Abstract: A vehicle can produce a user interface that provides details about the autonomous driving benefits for a journey at the end of each trip and can keep a log of autonomous driving (AD) and manual driving (MD) history. The metrics that would be monitored and displayed may include one or more, but is not limited to, a time on the road, a time in traffic, money spent on electricity for a battery, a time in manual mode, a time in autonomous mode, multiple stops, hard accelerations, hard brakes, a time spent above the speed limit, routes taken, multiple stops along the way, regenerated energy, non-regenerated energy used, etc. The journey summary may include autonomous safety benefits that are unique to an AD vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle comprising a Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) control assembly for navigating a menu associated with an HVAC system of the vehicle, the menu controlling operation of the HVAC system. A multiple input tactile control device, interface, and system is provided. In addition to providing input by rotating the tactile control device, a user can provide input via touching a touchpad, actuating the touchpad, and/or actuating the tactile control dial in the linear axial direction.

Abstract: Methods and system of rendering a combined display including map and detected objects in environment surrounding a vehicle are provided. A display device or user interface combines active driver assist systems information and guidance data into one presentation of information that is overlaid onto a map. When a vehicle is in manual mode a user can easily and conveniently monitor all relevant driving data via the display device. A vehicle processor may receive map information from a navigation system and object data from vehicle sensors and systems monitoring an environment around a vehicle. This information may be fused together to form an integrated map presentation to be rendered to a display device associated with the vehicle. The map may be shown on an arrangement of multiple-plane surfaces that can resize and reshape to automatically and selectively enhance a level of detail in the presentation.
