International Classification:

B60Q 1/50

Abstract:

A vehicle includes an obstacle detector detecting presence of a pedestrian in a forward path of the vehicle and transmitting a first signal indicative of the presence. A processing device is communicatively coupled to the obstacle detector and transmits a second signal in response to receiving the first signal. A display is mounted so as to be visible to the pedestrian and is communicatively coupled to the processing device. The display responds to receiving the second signal by providing a visible indication to the pedestrian that the pedestrian's presence has been detected by the vehicle.

G06F 3/00
H04N 7/18
G06F 3/01

Abstract:

A vehicle includes a camera directed generally toward a driver seat of the vehicle. The camera captures images within a passenger compartment of the vehicle. A text recognition module is communicatively coupled to the camera and recognizes text characters in the captured images. An electronic processor is communicatively coupled to the text recognition module and interprets the recognized text characters as text information, categorizes the text information, and enters the text information into an application within the vehicle.

G06F 3/0354

Abstract:

A vehicle includes a steering wheel having a capacitive touch sensor positioned and sized to be touched by a driver's thumb while the remaining fingers on the driver's hand are wrapped around an outer edge of the steering wheel. An electronic processor is communicatively coupled to the display screen and the capacitive touch sensor. The electronic processor zooms in on an image presented on the display screen in response to the driver's thumb being dragged in a first direction across the capacitive touch sensor. The electronic processor zooms out on an image presented on the display screen in response to the driver's thumb being dragged in a second direction across the capacitive touch sensor. The second direction is substantially opposite to the first direction.
