Abstract

An adaptive instrument display includes an instrument cluster displaying a plurality of gauges. A steering wheel has at least one sensor, and there is at least one camera. A processor collects data from the at least one camera and steering wheel sensor and determines a steering wheel position and an occupant's line of sight. An obstructed portion of the instrument cluster is determined based on the steering wheel position and the occupant's line of sight, and the gauges on the instrument cluster are altered based on the obstructed portion.
