-duty automated driving to the with-monitoring-duty automated driving, depending on whether the mode identification unit identifies the automated driving in the hands-on mode or the automated driving in the hands-off mode.

A cut-in prediction unit is configured to detect a sign of cut-in of an adjacent vehicle, which is adjacent to a subject vehicle as the vehicle, on determination by the traffic congestion determination unit that a traffic congestion occurs. A provision restricting unit is configured to restrict display of content provided in the automatic travel period on detection of a sign of cut-in of the adjacent vehicle by the cut-in prediction unit.

Abstract: When transitioning from both prohibition state that prohibit a specific action and a hand release during an execution of the autonomous driving to a specific action permission state that permits a driver to execute a specific action other than a driving operation, a presentation control device presents information indicating that the transition is allowable prior to information indicating that the transition is executed. When transitioning from a hand release permission state that prohibits the specific action and permits hand release from a steering wheel to the specific action permission state, the presentation control device presents the information indicating that the transition is allowable and the information indicating that the transition is executed at a same time.

Abstract: A presentation control device is configured to control information presentation to a driver of a vehicle. A determination unit is configured to distinguish between a monitoring interruption mode in which the driver is permitted to interrupt surroundings monitoring and a monitoring-required mode in which the driver is prohibited to interrupt the surroundings monitoring, and in the monitoring-required mode, between a hands-free permitted state and a hands-free prohibited state. A presentation control unit configured to perform the information presentation related to a mode transition from the monitoring interruption mode to the monitoring-required mode when the mode transition occurs. The presentation control unit is configured to perform the information presentation at an earlier timing when the monitoring interruption mode is transitioned to the hands-free prohibited state than when the monitoring interruption mode is transitioned to the hands-free permitted state.

Abstract: An HMI control device includes an automation level acquisition portion and a display control unit. The automation level acquisition portion acquires an autonomous driving level determined by a driving control device. The display control portion controls an image display operation of an HMI device according to the autonomous driving level acquired by the automation level acquisition portion. When terminating a high autonomous driving level as the autonomous driving level, the display control portion controls the HMI device to provide an action instruction display that instructs the driver to take a low-level associated state so as to handle a low autonomous driving level. The low autonomous driving level is the autonomous driving level under which an in-vehicle system including the driving control device is prohibited from performing at least one of a lateral motion control realized by performing steering and a longitudinal motion control realized by performing acceleration/deceleration.
