うになっている。In FIG. 1, an air conditioner operating section 2 and a stereo operating section 3 are disposed in a console box 1 of an automobile, and furthermore, a CRT color display 5 is installed adjacent to these operating sections 2 and 3. In addition, a small color television camera 6 or 7 using a CCD image sensor or the like is installed at a position with good forward visibility, such as on the top of the rearview mirror or on the dash board, and displays an image of the direction of travel at all times while the car is running. It is now possible to display. The television camera 6 has a zoom lens mechanism (not shown) that is linked to the vehicle speed, and when the vehicle is running at low speed, the field of view is widened so that nearby objects can be imaged.
When driving at high speeds, visibility becomes narrower and distant objects become visible.
また、運転者が任意にテレビカメラ６の視角を調節可能
にして、テレビカメラ６の視角を運転者の視角と同一に
したり、運転者の視角よりも大にしたりするようにして
もよい。Further, the viewing angle of the television camera 6 may be made arbitrarily adjustable by the driver so that the viewing angle of the television camera 6 is the same as the driver's viewing angle or larger than the driver's viewing angle.

より、前方を見ながら安全に走行することができる。Therefore, while the car is running, an image of the direction of travel is always displayed on the display 5, so when operating the switches on the air conditioner control unit 2 and the stereo control unit 3, the driver should use the switches on the console box 1. Even if the driver turns his/her eyes toward the vehicle, by viewing the image in the direction of travel on the display 5, the vehicle can drive safely while looking ahead.
