  • Publication number: 20240300459
    Abstract: A brake control device includes a processor that controls a brake device of a vehicle. The processor receives a first braking request indicating first braking force by the brake device which is requested from an application that implements a driver assistance function of the vehicle. The processor receives a second braking request indicating second braking force by the brake device which is requested depending on an operation amount of a brake pedal of the vehicle. The processor starts override control when the processor receives the second braking request while the processor controls the brake device in accordance with the first braking request.

  • Patent number: 11376964
    Abstract: A vehicle display device includes a display device, a reflecting mirror, an optical sensor configured to detect external light, and a controller configured to enable execution of a temperature lowering operation. The display device includes a light transmissive liquid crystal display unit disposed on an optical path of light emitted from a light source and a first optical member disposed between the liquid crystal display unit and the light source and configured to change an optical path of light that enters the first optical member from the light source and passes therethrough toward the liquid crystal display unit. The optical sensor is disposed on an optical path of the external light incident on the display device at a side opposite to the liquid crystal display unit across the first optical member. The first optical member includes a passage on an optical path through which the external light passes.
