A vehicle system includes a warning device and at least one electronic control unit. The at least one electronic control unit is configured to present a light stimulus to a driver, and determine whether the driver is facing forward, determine whether the driver holds a steering wheel, and cause the warning device to perform a first warning when it is determined that the driver is not facing forward while the light stimulus is being presented. The first warning is either the vibration or the sound. The at least one electronic control unit is configured to perform a second warning when it is determined that the driver does not hold the steering wheel before a predetermined time elapses after the first warning is started. The second warning includes the vibration and the sound.

Embodiments of the disclosure provide for light control and systems. Some embodiments include obtaining driving information, where the driving information includes at least one of the following: navigation information, driving assistance information, and vehicle data. Some embodiments further include obtaining information about a to-be-driven path. Some embodiments further include obtaining a target light pattern based on the driving information and the information about the to-be-driven path. Some embodiments further include displaying, on the to-be-driven path and using the target light pattern, a beam emitted by a vehicle.

A message transmission system for a mobility vehicle includesa lighting unit mounted in a steering wheel of the mobility vehicle. Light output is varied according to various traveling situations of the mobility vehicle provide alert to a driver. Accordingly, when an emergency situation occurs during traveling of the mobility, the driver can quickly respond to the emergency situation, thereby ensuring the stability of the traveling mobility vehicle. In addition, the lighting unit mounted in the steering wheel provides an aesthetic appeal to a driver, thereby improving marketability.

A method for controlling a lighting system for a motor vehicle having a system for detecting objects includes defining at least one set of detectable types of objects and acquiring, by means of the detection system, a set of data relating to the position of a plurality of objects of types belonging to the set. Also included is determining a lighting model which is associated with said set and defines at least one zone referred to as the initial detection zone, and a light pattern referred to as the initial light pattern, of a light beam intended to be emitted in the initial detection zone. The lighting system is controlled in order to emit a light beam having the initial light pattern in the initial detection zone of said lighting model.

An approach is provided for determining an autonomous vehicle reaction strategy when facing a wrong way driving vehicle. The approach, for example, involves processing mapping data, sensor data, or a combination thereof to develop a map of an area within a threshold distance of an autonomous vehicle in response to a detection of an oncoming vehicle that is driving in a wrong direction towards the autonomous vehicle. The approach also involves using a decision tree of a plurality of candidate strategies for avoiding the oncoming vehicle to select a strategy based on one or more attributes of the map. The approach further involves presenting the selected strategy in a user interface of the autonomous vehicle.

The present invention relates to an automatic light intensity control device for vehicle rear lamps in response to changes in visibility distance and its control method. To this end, the automatic light intensity control device for vehicle rear lamps of the present invention comprises: a visibility distance measurement unit that is mounted on a driving vehicle or installed in the vicinity of a driving road to measure a visibility distance of the road in real time; and a light intensity calculation and control unit that is mounted on the driving vehicle to calculate an appropriate light intensity using visibility distance information measured by the visibility distance measurement unit and then control the light intensity of rear lamps in real time.

An automatic travel management device is configured to manage automatic travel of a vehicle in a designated area. The automatic travel management device includes a communication device and one or more processors. The communication device is configured to communicate with each of the vehicle and a recognition sensor. The recognition sensor is installed in the designated area and configured to recognize a situation in the designated area. The one or more processors are configured to: when the vehicle is automatically traveling while a headlight of the vehicle is turned on, detect a first person present in an illumination range of the headlight based on person recognition information from the recognition sensor; and, in response to detection of the first person, execute a light amount reduction process of transmitting, to the vehicle, an instruction to reduce light amount of the headlight.

Systems and methods for deploying warning devices for a vehicle. The vehicle can be an autonomous vehicle. A method of deploying warning devices for a vehicle includes deploying one or more warning devices from the vehicle, the one or more warning devices being coupled to a deployment vehicle. Deploying the one or more warning devices includes controlling the deployment vehicle. A system for deploying warning devices for a vehicle includes a deployment vehicle and one or more warning devices coupled to the deployment vehicle. The system includes a controller configured to deploy the one or more warning devices from the vehicle. Deploying the one or more warning devices includes the controller configured to control the deployment vehicle.

In some embodiments, an apparatus, comprises an unmanned vehicle configured to be disposed with a vehicle and a processor operatively coupled to the unmanned vehicle. The processor is configured to receive a first signal indicating a stop of the vehicle without a user request and a second signal indicating a location of the vehicle. The processor is configured to determine, based on the location of the vehicle, a target location in a pre-defined area surrounding the vehicle. The processor is configured to send a third signal to the unmanned vehicle to instruct the unmanned vehicle to move to the target location to alert other vehicles via a warning regarding occurrence of the stop.
