Abstract:
A display apparatus for a vehicle is provided with a display unit and a display position control unit. The display unit is capable of displaying information at plural different display positions. In an autonomous driving state of the vehicle, the display position control unit detects a position of a steering wheel and an eye position of a driver. When the display position control unit determines that information displayed by the display unit is obscured by the steering wheel as seen by the driver, the display position control unit causes the information to be displayed at a display position that is visible to the driver.
