Each part of the system is displayed on a separate screen in a specific part of the cockpit.

A hypervisor is a concept that enables two operating systems to run simultaneously on one SoC in real- time.

One of the problems is that sometimes information that is not necessary for safe driving, such as: information about an incoming call, the current song being played, is displayed on the Cluster.

Many of these solutions are based on a software system to alert you with audio or visual warning messages. The problem with these solutions is when the driver cannot see or hear these warnings and therefore cannot react promptly. This paper presents a solution on how to warn the driver of the presence of obstacles or other cars in the immediate vicinity by using vibrations as a medium for transmitting messages between the car and the driver. Objects in the immediate vicinity are detected by various sensors and cameras, and then this information is used to make decisions about the nature of the alerts to be activated. In this paper, the hardware and software for the realization of this solution are presented. The system consists of a vibrating seat, a sensor (camera), a controller and a software solution. The principle of operation is as follows: when there is an obstacle on the right side of the vehicle, such as a passing car or some other obstacle, the seat will vibrate on the right side to inform the driver about the existence of an obstacle. The intensity of the vibrations corresponds to the distance from the obstacle, the stronger vibrations correspond to the object that is closer to the car.

The number of control units for data processing and display of content can be reduced by using SoC (SoC - System on a chip) with a hypervisor.

The proposed system consists of one SoC with two operating systems running on a hypervisor and having the ability to display content on three different screens. The proposed solution covers the simultaneous display of content from both operating systems on one screen as well as the display of visual warnings on all screens in the digital cockpit, regardless of the operating system that hosts that screen.
