A molded panel that encompasses all forward surfaces of a vehicle. The molded panel extends from the forward edge from a driver side front wheel opening, laterally across the front of the vehicle and terminating at a forward edge of a passenger side wheel opening. The molded panel extends in the vertical direction (i.e., perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle) from a forward lower edge of a front valance up to a leading edge of one of a hood, a flunk, and a windshield of the vehicle. The molded anel further includes connection flanges formed on a back side surface for connection to a vehicle frame that does not have a front end module and front frame bulk head.

An automated driving enabled vehicle includes an automated driving indicator lamp, one or more lamps, and a lamp controller. The automated driving indicator lamp is configured to be switched on perceptibly from outside the vehicle on the occasion of automated driving of the vehicle. The one or more lamps are provided on the vehicle separately from the automated driving indicator lamp. The lamp controller is configured to start to switch on the automated driving indicator lamp that has been off, before starting to switch on the one or more lamps, on the condition that the vehicle is about to make a departure by the automated driving from a parked or stopped state with the automated driving indicator lamp and the one or more lamps off.

Embodiments of the present disclosure include a wireless remote control or remote control application for controlling the lighting of an electronic personal transportation vehicle. Embodiments can solve problems related to sharing electronic personal transportation vehicles by uniquely identifying a user, and allowing that user to control the lighting of the electronic personal transportation vehicle. In this manner, other users can control the lighting at different times, depending on the specific person that is using the electronic personal transportation vehicle at any given time.

A light assembly for a tailgate of a vehicle, including a housing, and a light source. The housing is pivotally coupled to the tailgate for movement of the housing between a use positon and a stowed position. The light source is coupled to the housing. In the use position the light source is positioned outside of the tailgate. In the stowed position the light source is positioned within the tailgate.

Off-road lighting control systems and methods are disclosed herein. An example vehicle can include off-road lighting mounted to an outside of the vehicle, as well as a controller including a processor and memory. The processor executes instructions in memory to determine a category of a road that the vehicle is located on using location-based information and automatically control the off-road lighting based on the category of the road.

A radiation-emitting semiconductor chip includes a semiconductor layer sequence having an active layer for generating electromagnetic radiation. The semiconductor chip also includes a reflector at a side surface of the semiconductor layer sequence having a reflector surface facing the semiconductor layer sequence and extending obliquely with respect to the active layer. The semiconductor chip further includes a top surface extending transversely with respect to the reflector surface and having a first emission region. The semiconductor chip additionally includes a further reflector situated opposite the reflector. The semiconductor chip is configured such that electromagnetic radiation generated in the active layer during operation is reflected by the reflector and emerges from the semiconductor chip via the emission region of the top surface. A main emission direction of the emerging electromagnetic radiation together with the active layer form an emergence angle of between 30° and 80° inclusive.

Provided is a vehicle light system that can be usefully attached to a hitch receiver. The light system includes one or more lights attached to a frame. The frame includes a substantially horizontal central member, substantially vertical left and right members extending upward from the central member, and left and right extensions respectively coupled to the left and right members, each of the left and right extensions including at least one light. A hitch post extends from the frame and is configured to mount to the hitch receiver of a vehicle. The system can include an insulated power cord having a first end coupled to the one or more lights and a second end having a plug configured to connect to a power source of the vehicle. The one or more lights can be controlled by one or more switches, e.g., integrated with the frame or lights.

A vehicle lamp includes a plurality of light source modules that includes light sources including a plurality of light emitting elements that emit different colors of light and lens bodies disposed in front of the light sources, and the plurality of light source modules are disposed in a matrix manner in a plane to constitute at least one light emitting area.

A hatchback door includes a load-bearing inner panel made of composite plastic material, a plastic top outer panel glued on a top portion of the inner panel, and a plastic bottom outer panel glued on a bottom portion of the inner panel. The top panel includes a first layer of transparent plastic material and a second layer of opaque plastic material or opaque paint. The opaque layer covers only some of the transparent layer such that the top panel is transparent in a central part overlying a rear-window opening of the inner panel and in its peripheral portions that function as transparent elements for two lateral sets of lights and a third top set of lights. The light sets are without a front transparent element and are connected to a rear side of the top panel. The transparent peripheral portions constitute the front transparent elements of the light sets.
