Systems, apparatus and methods may be configured to implement actively-controlled light emission from a robotic vehicle. A light emitter(s) of the robotic vehicle may be configurable to indicate a direction of travel of the robotic vehicle and/or display information (e.g., a greeting, a notice, a message, a graphic, passenger/customer/client content, vehicle livery, customized livery) using one or more colors of emitted light (e.g., orange for a first direction and purple for a second direction), one or more sequences of emitted light (e.g., a moving image/graphic), or positions of light emitter(s) on the robotic vehicle (e.g., symmetrically positioned light emitters). The robotic vehicle may not have a front or a back (e.g., a trunk/a hood) and may be configured to travel bi-directionally, in a first direction or a second direction (e.g., opposite the first direction), with the direction of travel being indicated by one or more of the light emitters.

Systems, apparatus and methods implemented in algorithms, software, firmware, logic, or circuitry may be configured to process data and sensory input to determine whether an object external to an autonomous vehicle (e.g., another vehicle, a pedestrian, a bicyclist, etc.) may be a potential collision threat to the autonomous vehicle. The autonomous vehicle may include a light emitter positioned external to a surface of the autonomous vehicle and being configured to implement a visual alert by emitting light from the light emitter. Data representing a light pattern may be received by the light emitter and the light emitted by the display may be indicative of the light pattern. The light pattern may be selected to gain the attention of the object (e.g., a pedestrian, a driver of a car, a bicyclists, etc.) in order to avoid the potential collision or to alert the object to the presence of the autonomous vehicle.

A trailer illumination assembly includes a trailer that has a plurality of running lights disposed on the trailer. The trailer includes a power source is positioned in the trailer and a female light plug which can be electrically coupled to a male light plug on a towing vehicle. The female light plug is in communication with the plurality of running light. An adapter plug is pluggable into the female light plug when the female light plug is not electrically coupled to the male light plug on the towing vehicle. Additionally, the adapter plug places the power source on the trailer in electrical communication with the plurality of running lights on the trailer. In this way the running lights on the trailer can be powered by the power source on the trailer.

Automatic drive mode lighting systems and methods are disclosed herein. An example method can include determining when a drive mode of a vehicle is an off-road mode, determining when a speed of the vehicle is below a speed threshold, determining when a location of the vehicle corresponds to an off-road location, and automatically activating off-road lighting for the vehicle when the drive mode is in an off-road mode, the speed is below the speed threshold, and the location corresponds to an off-road location.

An electric scooter with a lighting system that includes a rear mounted light that projects light upward and toward the front of the scooter to illuminate the back of a rider, and side lights that project light to illuminate the sides of a scooter. The lighting system employs a multi-faceted approach to vary intensity and effects for improved visibility in traffic. The light system can be configured to automatically illuminate or change effects in response to road or environmental conditions, or in response to existing or future roadway infrastructure such as autonomous traffic infrastructure or adaptive traffic control systems. The light system may also be integrated with the braking system for signaling a slow down or stop. The system may be controlled by communication between an onboard processor and a personal computing device such as a smart phone that can be docked on the scooter and provide display of information and a means of input.

A vehicle warning lamp is provided, including: a base, including a receiving room, the receiving room extending in an axial direction; a light-emitting module, disposed within the receiving room, the light-emitting module including at least one light-emitting member; and a light guide, including a first side and a second side opposite to each other, the second side facing toward the light-emitting module, the first side including a first diffuser, the light-emitting module being located within an axial projection area of the first diffuser, the second side including at least one inclined portion and at least one plane portion, the at least one plane portion being perpendicular to the axial direction, each of the at least one inclined portion including a second diffuser which is located outside the axial projection area of the first diffuser.

The present invention relates to a through-type taillight and a vehicle having same. Specifically, the through-type taillight is installed in an accommodation of a vehicle tail component, and has an outer lens, a housing and a side part, the housing being closed by the outer lens, and together with the outer lens defining an accommodating space for accommodating an optoelectronic component of the through-type taillight, wherein the side part is arranged on a side of the housing in such a way as to prevent loosening, and at least occupies a first position and a second position relative to the housing, such that in the first position the through-type taillight can be fitted into the accommodation, and in the second position the side part forms a corresponding compensating face of the vehicle tail component.

A brake dust particle filter for a disc brake assembly of a vehicle has at least one housing structure engaging across a brake disc and/or a brake caliper of the disc brake assembly at least in sections in a mounted state of the brake dust particle filter at the disc brake assembly. The brake dust particle filter is designed to catch particles generated during braking. At least one light source, especially an LED light source, is provided at the brake dust particle filter. A lighting housing part is provided that is to be attached to the housing structure. A vehicle is provided with such a brake dust particle filter provided with a light source.

Aspects of the disclosure provide for displaying notifications on a display of an autonomous vehicle 100. In one instance, a distance from the vehicle to a destination of the vehicle or a passenger may be determined. When the distance is between a first distance and a second distance, a first notification 650 may be displayed on the display. The second distance may be less than the first distance. When the distance is less than the second distance, a second notification 660 may be displayed on the display. The second notification provides additional information not provided by the first notification.
