An irradiation control device is a device configured to control irradiation of light indicating a predetermined intention to a surrounding person, and includes an irradiation control unit configured to perform control to irradiate a first irradiation element, and a second irradiation element, which is irradiated when the first irradiation element is extinguished, and indicates an intention of the irradiation. As a result, light can be irradiated such that the attention of a target person is easily attracted and a delay in understanding by the target person is easily avoided.

A procedure is provided for actuating at least one main headlamp of a lighting unit for a motor vehicle. An overall light distribution generated by means of at least two segments of a segmented light module is allocated to a light function. The light control switches on or switches off the light function depending on at least one electric input signal of the light control. In order to facilitate the application of an animation of a vehicle lighting for a plurality of vehicle and environmental situations, the overall light distribution of the light function is built up from a plurality of light distribution segments (a-f; a-b; a-c). Each of the light distribution segments (a-f; a-b; a-c) is generated by means of at least one segment of the segmented light module. The plurality of light distribution segments (a-f; a-b; a-c) are switched on and/or switched off by the light control in a previously determined and stored sequence.

A second light device (4b) starts emission of a light pattern B after a first light device (4a) has started emission of a light pattern A. Elements included in the light pattern B and an element included in the light pattern A are arranged on the same straight line.

A vehicle lighting system includes, among other things, a grille that extends across an opening in a vehicle. The system also includes a light bar assembly having lights that are disposed aft the grille relative to a general orientation of the vehicle. The lights are configured to be activated to emit light through grille openings.

A method of making a fascia for an automobile includes providing an article, the article being one of translucent or transparent and applying a deposited pattern onto at least a first portion of a first side of the article. The method further includes forming the article into a shape, the shape being configured to be consonant with a vehicle exterior configuration. A fascia system includes a transparent member mounted on a vehicle, the member having printed matter on one side, and the member being included into a vehicle exterior design. Additionally, the member is oriented in front of an illumination device and is illuminated by the device.

According to the present embodiment, a serving module includes: a tray; a main body formed therein with a tray space configured to accommodate the tray and having a tray entrance; a tray moving device configured to move at least a part of the tray out of the tray entrance or move an entire of the tray into the tray space; a door configured to open and close the tray entrance; and a door driving device connected to the door to open and close the door.

A vehicle door control device includes a swipe operation portion provided on a vehicle interior side of a door, a detection unit provided at least in the swipe operation portion and configured to detect a swipe operation, a door lock device configured to hold the door in a closed state, and a controller configured to release a closed state of the door by the door lock device when it is determined that the swipe operation is detected based on a detection result of the detection unit.

A driver nudge system is operated within a vehicle to indicate a warning to a driver of the vehicle. The system includes a steering wheel, a vehicle sensor monitoring an operating environment of the vehicle, and an electric motor connected to the steering wheel configured to nudge the steering wheel in an opposite direction to a threat diagnosed according to data from the vehicle sensor.

A system includes a first lead connecting to existing vehicle wiring for activating a signal light of a right side of a vehicle, and a first strobing light module having a first microcontroller connected to the first lead and operating a first light capable of strobing operation. A second lead connects to existing vehicle wiring for activating a signal light of a left side of the vehicle, and a second strobing light module having a second microcontroller connects to the second lead and operating a light capable of strobing operation. The first and second microcontrollers are communicatively coupled and each provides a signal to the other when it has detected activation of its respective lead. The first and second microcontrollers both strobe their respective light capable of strobing operation upon receiving the signal from the other and the signal from their own respective lead.

First lighting bodies are provided to the outer surface of a vehicle body, and second lighting bodies are provided to the outer surface of a trunk lid, which can open/close a trunk. While the trunk lid is closed, a first mode is executed in which the second lighting bodies are lit and the lighting is maintained, and then the first lighting bodies are lit and the lighting is maintained for a prescribed period. When the trunk lid is open, a second mode is executed in which at least the former among the first lighting bodies and the second lighting bodies is lit and the lighting time thereof is set longer than the lighting time of the first lighting bodies in the first mode.
