Abstract
A device includes a cue generator for a vehicle. Like many vehicles, the vehicle has a windshield and a hood, a gas pedal and a brake pedal. The cue generator includes a light projector configured to project a distinct visual cue based on a type of engagement signal received. The cue generator is configured to receive a gas pedal engagement signal when the gas pedal is engaged, and a brake pedal engagement signal when the brake pedal is engaged. The device is configured to project the visual cue within a portion of the driver's peripheral field of view that corresponds to the hood of the car.
