User interface for displaying object-based indications in an autonomous driving system
First Claim
1. An autonomous driving system of a vehicle, the autonomous driving system comprising:
- a first display configured to provide an indicator identifying whether the autonomous driving system is engaged in an autonomous mode;
a second display configure to display navigation functionality of the autonomous driving system;
an object detection system configured to detect object information of one or more objects in proximity to the vehicle, the object detection system including at least one of a laser, a camera, radar and sonar;
a vehicle control system configured to control one or more of braking, acceleration, steering and signaling of the vehicle while in the autonomous mode;
a user input device configured to receive input regarding the autonomous mode; and
one or more processors operatively coupled to the first display, the second display, the object detection system, the vehicle navigation system, and the user input device, the one or more processors being configured to;
receive detected object information of the one or more objects from the object detection system;
identify a position and speed of a given one of the one or more objects relative to a current position and speed of the vehicle based on the received detected object information;
generate a notification image corresponding to one or more peripheral areas external to the vehicle;
update the notification image by modifying at least one peripheral area of the notification image when a first threshold condition of the identified position and speed of the given object relative to the current position and speed of the vehicle is met;
cause the updated notification image to be displayed on either the first display or the second display;
generate a warning indicator for the given object when a second threshold condition of the identified position and speed of the given object relative to the current position and speed of the vehicle is met; and
cause the updated notification image and the warning indicator to be displayed on either the first display or the second display, the warning indicator being displayed separate from the updated notification image.

Abstract
A vehicle has a plurality of control apparatuses, a user input, a geographic position component, an object detection apparatus, memory, and a display. A processor is also included and is programmed to receive the destination information, identify a route, and determine the current geographic location of the vehicle. The processor is also programmed to identify an object and object type based on object information received from the object detection apparatus and to determine at least one warning characteristic of the identified object based on at least one of: the object type, a detected proximity of the detected object to the vehicle, the location of the detected object relative to predetermined peripheral areas of the vehicle, the current geographic location of the vehicle, and the route. The processor is also configured to select and display on the display an object warning image based on the at least one warning characteristic.
