Methods, systems, and apparatuses for outputting situation-dependent, expanded warning information in a driver assistance system of a vehicle. The driver assistance system outputs situation-contingent, expanded warning information in the vehicle. A registration unit registers an output of warning information in an information-output unit of the vehicle. A sensor ascertains a degree of attentiveness of a driver of the vehicle. An electronic control unit controls an output in the vehicle such that, where a low degree of attentiveness of the driver has been ascertained, the output provides an expanded output of warning information in the vehicle.

Driver assistance system and method for outputting expanded warning information in the vehicle

A method provides a display of vehicle surroundings in a vehicle by detecting the degree of automation at which the vehicle is operated, selecting a set of additional information from one of multiple possible sets of additional information on the basis of the detected degree of automation, wherein each set of additional information includes a different number of pieces of additional information, each piece of additional information describes a display option which visualizes the current state of the vehicle and the corresponding vehicle surroundings, and a set of additional information selected for a low degree of automation includes less additional information than a set of additional information selected for a degree of automation which is higher than the low degree of automation; and displaying a view of the surroundings of the vehicle. The additional information of the selected set of additional information is visualized in the displayed view.

Method for displaying vehicle surroundings in a vehicle, and corresponding device

A method is disclosed for the contact-analog display of a navigation instruction for a driving maneuver, particularly a lane change, of a vehicle, wherein the driving maneuver can be carried out at any point of a cohesive driving route of a road. The method includes: contact-analog stationary displaying of the instruction at the beginning of the driving route for a first distance traveled by the vehicle; adapting the contact-analog display of the instruction to the change of position of the vehicle, so that the instruction changes its position corresponding to the change of position of the vehicle, for a second distance traveled by the vehicle; and contact-analog stationary displaying of the instruction at the end of the driving route, for a third distance traveled by the vehicle.
