A system for detecting a vehicular crash (i) receives data from the at least one sensor; (ii) determines that a potential vehicular crash is imminent based upon the received data; and (iii) performs at least one action to reduce a severity of the potential vehicular crash prior to impact. As a result, at least one of the potential injuries to passengers and the potential damage to a vehicle involved in the potential vehicular crash is reduced.

A system for analyzing the environment of a vehicle (i) receives a plurality of data from at least one sensor associated with a vehicle, such that the plurality of data includes at least one environmental condition; (ii) analyzes the plurality of data to determine the at least one environmental condition; (iii) determines at least one actionable item based upon the at least one environmental condition; (iv) determines at least one provider based upon the actionable item; and (v) transmits a message to the at least one provider, such that the message includes the at least one actionable item. As a result, the speed and accuracy of providers learning about potential actionable items is increased.

An unmanned delivery machine capable of improving convenience is provided. An unmanned delivery machine includes a vehicle body, a drive device, a baggage storage part, and doors. The drive device is configured to automatically drive the vehicle body. The baggage storage part is provided on the vehicle body. Doors are provided on a front surface and a rear surface of the vehicle body, are configured to allow access to the baggage storage part and are openable and closable.

A digital license plate supporting both access and analysis of vehicle relevant information is disclosed. The digital license plate includes sensors that provide status data to a processor in the digital license plate. A power path control module can initiate power state changes and adjust power depending on system state as determined by at least one the multiple sensors. In some embodiments a temperature control module is connected to a temperature sensor and configured to modify heat relevant display parameters as critical temperatures are approached.

A method for supporting a nomadic mobile servicing vehicle, and a system for implementing the method are provided. The method includes transmitting, by a first vehicle and to a server, a promotion request, the promotion request specifying a location of the first vehicle. The method further includes acquiring environment attributes of an environment within a reference distance of the location of the first vehicle, and extracting conditions specified in the promotion request. The method also includes transmitting, to a third vehicle, the promotion request for fulfillment, determining a promotion route within a predetermined distance range, and executing, by the third vehicle, a promotion operation while traveling along the promotion route.

Electronic display systems, including roadside display devices, vehicle-based devices, personal mobile devices, intermediary servers, advertising servers and/or networks, and/or additional external data sources may operate individually or in combination to identify one or more vehicle locations, driving routes, driver and passenger characteristics, driving behavior and patterns, telematics data, and the like. Vehicle and individual characteristics and/or telematics data may be determined based on data received from traffic cameras, vehicle-based devices, personal mobile devices, telematics devices, and/or other data sources, including software applications. Based on the vehicle characteristics, individual characteristics, driving data and driving patterns, telematics data, and the like, content, such as digital display content or audio content, may be determined for output on various devices, such as electronic roadside displays to be viewable by the approaching vehicles, and/or other devices to be accessible by associated individuals via the other devices. Various techniques may be used to determine customized content. Additionally, certain systems may be interactive to allow user responses and follow-up content via on-board vehicle devices or other user devices.

A system for processing a digital promotion may include a mobile wireless communications device associated with a user and configured to operate a ride-sharing application and a digital promotion server. The digital promotion server may be configured to determine a geographic destination of the user based upon the ride-sharing application and generate a digital promotion for redemption at a redemption location associated with the geographic destination and communicate the digital promotion to the mobile wireless communications device. The digital promotions server may also be configured to cooperate with the mobile wireless communications device to prompt the user to accept the digital promotion, and upon acceptance, generate a user identifier associated with the user and the digital promotion and communicate the user identifier to the redemption location for redemption of the digital promotion.

A vehicle includes a license plate frame. A processor is configured with instructions executable to present changing messages on the license plate frame. The processor may receive images of other vehicles and send a signal to a server pertaining the number of views of a message based on analysis of the images.

An information processing device includes a communication unit and a control unit. The communication unit performs information communication with a terminal device. When receiving route information, the control unit controls the communication unit to transmit to the terminal device an advertisement including an arrival point in a distribution area, and including expected arrival time in a target time slot or in a time slot preliminary time before the beginning of the target time slot. The route information is used to acquire the arrival point on the scheduled travel route to the destination and the expected arrival time at the arrival point.

A vehicle display system includes a controller, a display, and a sensor. The controller is configured to be operably disposed on board a vehicle, and the display is configured to be coupled to the controller and to display information to a passenger of the vehicle. The sensor is configured to be coupled to the controller and to detect the passenger when the passenger is in a predetermined area. The controller is configured to change the information displayed by the display responsive to when the sensor detects the passenger in the predetermined area. The system may also include one or more translucent panels (e.g., for a door or window), with the display being attached thereto. The controller may also be configured to control what information is displayed on the display based on vehicle location, speed, mode of operation, etc.
