Driving mode display device and driving mode display method

Abstract

An autonomous driving mode display device of the present invention comprises: a receiving unit that receives a front image obtained through a camera of a vehicle, map data of the vehicle, and sensing information; a driving mode detection unit that detects an autonomous driving mode of the vehicle; and a processor that generates a virtual steering wheel representing the detected autonomous driving mode and controls the generated virtual steering wheel to be displayed on the front image. While the vehicle is traveling, the processor may recognize the driving state of the vehicle on the basis of received map data and sensing information and display the recognized driving state in synchronization with the virtual steering wheel. Thus, driver anxiety caused by changes in driving states during autonomous driving may be relieved.
