1. A driving support system comprising:
a display device comprising:
a display panel having flexibility; and
a winding mechanism; and
an imaging device configured to take a picture of surroundings of a vehicle,
wherein the display panel is configured to be changed between a first form in which the display panel is suspended and displays the picture taken by the imaging device and a second form in which the display panel is stored inside the vehicle by the winding mechanism,
wherein in the first form, a display surface of the display panel is flat, and
wherein in the second form, the display panel is folded so that a first region of the display surface is bent inward and a second region of the display surface is bent outward.
