A driving assistance system and method for providing driving condition
information to a driver via a seat with a haptic signal. A set of state
signals of the vehicle with respect to a lane on the road is generated.
The set of state signals include at least a lateral position signal that
indicates a lateral positional relationship of the vehicle with respect
to the lane and a heading angle signal that indicates a heading angle of
the vehicle with respect to the lane. A haptic signal is generated based
on the set of state signals to convey information regarding the lateral
positional relationship of the vehicle with respect to the lane and the
heading angle of the vehicle with respect to the lane.
