A display system comprises at least one screen 2 which displays information, entertainment or media in autonomous mode, but shows real-time driving hazards (Fig.5) as they arise and simultaneously transfers control from the artificial intelligence (AI) autonomy to a human driver for manual input when the vehicle detects safety critical driving decisions, thus improving safety of autonomous road vehicles. The display screen may overlay part of the windscreen 1, be mounted above the dashboard or suspended from the roof or upper windscreen area, may incorporate a thumbnail view, and may be coupled to a forward looking camera. The system may include a training mode, driver and airbag sensors and a speaker 11 for alerts, a keyboard 3, joystick or touch screen mounted in front of the driver on the steering wheel 5, which can remain stationary relative to the driver. The steering wheel 5 can take many forms. Information, entertainment and vehicle control can be achieved via wireless technology.
