The driver station delivers the joystick values and other competition state to the robot. It doesn't have anything to do with vision.

The dashboard is often run on the same computer. It can request the camera images be sent to it, and it is often used to display the images to the drivers, sometimes overlaying field info over the image.

The VI is, I assume, the vision loop that runs on the cRIO and is typically used to process the images and update any sort of driving target info. This info is often sent to the driver station too.
