Device and method for displaying a current driving mode of a vehicle, at least one of several driving modes of the vehicle is an autonomous driving mode. The device includes a display unit having a light source and an imaging unit interacting with the light source. A first controller controls the light source. The first controller is configured such that it meets a first technical qualification with regards to a reliability or safety criterion. The first controller only activates the light source in the event of the current presence of the autonomous driving mode. A second controller controls the imaging unit, the second controller is configured such that that it meets a second technical qualification with regards to the reliability or safety criterion. The first technical qualification corresponds to a higher degree of reliability or safety with regards to the reliability or safety criterion than the second technical qualification.

Display device

A vehicle lighting device includes at least one headlight, a position and/or acceleration sensor, and a control unit for adjusting a light/dark boundary of the headlight. Pitch movements of the vehicle can be detected by the position and/or acceleration sensor, and a change in the light/dark boundary due to the respective pitch movement can be compensated for by the control unit. The position and/or acceleration sensor and the control unit are arranged in the headlight or directly on the headlight.

A method for augmented depiction of at least one piece of additional information in at least one image of a surrounding environment, in particular a vehicle surrounding environment, is disclosed. The image forms a background of a display, where several pieces of additional information to be depicted are compiled into at least one group and are output as a piece of group information in the background.

Method and device for augmented depiction

A method for supporting a driver driving a vehicle involves monitoring an environment surrounding the vehicle, detecting road users at a crossing or intersection, and emitting indications concerning priority rules to the driver. The indications are emitted to the driver as symbols overlapping the surrounding environment on a display unit or overlapping an image of the surrounding environment.
