Each of the left-side communication support lamp and the right-side communication support lamp includes a plurality of light-emitting segments arranged side by side in a right and left direction of the vehicle. The illumination controller is configured to change an illumination state of each of the plurality of light-emitting segments.

An autonomous vehicle includes a vehicle body and an illuminated stripe assembly mounted to the vehicle body. The illuminated stripe assembly is adapted to emit a plurality of stripe patterns that are visually distinctive from one another for indicating different operating states of the autonomous vehicle.

An automotive lighting fixtures that can create the desired illumination pattern of light distribution while suppressing enlargement is provided. The vehicular lamp 10 comprises a plurality of light sources (21, 22, 23), a condenser lens 12 that collects light by allowing light from the multiple light sources (21, 22, 23) to enter through an incident surface 34 and exit through an exit surface 35, a light-shielding member 13 provided with a plurality of light-transmitting portions (28) that partially transmit the light collected by the condenser lens 12, and a projection lens 14 that forms an illumination pattern Pi with a plurality of illumination patterns Di corresponding to the plurality of light-transmitting portions by projecting the light transmitted through the light-shielding member 13. The light sources (21, 22, 23) are individually provided corresponding to the light-transmitting portions, and the condenser lens 12 is characterized by having a plurality of condenser lens portions (31, 32, 33) that individually correspond to the light-transmitting portions and are stacked on top of each other.

The present disclosure relates to a communication light device for a vehicle interior, having a housing, wherein light sources are arranged in a row on a housing base, wherein the light sources are configured to generate a time-controllable light signal, wherein a side wall of the housing has a light exit opening which extends across the side wall in the direction of the row of light sources and which points towards the vehicle interior when the communication light device is in an intended installation position, and wherein internal walls of the housing have a diffusely reflecting surface.

A system includes a microcontroller that controls illumination of a plurality of vehicle lights that are operable in a flashing state wherein the plurality of lights operate as hazard flashers visible on a front and rear of a vehicle and a strobing state wherein the plurality of lights operate as strobing lights visible on the front and rear of the vehicle. The system includes a strobe activation switch that provides a signal to the microcontroller to operate the plurality of vehicle lights in the second strobing state. The microcontroller operates the plurality of vehicle lights in the first hazard flasher state in response activation of an existing hazard flasher switch. The strobing state has a flash rate that is perceptibly faster than a flash rate of the flashing state.
