Abstract
A display system for a vehicle is comprised of a projector which projects a virtual preceding vehicle at a position ahead of a driver of a host vehicle, a vehicle condition detecting unit which detects a vehicle traveling condition of the host vehicle, a road condition detecting unit which detects a road condition of a road ahead of the host vehicle and a controller coupled to the projector, the vehicle condition detecting unit and the road condition detecting unit. The controller arranged to calculate a traveling condition of the virtual preceding vehicle on the basis of the vehicle traveling condition and the road condition, and to command the projector to project the preceding vehicle which travels under the calculated traveling condition of the virtual preceding vehicle.
