A marker lamp system includes a sensor configured to detect information around a vehicle, a projector configured to project an image onto a road surface around the vehicle, a controller configured to control the projector based on a detecting result of the sensor, and a marker lamp having a light emitting area surrounding the sensor and the projector.

The present disclosure discloses a vehicle lamp control apparatus. The vehicle lamp control apparatus includes a timing generator configured to detect a setting voltage, which is varied, and measure a time in which the setting voltage reaches levels of a first reference voltage and a second reference voltage to generate a first delay time and a second delay time, and a lamp control circuit configured to control sequential turn-on of light-emitting diode (LED) channels using the first delay time and the second delay time.

Aspects of the present disclosure may include a vehicle having one or more tires, a body, and an occupant compartment including: a rotatable platform, a central pod seat and one or more companion pod seats disposed on the rotatable platform, and one or more rear seats, wherein the rotatable platform is configured to rotate the central pod seat and the one or more companion pod seats toward a front of the vehicle in a first mode and toward a rear of the vehicle in a second mode, and wherein the central pod seat is further configured to translate linearly away from a center of the rotatable platform into a first position and toward the center of the rotatable platform into a second position.

An apparatus, according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a fascia and an emblem mounted or molded to the fascia, where the emblem includes a plurality of quantum dots. The apparatus also includes an energy source to excite the quantum dots. A method according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, providing an emblem with a plurality of quantum dots, mounting or molding the emblem to a fascia, and selectively exciting the quantum dots to illuminate the emblem.

The present disclosure provides a foot step for a vehicle and a vehicle. The foot step includes: a step body and a light unit. The light unit is disposed on the step body and at least includes a warning light group. The warning light group is configured to emit light to warn traffic participants nearby of a width and an expected driving route of the vehicle.

When a vehicle (10) is made stationary, a control device of the vehicle (10) determines whether there is another vehicle approaching the vehicle (10) or not before opening a door (16) to let a user get out of the vehicle. When another vehicle is approaching, the control device (12) allows at least some of a plurality of light-emitting panels to display a warning (14d, 14e). In the warning display, the control device (12) determines a light-emitting pattern of the light-emitting panels using the approaching direction of the moving object.

A vehicle badge includes a base and a circuit board disposed on the base. A plurality of light sources is disposed on the circuit board. The plurality of light sources defines a pattern. A guide member is disposed over the plurality of light sources. The guide member defines a plurality of light guides. A housing has a viewable portion and is disposed over the guide member. The guide member directs light from the plurality of light sources to the housing. A controller is operably coupled to each light source of the plurality of light sources. The controller selectively illuminates each light source of the plurality of light sources.

A vehicle winglet (e.g., sideview mirror, camera or radar assembly, etc.) is provided with sequential illumination of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). A light guide is connected to and covers the LEDs. The light guide is made of a translucent material and is configured to guide light illuminated by the LEDs and transfer the light out of the light guide. The light guide includes a plurality of light guide towers extending therefrom. Each light guide tower is aligned with a respective one of the LEDs. In some embodiments, a plurality of collimators are provided, with each collimator aligned with a respective one of the LEDs and with a respective one of the light guide towers to redirect the light illuminated from the respective LED into the respective light guide tower.

A vehicle control system includes a recognizer configured to recognize a surrounding environment of a vehicle, a driving controller configured to perform at least one of speed control and steering control of the vehicle on the basis of a recognition result of the recognizer, and a schedule information acquirer configured to acquire schedule information of a rider of the vehicle, wherein the driving controller is configured to determine an exiting mode for the vehicle letting the rider exit or a boarding mode for the vehicle letting the rider board on the basis of the schedule information acquired by the schedule information acquirer.

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.
