A method performed by a vision control system for supporting in low light conditions in surroundings of a moving vehicle, object detection by at least a first on-board rearward- and/or sideward-facing image capturing device. The vision control system captures a surrounding located rearward and/or sideward of the moving vehicle with support from the at least first image capturing device. The vision control system further determines light conditions in the surrounding. Moreover, the vision control system provides with support from at least a first light source, when the light conditions fulfill insufficient light criteria, a light output illuminating a ground region of the surrounding to facilitate object detection by the at least first image capturing device. The disclosure also relates to a vision control system, a vehicle comprising such a vision control system, and a respective corresponding computer readable storage medium.

A driving control method for vehicles includes: determining, by a controller, whether virtual guide lines need to be generated, based on a state of turn guide lines disposed at sides of a host vehicle when the host vehicle enters an intersection and drives while turning; and controlling, by the controller, the host vehicle to radiate optical guide lines on a road surface requiring generation of the virtual guide lines, using light, in response to determining that the virtual guide lines need to be generated.

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.

A lamp for a vehicle or other object that includes multiple functions. In one aspect, the lamp includes a first circuit for emitting a first color light (such as red light), and at least a second circuit for emitting a second color of light (such as amber light). In another aspect, the lamp optionally includes a microcontroller that may be programmed to control the activation of the different colored lamp circuits based on lamp location information, and based on an operating mode.

Automatic drive mode lighting systems and methods are disclosed herein. An example method can include determining when a drive mode of a vehicle is an off-road mode, determining when a speed of the vehicle is below a speed threshold, determining when a location of the vehicle corresponds to an off-road location, and automatically activating off-road lighting for the vehicle when the drive mode is in an off-road mode, the speed is below the speed threshold, and the location corresponds to an off-road location.

An electric scooter with a lighting system that includes a rear mounted light that projects light upward and toward the front of the scooter to illuminate the back of a rider, and side lights that project light to illuminate the sides of a scooter. The lighting system employs a multi-faceted approach to vary intensity and effects for improved visibility in traffic. The light system can be configured to automatically illuminate or change effects in response to road or environmental conditions, or in response to existing or future roadway infrastructure such as autonomous traffic infrastructure or adaptive traffic control systems. The light system may also be integrated with the braking system for signaling a slow down or stop. The system may be controlled by communication between an onboard processor and a personal computing device such as a smart phone that can be docked on the scooter and provide display of information and a means of input.
