This display system which is provided in a vehicle comprises: a road surface drawing device that is configured so as to emit a light pattern (L) toward a road surface outside the vehicle; an HUD that is located inside the vehicle and configured so as to display HUD information to an occupant of the vehicle such that the HUD information is overlaid on real space outside the vehicle; and a display control unit that is configured so as to control the road surface drawing device. The display control unit is configured so as to control the emission of the light pattern (L) in accordance with an input operation by the occupant in an HUD display area (D) where the HUD information can be displayed.

Vehicle display system, vehicle system, and vehicle

Provided is a LiDAR sensor unit in which even when a lens element is provided, measurement data is less likely to be affected by the lens element. A LiDAR sensor unit has: a LiDAR sensor; a lens element that is provided on an optical path of light emitted from the LiDAR sensor; and a processing unit that outputs measurement data which has been measured by the LiDAR sensor and which includes the orientation and the distance of a measurement subject. The processing unit is configured to not output measurement data of a specific orientation which is the same but the distance corresponding thereto differs before and after attachment of the lens element under the same environment.

LiDAR sensor unit and vehicle security system

A vehicle cleaner unit is configured to clean a cleaning object mounted near a bumper or a grille of a vehicle. The vehicle cleaner unit includes a blower configured to be attached to a rear surface of the bumper or the grille. The bumper or the grille is provided with an air outlet for jetting air blown from the blower toward the cleaning object.

Vehicle cleaner unit and vehicle cleaner system

A vehicle display system, which is provided in a vehicle, includes a first display device configured to emit a light pattern toward a road surface outside the vehicle; and a second display device located inside the vehicle and configured to display predetermined information toward an occupant of the vehicle such that the predetermined information is superimposed on a real space outside the vehicle.

Vehicle display system and vehicle

A vehicle display system provided to a vehicle, includes a first display device, a second display device, and a display control unit. The first display device is configured to emit a light pattern toward a road surface outside the vehicle. The second display device is located inside the vehicle and configured to display predetermined information toward a passenger in the vehicle so that the predetermined information is superimposed on a real space outside the vehicle. The display control unit is configured to control the first display device. The display control unit is configured to control emission of the light pattern according to a passenger's input operation on a display area where the predetermined information can be displayed.

A display system is provided in a vehicle and includes: an HUD positioned inside the vehicle and configured so as to display, on the vehicle window, a surrounding environment video indicating the environment surrounding the vehicle; and a display control unit controlling the HUD such that the surrounding environment video is displayed on the window in accordance with prescribed conditions associated to the vehicle or the environment surrounding the vehicle and configured so as to reduce the transmittance of the window.

A left front camera () is adapted to be mounted on a left front lamp (LF) of a vehicle to obtain external information of at least ahead of the vehicle. A right front LiDAR sensor (), a type of which is different from the camera (), is adapted to be mounted on a right front lamp (RF) of the vehicle to obtain external information of at least ahead of the vehicle.

Sensor system

A LiDAR sensor () is configured to sense information of an outside of a vehicle. An ultrasonic sensor () is configured to sense information of the outside of the vehicle in a different manner from the LiDAR sensor (). A first bracket () supports the LiDAR sensor () and the ultrasonic sensor (). A first sensor actuator () is configured to adjust a sensing reference position of the LiDAR sensor () relative to the first bracket (). A second sensor actuator () is configured to adjust a sensing reference position of the ultrasonic sensor () relative to first bracket (). A first bracket actuator () is configured to adjust at least one of a position and a posture of the first bracket () relative to the vehicle.

Sensor system, sensor module, and lamp device

A translucent cover () defines a lamp chamber () together with a housing () while forming a portion of an outer face of a vehicle. A LiDAR sensor () is disposed in the lamp chamber () to detect external information of the vehicle. A half mirror () is disposed in the lamp chamber () so as to cover the LiDAR sensor () from a side where the translucent cover () is disposed. The translucent cover () has a first transparency to visible light. The half mirror () has a second transparency to the visible light that is lower than the first transparency.

Lamp device, sensor system, and sensor device

A light source () is configured to emit light for lighting a predetermined area. A LiDAR sensor () is configured to sense information of an outside of a vehicle. A first screw mechanism () is configured to adjust posture of the light source (). A second screw mechanism () is configured to adjust posture of the LiDAR sensor (). Adjustment by one of the first screw mechanism () and the second screw mechanism () is performed on the basis of adjustment that has been performed by the other one of the first screw mechanism () and the second screw mechanism ().
