1. A driver assist system incorporated in a display device comprising:
- an accelerometer;
a controller in communication with the accelerometer, the controller configured to;
receive at least one acceleration signal from the accelerometer; and
calculate a direction of rotation of the display device relative to an operating direction of a vehicle based on the at least one acceleration signal, wherein the direction of rotation is utilized by the controller to calculate a drive side of the vehicle, wherein the drive side of the vehicle comprises a left-hand traffic direction and a right-hand traffic direction.
