A control unit is provided in a wearable terminal mounted on a head of an occupant of a vehicle, and controls a display unit that is positioned immediately before an eye of the occupant when the wearable terminal is mounted on the head and can display a plurality of types of object images, and the control unit decides whether or not to display a specific object image that is a predetermined object image on the display unit based on at least one of information on a line of sight of the occupant and information on a swing of the occupant.

Vehicle display control device

The storage unit stores first feature point information of the AR glasses obtained by photographing the AR glasses with a camera (tracking camera or camera) and extracting features. Further, the specifying unit combines second feature point information obtained by photographing the AR glasses brought into the car with a tracking camera and extracting features with the first feature point information stored in the storage unit. The position of the AR glasses brought into the vehicle is determined based on the verification results.

Vehicle control device

An extraction unit of a mobile terminal extracts a plurality of feature points from within a shooting range of a camera, based on shooting results of the camera provided on AR glasses. A determination unit determines a boundary between a first region corresponding to an inside of a vehicle cabin and a second region corresponding to an outside of the vehicle cabin within the shooting range of the camera based on discontinuity of movement vectors of the feature points when a vehicle moves. A specifying unit specifies a position of the AR glasses based on a determination result by the determination unit.

A device for a towing vehicle that includes: a drive unit that independently drives each of left and right wheels of a towing vehicle that tows a towed vehicle; an acceleration detection unit that detects an acceleration of the towing vehicle; a drive force detection unit that detects a drive force of the towing vehicle; a mass estimation unit that estimates a mass of the towed vehicle using respective detection results generated by the acceleration detection unit and the drive force detection unit at a time of acceleration of the towing vehicle in a towing state; and a control unit that controls a drive force of the left and right wheels of the towing vehicle in consideration of an influence of the mass of the towed vehicle estimated by the mass estimation unit at a time of turning of the towing vehicle in the towing state.

Device for towing vehicle and method of controlling device for towing vehicle

A vehicle operating device including an operating member operable by a driver and configured to: issue, to a drive system, a command to apply a drive force in a forward direction when a first-direction operation of the operating member from its neutral position in a first direction is performed in a state in which the vehicle is at a stop or running forward; issue, to the drive system, a command to apply a drive force in a backward direction when a second-direction operation of the operating member from the neutral position in a second direction different from the first direction is performed in a state in which the vehicle is at a stop or running backward; and issue, to a brake system, a command to apply a braking force as an opposite-direction-operation-dependent braking force when the second-direction operation is performed in a state in which the vehicle is running forward.
