Sample Illustration of Augmented Reality Head-Up Display

Caption

Using speed, distance, and location, data obtained from remote sensing (cameras, sonar, lidar, GPS, etc.) and map databases, potential threats are evaluated. The slower moving vehicle ahead poses a collision hazard if the red danger zone is entered. Since sensor data confirm no overtaking traffic to the rear, a change in direction is suggested on the augmented reality head-up display (AR-HUD). Such augmented reality warnings and suggestions will normally appear infrequently--and often unpredictably--while the driver attends continuously to other tasks that require visual attention (monitoring traffic and road hazards, attending to signage, etc.)
