Driver Assist
This is an Advanced Driver Assistance Systems or ADAS Status Indicator symbol. As shown the, ADAS indicator shows green on both sides, and is thus ready. The color can vary depending on circumstances. The symbol is meant to show the proper lane, another car travelling ahead, and the distance to that car, represented by the horizontal white lines. ACC is working to keep that distance, and thus the number of lines, constant.

The manufacturer using this variant has the symbol associated with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) and Highway ASsist (HAS), creating the full ADAS. Examples of variability include one side turning yellow/amber if the vehicle drifts too far that side (LKA) and torque is being applied to return to center, or yellow/amber horizontally if the distance to a vehicle ahead begins to shrink.
The entire set is associated more strongly with message centers, but as these displays advance, many more color options are available, including the deep blue background and they begin to meld with more traditional picture symbols.
