Devices, methods and computer program products that facilitate automated adjustment of size or configuration of head up display image in a vehicle. A device can include a memory and a processor that executes computer executable modules. The computer executable modules can include: a head up display that generates an image visible to a driver of a vehicle within an eye box, a detection module that determines position of the driver's eyes or head relative to position of the eye box, and an adjustment module that adjusts size or configuration of the image within the eye box in response to the determined driver's eye or head position.

Automated adjustment of head up display image in a vehicle

A communication interface between a driver of a vehicle and an at least partly autonomous drive system in the vehicle. The communication interface is configured to communicate a haptic performance loss signal to the driver when a performance loss is determined in the at least partly autonomous drive system.

Driver communication interface in an at least partly autonomous drive system

An interface arrangement is provided for use in a vehicle having an autonomous drive (AD) system. The interface arrangement is an interface between a user of the vehicle and the autonomous drive (AD) system. The interface arrangement includes a manually operated communication device movable between multiple predetermined positions and configured to input commands into the autonomous drive (AD) system. Each predetermined position of the manually operated communication device codes for a command to the autonomous drive system.

A method is disclosed for displaying a representation of a driving pattern of a vehicle. The method may include determining the driving pattern in the form of a condition involving excess fuel consumption of the vehicle, and displaying a representation of the excess fuel consumption on a display unit in the vehicle. The method may further include providing first input data related to an actual speed of the vehicle travelling along a route, providing second input data related to a reference speed for the route, calculating, based on the first and second input data, a measure of the excess fuel consumption as a result of the actual speed exceeding the reference speed, and presenting, on the display unit, the representation of the excess fuel consumption. A system is also disclosed for displaying a representation of a driving pattern of a vehicle.

A method is provided for graphic visualization of a propulsion energy level gauge relative to a vehicle range meter. A user interface system determines a current range of the vehicle based on a current remaining propulsion energy level of an energy storage device of the vehicle, and determines at least one hypothetical range of the vehicle based on at least one hypothetical level of remaining propulsion energy of the energy storage device. The graphic visualization is provided on a display, where the propulsion energy level gauge conveys the current remaining propulsion energy level and the hypothetical level of remaining propulsion energy, and the vehicle range meter conveys the current vehicle range and the hypothetical vehicle range. In the graphic visualization, the current remaining propulsion energy level is graphically associated with the current vehicle range, and the hypothetical level of remaining propulsion energy is graphically associated with the hypothetical vehicle range.

A control panel, in particular for motor vehicles, has a screen ( ) and, arranged on the latter, a number of control elements ( ) for controlling the function of works units which are connected to the control panel. A first group ( ) of control elements can be moved relative to the screen ( ) between a first position over the screen and a second position alongside the screen. In the first position, the screen is divided up into separate fields ( ) with different display information, and in the second position the whole screen forms a single field. It is possible to switch between these field divisions by moving the first group ( ) of control elements between the said positions.
