Vehicle information presenting apparatus
First Claim
1. A vehicle information presenting apparatus for use in an autonomous vehicle that switches driving control between autonomous driving control, in which the autonomous vehicle is driven autonomously, and manual driving control, in which the autonomous vehicle is driven manually by a driver, the vehicle information presenting apparatus comprising:
- a driving attention level estimator configured to estimate a driving attention level of the driver; and
an information presentation controller configured to switch image information to present to the driver according to the driving attention level of the driver estimated by the driving attention level estimator, whereinthe information presentation controller switches between autonomous driving system condition information and driving assistance information for transitioning from autonomous driving to manual driving.

14. A vehicle information presenting apparatus for use in an autonomous vehicle that switches driving control between autonomous driving control, in which the autonomous vehicle is driven autonomously, and manual driving control, in which the autonomous vehicle is driven manually by a driver, the vehicle information presenting apparatus comprising:
-
a driving attention level estimator configured to estimate a driving attention level of the driver; an information presentation controller configured to switch image information to present to the driver according to the driving attention level of the driver estimated by the driving attention level estimator; and a system condition determiner configured to determine an autonomous driving system condition, wherein the information presentation controller presents the autonomous driving system condition to the driver when the driving attention level of the driver is equal to or lower than a first predetermined value, the system condition determiner calculates a system confidence level for the system condition, and when the system confidence level is equal to or lower than a second predetermined value, the information presentation controller presents, to the driver, information indicating that the system condition is unfavorable.

15. A vehicle information presenting apparatus for use in an autonomous vehicle that switches driving control between autonomous driving control, in which the autonomous vehicle is driven autonomously, and manual driving control, in which the autonomous vehicle is driven manually by a driver, the vehicle information presenting apparatus comprising:
-
a driving attention level estimator configured to estimate a driving attention level of the driver; an information presentation controller configured to switch image information to present to the driver according to the driving attention level of the driver estimated by the driving attention level estimator; and an occupant condition detector configured to detect a condition of an occupant including the driver and thereby estimates the driving attention level of the driver, wherein the occupant condition detector includes a voice detector configured to detect voice in a vehicle compartment, and the driving attention level estimator estimates the driving attention level of the driver based on the voice detected by the voice detector.
