Abstract: The technology involves an in-vehicle communication system with a console that is positioned within the cabin of the vehicle, for instance between the front seats so that passengers in the second row can view and access it. The console is configured to provide contextual information to passengers. The console includes a monitor assembly that has a display screen and a notification region. The notification region includes one or more displayable icons and at least one receptacle for a communication device of a passenger. The notification region has a first section comprising an outer cover layer with a first series of masking, diffuser and illuminating layers to selectively illuminate the one or more displayable icons. The notification region has a second section comprising the outer cover layer with a second series of masking, diffuser and illuminating layers to selectively illuminate the at least one receptacle for the communication device.

Abstract: Example embodiments described herein involve a structural support for shielding from electromagnetic interference between components in a display system and for discharging electrostatic charges. The display system may be implemented in an autonomous vehicle. A display system may include a screen, a printed circuit board (PCB), and a cast housing comprising a metal. At least the screen and the PCB may be grounded to the cast housing. The cast housing may shield at least the screen and the PCB from electromagnetic interference. A grounding cable may be connected to the cast housing via a self-tapping screw, the grounding cable extending to an electrical ground.
