  • Patent number: 11623636
    Abstract: A display device for a vehicle includes: an image display unit configured to display a direction indicating image that indicates a travel direction of the vehicle; and a control device configured to execute travel control of the vehicle. The direction indicating image is switchable between a first image that indicates a first travel direction of the vehicle and a second image that indicates a second travel direction of the vehicle, the second travel direction being opposite to the first travel direction. In a case where the control device switches the travel direction of the vehicle from the first travel direction to the second travel direction, the image display unit switches the direction indicating image from the first image to the second image based on a vehicle speed of the vehicle, a state of a power transmission device, and a steering state of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11623521
    Abstract: A parking assist system includes an acquiring unit, a display unit, and a control unit. In a case where the acquiring unit acquires information about an obstacle on a first target route during traveling of a vehicle along the first target route and thus the vehicle stops traveling along the first target route, the control unit tries to calculate a second target route to a target position from a position where the vehicle stops traveling along the first target route. Upon succeeding in calculating the second target route, the control unit causes the display unit to display surrounding information corresponding to the second target route. Upon failing to calculate the second target route, the control unit causes the display unit to display a notification about an operation method of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11548500
    Abstract: A parking assist system includes: a control device configured to execute a driving process for autonomously moving a vehicle to a target position; a steering operation member configured to receive a steering operation performed by an occupant; a vehicle state detecting device; and a notification device configured to make a notification to the occupant. In the driving process, the control device executes vehicle speed control and steering control. When, during execution of the driving process, the control device determines that the vehicle is a suspension state in which the driving process should be temporarily suspended, the control device causes the notification device to output a prescribed notification and executes a suspension process. In the suspension process, the control device executes the vehicle speed control to stop the vehicle and stops the steering control.

  • Patent number: 11548501
    Abstract: A parking assist system includes a control device. The control device continues an automatic parking process as a driver releases an operation on a brake pedal in a case where an obstacle is detected in a suspension area and an operation amount of the brake pedal has been equal to or more than a second threshold. The control device causes a brake device to stop a vehicle with a second brake force and suspends the automatic parking process in a case where the obstacle is detected in the suspension area and the operation amount of the brake pedal is less than the second threshold. The control device causes the brake device to stop the vehicle and cancels the automatic parking process in a case where the obstacle is detected in a cancellation area and the operation amount of the brake pedal is less than a first threshold.
