Specification

WE CLAIM:
1. A display system comprising:
a plurality of display devices provided in a vehicle interior;
an information acquisition unit for acquiring information inside and outside a vehicle;
an estimation unit for estimating a vehicle situation that is likely to occur at a later time from a current time on a basis of the information acquired by the information acquisition unit; and
a display control unit for displaying the vehicle situation estimated by the estimation unit on a first display device and a second display device included in the plurality of display devices, and controlling display content in such a manner that display content of the second display device includes a vehicle situation that is likely to occur at a later time with respect to the vehicle situation displayed on the first display device.
2. The display system according to claim 1,
wherein the first display device is provided at a position closer to a gaze of an occupant in a driver's seat while the vehicle is traveling than the second display device.
3. The display system according to claim 1,
wherein the display control unit displays the vehicle situation estimated by the estimation unit on a third display device included in the plurality of display devices, and controls the display content in such a manner that display content of the third display device includes a vehicle situation that is likely to occur at a later time with respect to the vehicle situation displayed on the second display device.
52

4. The display system according to claim 3,
wherein the second display device is provided at a position closer to a gaze of an occupant in a driver's seat while the vehicle is traveling than the third display device.
5. The display system according to claim 1,
wherein the display control unit controls the display content in such a manner that a vehicle situation that is likely to occur at a later time is included on a basis of the information acquired by the information acquisition unit.
6. The display system according to claim 5,
wherein the display control unit changes a display angle of view so as to include a vehicle situation that is likely to occur at a later time.
7. The display system according to claim 1,
wherein the display control unit controls the display content in such a manner that, when the vehicle turns right or left, a vehicle situation that is likely to occur at a later time in a direction in which the vehicle turns is included.
8. The display system according to claim 5,
wherein the display control unit controls the display content in such a manner that a vehicle situation that is likely to occur at a later time is included on a basis of information about a vehicle state acquired by the information acquisition unit.
9. The display system according to claim 8,
53

wherein the information about the vehicle state includes at least one of a vehicle speed, an accelerator operation amount, a brake operation amount, and a set inter-vehicle distance.
10. The display system according to claim 5,
wherein the display control unit controls the display content in such a manner that a vehicle situation that is likely to occur at a later time is included on a basis of information about an occupant in a driver’s seat acquired by the information acquisition unit.
11. The display system according to claim 10,
wherein the information about the occupant in the driver's seat includes at least one of a degree of attention of the occupant in the driver’s seat to front, a degree of experience of the occupant in the driver’s seat in automatic driving, a psychological state of the occupant in the driver’s seat, a degree of uneasiness of the occupant in the driver’s seat, an age of the occupant in the driver’s seat, and an eyesight or hearing of the occupant in the driver’s seat.
12. The display system according to claim 5,
wherein the display control unit controls the display content of the plurality of display devices on a basis of a vehicle driving mode acquired by the information acquisition unit.
13. The display system according to claim 12,
wherein the display control unit controls the display content of the plurality of
54

display devices in such a manner that, when the vehicle driving mode is a manual driving mode, a vehicle situation that is likely to occur at a later time is included, compared with an automatic driving mode.
14. The display system according to claim 12,
wherein the display control unit controls the display content in such a manner that, at a timing at which the vehicle driving mode is switched from the automatic driving mode to the manual driving mode, a vehicle situation that is likely to occur at a later time than in a normal manual driving mode is included.
15. The display system according to claim 5,
wherein the display control unit controls the display content in such a manner that a vehicle situation that is likely to occur at a later time is included on a basis of information about a situation outside the vehicle acquired by the information acquisition unit.
16. The display system according to claim 15,
wherein the information about the situation outside the vehicle includes at least one of weather in a travel area of the vehicle, a friction coefficient of a road surface on which the vehicle is traveling, brightness of the travel area of the vehicle, a number of objects detected around the vehicle, visibility in the travel area of the vehicle, a number of objects expected to be in a view of an occupant in a driver’s seat, a degree of congestion of a travel path of the vehicle, a speed limit of the travel path of the vehicle, and presence of an obstruction that obstructs the view in a traveling direction of the vehicle.
55

17. A display method comprising:
acquiring, by an information acquisition unit, information inside and outside a vehicle;
estimating, by an estimation unit, a vehicle situation that is likely to occur at a later time from a current time on a basis of the information acquired by the information acquisition unit; and
displaying, by a display control unit, the vehicle situation estimated by the estimation unit on a first display device and a second display device included in the plurality of display devices, and controlling, by a display control unit, display content in such a manner that display content of the second display device includes a vehicle situation that is likely to occur at a later time with respect to the vehicle situation displayed on the first display device.
