Abstract
A computer-based method comprises: receiving, in a vehicle, a sensor output from a sensor, the sensor output reflecting a circumstance external to the vehicle; identifying a physical control device of the vehicle as being implicated by the sensor output, the physical control device configured for generating an input that controls vehicle operation; presenting, on a display device of the vehicle and in response to the sensor output, a visual representation of the physical control device, the visual representation indicating how to actuate the physical control device to generate the input; and ceasing to present the visual representation in response to a predefined event.
