1. A steering wheel system for a vehicle, comprising:
- a display; and
a controller configured to receive vehicle parameters from one or more vehicle sensors and receive geometric or navigability characteristics of the road, the controller generating a prediction of an effect of the vehicle parameters on the vehicle with respect to the geometric or navigability characteristics of the road, the controller configured to send a signal to the display based on the prediction,wherein the display is configured to display a representation of the prediction based on the signal received from the controller.

Abstract
A steering wheel system for a vehicle includes a display and a controller. The controller receives vehicle parameters from one or more vehicle sensors as well as geometric or navigability characteristics of the road. The controller generates a prediction of an effect of the vehicle parameters on the vehicle with respect to the geometric or navigability characteristics of the road. The controller sends a signal to the display based on the prediction. The display is configured to display a representation of the prediction based on the signal received from the controller.
