Abstract

A driving support system has a capability of displaying information in such a manner that the information can be directly used by a driver in driving the vehicle, thereby further enhancing driving safety of the vehicle. The driving support system acquires judgment information and, based on such information, decides whether to issue a warning to the driver. Virtual image information, corresponding to the type of the warning, is generated responsive to a decision that a warning should be given, which virtual image information is displayed to the driver.
