ABSTRACT:
Visual indicators on a steering wheel of a vehicle provide information to a driver of the vehicle. In one embodiment an input stage is used to receive an input signal. The signal is processed to provide a signal for an indicator on the steering wheel. Conditions of the steering wheel can be sensed to provide modification of the indicator display. For example, the rotation or orientation of the steering wheel can be taken into account to modify the display for better viewing. The position or placement of a driver's hand on the steering wheel can be used to change the display of indicators so that the indicators are less obscured.
