An HMI control device, which controls an HMI device mounted on a vehicle. The HMI device presents information to a driver of the vehicle in a recognizable manner. The vehicle is capable of automated driving and travels following a preceding vehicle at a speed equal to or lower than a predetermined speed. The HMI control device is configured to: present attention information for calling attention of the driver when a congestion is determined to be cleared; acquire a behavior of the driver; and end a second task presented on the HMI device at an end timing corresponding to the behavior of the driver acquired after presentation of the attention information.

Driving control device and HMI control device

A human machine interface (HMI) device for presenting information recognizably by an occupant of a vehicle capable of autonomous driving is controlled. An acceleration and deceleration state, which is an execution status of acceleration and deceleration control in the vehicle during autonomous driving, is acquired. Acceleration and deceleration information relating to the acceleration and deceleration state is presented in a mode corresponding to the acceleration and deceleration state.

HMI control device and non-transitory computer readable storage medium

An HCU is to be used in a vehicle including an autonomous driving operation, and includes a function of a presentation control device that controls presentation of information to a driver of the vehicle. The presentation control device determines interruption of a second task other than driving permitted to the driver in an autonomous traveling period where the vehicle travels by the autonomous driving operation. Based on the interruption determination of the second task, the HCU changes a provision method of content provided in association with the second task in the autonomous traveling period.

Presentation control device, presentation control program, and driving control device

A display system changes display in accordance with a gesture of an operator in a vehicle. The display system includes a gesture detector that detects the gesture, a vision area detector that detects a vision area of the operator, a display that displays a gesture operation result that is an operation result of the gesture, and a display controller that executes a control related to display processing of the display. The display controller acquires the vision area detected by the vision area detector and a display area of the display, determines a positional relationship between the vision area and the display area, and displays the gesture operation result to the operator. The display controller determines a display mode of the gesture operation result based on the positional relationship between the vision area and the display area.

Display system

An HMI control device is configured to control an HMI device mounted in a vehicle, which is capable of performing an autonomous driving as a first task. The HMI control device is configured to: acquire a possible duration for the autonomous driving; and present, by the HMI device, a second task that an occupant on a driver's seat is able to start executing during the autonomous driving based on the possible duration acquired by the time acquisition unit.

HMI control device and storage medium thereof

An execution of a second task of a driver is assisted in cooperation with a user interface in an autonomous driving state in which a vehicle is an execution entity of a driving task. The second task is extracted, which is properly executable within task possible time estimated as time in which the second task is executable in a route to a destination of the vehicle. The second task extracted by the second task extracting unit is suggested through the user interface.

Second task execution assistance device and non-transitory computer readable storage medium

A vehicle switches between an autonomous driving state, in which the vehicle is responsible for implementing driving tasks including vehicle steering, vehicle driving, vehicle braking, and periphery monitoring, and a manual driving state or a driving assistance state, in which a driver of the vehicle is responsible for implementing at least one of the driving tasks. A processor implements the driving tasks based on a vehicle behavior plan, which indicates a vehicle behavior scheduled in the autonomous driving state, and generates a second task priority plan, which is the vehicle behavior plan until the driving mode is switched from the autonomous driving state to the manual driving state, such that a convenient finish time, at which a second task implemented by the driver in the autonomous driving state is conveniently finished, comes before the driving mode switching.

Driving control device and vehicle behavior suggestion device

An information presentation control device controlling information presentation to a driver in a vehicle equipped with autonomous driving function is provided. The information presentation control device is configured to: obtain a margin of the driver until an execution of driving change in which the driver takes over the at least partial driving task being performed by the autonomous driving; control a playback mode of a content presented by the information presentation device; stop the content, which is in a playback state, at a stop position in response to the execution of driving change; and set, according to the margin of the driver, a restart position of the content to which the content is rewound from the stop position to restart a playback of the content.
