VEHICLE NOTIFICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240343117 titled 'VEHICLE NOTIFICATION SYSTEM

The abstract of the patent application describes a vehicle notification system that includes a driving control ECU for autonomous driving operation and a display control ECU for controlling the instrument panel meter display and drawing display unit. The system notifies the driver through a lighting display unit that is activated by the driving control ECU, and further alerts the driver by displaying information on the drawing display unit when the lighting display unit is turned on.

  • The system includes a driving control ECU for autonomous driving operation.
  • A display control ECU manages the instrument panel meter display and drawing display unit.
  • A lighting display unit notifies the driver of the vehicle's status.
  • The lighting display unit is activated by the driving control ECU.
  • The drawing display unit shows information to the driver when the lighting display unit is on.
