A vehicle computer system with a transparent display

摘要

A vehicle computer system 10 with a transparent display 70 is provided. The vehicle computer system 10 gathers data from a safety sensor 65 to determine whether the proper safety conditions are present for the vehicle operator to interact with the vehicle computer system 10. A safety controller 60 receives safety condition data gathered from the safety sensor 65 and instructs a display manager 50 to disable the display of information to the vehicle operator during unsafe operating conditions. The vehicle computer system 10 advantageously employs a transparent display screen 70 to provide greater field of vision of the vehicle operator than could be provided by a traditional display screen.
