Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A vehicle display device having a processor that controls a display unit provided in the host vehicle, wherein the processor is configured to execute following processes, generating a display content, causing the display content to display on the display unit visible from at least one other vehicle existing around a host vehicle, determining an autonomous driving level of the other vehicle, adjusting the display content and generating a first display content according to the degree of manual driving included in autonomous driving level, and causing the display unit to display the first display content.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A vehicle display device having a processor that controls a display unit provided in the host vehicle, wherein the processor is configured to execute following processes: generating a display content; causing the display unit to display the display content visible from at least one other vehicle existing around a host vehicle; determining an autonomous driving level of the other vehicle; adjusting the display content and generating a first display content according to the degree of manual driving included in autonomous driving level; and causing the display unit to display the first display content. 2 . The vehicle display device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to execute following processes: causing the display unit to display the display content in case of determining result that the driver of the other vehicle is not affected by the display content based on the detection result of the position of the other vehicle. 3 . The vehicle display device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to execute following processes: causing the display unit to display the display content in case of the other vehicle is stopped. 4 . The vehicle display device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to execute following processes: in case of the processor determines that the other vehicle following the other vehicle is in a traveling mode following the host vehicle, the processor causes the display unit to display the display content regardless of the autonomous driving level. 5 . A display control method executed by a computer which controls the display unit provided in the host vehicle; the computer is configured to execute following processes: generating a display content; causing the display unit to display the display content visible from at least one other vehicle existing around a host vehicle; determining an autonomous driving level of the other vehicle; adjusting the display content and generating a first display content according to the degree of manual driving included in autonomous driving level; and causing the display unit to display the first display content.
