A display control system of a vehicle includes a surround view module configured to generate a surround view including a predetermined top view image of vehicle and one or more features located within a predetermined area around the vehicle. A parking module is configured to selectively generate a parking signal when, for at least a predetermined period, a vehicle speed is less than a predetermined speed and at least one of: (i) an accelerator pedal position is less than a predetermined position; (ii) a brake pedal position indicates a request for vehicle braking; and (iii) a magnitude of a steering wheel angle is greater than a predetermined steering wheel angle. A display control module is configured to, in response to the generation of the parking signal, display the surround view on a display within the vehicle.

Display control systems and methods for a vehicle

A cleaning device is provided for a window element, which is insertably and retractably provided in a vehicle panel of a vehicle, with a cleaning element designed so as to rotate around its longitudinal axis, and with a feeder device to supply cleaning liquid to the cleaning element for cleaning the window element. A vehicle is also provided with such a cleaning device.

Vehicle display having a retractable screen and cleaning device

A vehicle environment monitoring system is disclosed which includes a people detection unit for detecting the presence of people in the environment of a vehicle and a danger signaler for generating danger signals of at least one first kind. A decision unit for deciding on the generation of a danger signal of the first kind when detecting a person by means of the people detection unit in dependence of the visibility of the person for the driver of the vehicle.

Vehicle environment monitoring system

A system and method for warning of a possible collision of a motor vehicle with an object is disclosed. The system includes sensors configured to monitor a driving path of the motor vehicle, and a warning unit configured to initiate a safety-related action when an object has been detected within the monitored driving path. A control unit dynamically adapts the monitored driving path or driving envelope as a function of vehicle parameters and/or environmental parameters. A method for warning of a possible collision of a motor vehicle with an object in accordance with this system is also disclosed.

A method and a device are provided for recognizing road signs in image data. The method includes, but is not limited to segmenting an object in the image data that is a road sign for a predefined probability. A text mapped in the segmented image data is identified using a text recognition method, where this text comprises numbers and/or words and/or abbreviations and/or combinations thereof. A probability value is determined for the text being depicted on a road sign and, in case the probability value is smaller than or equal to a predefined threshold value, is selected as a potential road sign. In case the probability value is greater than the predefined threshold value, a classifier is applied to the segmented image data for recognizing the object as an actual road sign.

Method and device for road sign recognition

A motor vehicle, comprising one or more sensors is provided. The one or more sensors are arranged on at least one pivoting device. The sensors are arranged on the at least one pivoting device in such a manner, that an orientation of the sensors can be panned or tilted relative to a vehicle longitudinal axis.
