Some methods described also include determining a time to activate the turn signal prior to the turn of the vehicle at the roadway intersection. Some methods described also include transmitting a control signal to activate the turn signal at the determined time. Systems and computer program products are also provided.

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.

Techniques for selectively illuminating regions of an environment are disclosed herein. For example, an autonomous vehicle can include one or more emitter systems (e.g., a headlight(s)) comprising an array of light emitters configured to controllably emit light into an environment. In some examples, a machine learned model(s) may generate configuration signals to control the individual light emitters of an emitter system based at least in part on one or more of sensor data (e.g., lidar data, image data, etc.). In some examples, the machine learned model may generate configuration signals based at least in part on map data. Additional sensor data may be captured after the emitter system is reconfigured and used to control the autonomous vehicle.

The present disclosure relates to a motor vehicle, including a projection system having at least one first and at least one second projection device. The at least one first projection device has at least one first light source and the at least second projection device has at least one second light source, where at least one first light projection can be projected into surroundings of the motor vehicle by the at least first projection device. The at least first light projection defines an actual position of the stationary motor vehicle, and at least one second light projection can be projected into surroundings of the motor vehicle by the at least second projection device. The at least second light projection defines a target position defining a parking position of the motor vehicle.
