Situationally updating a vehicle display

1 . A method of situationally updating a vehicle display, the method comprising:

causing, by a vehicle control system, a first view to be displayed on the vehicle display, wherein the first view comprises a first display region and a second display region adjacent to the first display region;

receiving, by the vehicle control system, an information trigger in relation to a vehicle comprising the vehicle display;

generating, by the vehicle control system based on the information trigger, a second view comprising the first display region, the second display region, and a situational display region, the generating comprising establishing an anchor point in the first view between the first display region and the second display region such that at least a size and position of the second display region are unmodified in the second view relative to the first view, the second view adjusting the first display region relative to the first view to accommodate the situational display region; and

responsive to the information trigger, causing, by the vehicle control system, the second view to be displayed on the vehicle display.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the generating the second view further comprises:

determining a side of the vehicle associated with the information trigger, wherein the anchor point is established based on the determined side;

selecting a live video feed corresponding to the determined side of the vehicle, the situational display region comprising the selected live video feed; and

arranging the situational display region on a side of the second view corresponding to the determined side of the vehicle.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the determined side is at least one of a driver side of the vehicle or a passenger side of the vehicle.

4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein:

the situational display region is associated with a first size responsive to a determination that the side of the vehicle associated with the information trigger is a driver side of the vehicle;

the situational display region is associated with a second size responsive to a determination that the side of the vehicle associated with the information trigger is a passenger side of the vehicle; and

the second size is larger than the first size.

5 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the information trigger indicates at least one of an active turn signal for the determined side of the vehicle or a presence of an object on the determined side of the vehicle.

6 . The method of claim 2 , wherein

the adjusting the first display region relative to the first view comprises:

shifting a position of the first display region relative to the first view; and

resizing the first display region relative to the first view.

7 . The method of claim 2 , wherein:

the first view further comprises a third display region adjacent to the first display region; and

the second view further comprises the third display region, the second view adjusting the third display region relative to the first view to accommodate the situational display region.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the causing comprises visually squeezing the first display region to the anchor point in correspondence to the adjusting.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein at least selected center content of the first display region is unmodified in the second view relative to the first view.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the adjusting the first display region comprises at least one of the following:

trimming the first display region relative to the first view; or

modifying a zoom level of at least a portion of the first display region relative to the first view.

11 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

detecting a trigger to return to the first view; and

responsive to the trigger, causing the first view to be displayed on the vehicle display.

12 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first display region comprises dynamic vehicle information, the dynamic vehicle information comprising at least one of global positioning system (GPS) map data, Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) data, or vehicle speed.

13 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle display comprises an instrument cluster.

14 . A system for situationally updating a vehicle display, the system comprising:

a vehicle display; and

a vehicle control system communicably coupled to the vehicle display, wherein the vehicle control system is operable to:

cause a first view to be displayed on the vehicle display, wherein the first view comprises a first display region and a second display region adjacent to the first display region;

receive an information trigger in relation to a vehicle comprising the vehicle display;

generate, based on the information trigger, a second view comprising the first display region, the second display region, and a situational display region, the generation comprising establishing an anchor point in the first view between the first display region and the second display region such that at least a size and position of the second display region are unmodified in the second view relative to the first view, the second view adjusting the first display region relative to the first view to accommodate the situational display region; and

responsive to the information trigger, cause a second view to be displayed on the vehicle display.

15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein

the generation of the second view further comprises:

determine determining a side of the vehicle associated with the information trigger, wherein the anchor point is established based on the determined side;

selecting a live video feed corresponding to the determined side of the vehicle, the situational display region comprising the selected live video feed; and

arranging the situational display region on a side of the second view corresponding to the determined side of the vehicle.

16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein:

the situational display region is associated with a first size responsive to a determination that the side of the vehicle associated with the information trigger is a driver side of the vehicle;

the situational display region is associated with a second size responsive to a determination that the side of the vehicle associated with the information trigger is a passenger side of the vehicle; and

the second size is larger than the first size.

17 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the information trigger indicates at least one of an active turn signal for the determined side of the vehicle or a presence of an object on the determined side of the vehicle.

18 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the adjusting the first display region relative to the first view comprises:

shifting a position of the first display region relative to the first view; and

resizing the first display region relative to the first view.

19 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the operability to cause the second view to be displayed on the vehicle display comprises visually squeezing the first display region to the anchor point in correspondence to the adjusting.

20 . The system of claim 14 , wherein at least selected center content of the first display region is unmodified in the second view relative to the first view.
