A vehicle accident notification device includes a processor that determines whether a vehicle accident occurs and a degree of the vehicle accident based on a sensing result of a sensor and vehicle information received from a device of the host vehicle and automatically provides a notification of the vehicle accident, a communicator that communicates with other devices, and a storage storing a collision reference value that is used to determine the degree of the vehicle accident in advance.

A pedestrian airbag includes: an airbag cushion stored in a pedestrian airbag room located between a roof and a headliner of a vehicle in a folded state, and configured to be deployed to cover both a windshield glass and an A-pillar by being expanded during deployment thereof; and an inflator configured to supply gas to the airbag cushion.

A pedestrian airbag device includes an airbag, which is housed folded in a housing region disposed in a vicinity of a rear end of a hood panel, and an inflator that supplies an inflating gas to the airbag. The airbag includes a vehicle body side wall portion disposed on a body side when inflation is completed, and a pedestrian side wall portion disposed opposing the vehicle body side wall portion, and an internal pressure maintenance chamber enclosed by a peripheral wall coupled to the vehicle body side wall portion and the pedestrian side wall portion is disposed in one portion of an internal region. The internal pressure maintenance chamber is configured in such a way that an inflating gas discharged from the inflator can flow into an interior via a general inflating portion in the airbag, and a check valve mechanism that prevents a backflow to the general inflating portion side of the inflating gas that has flowed into the interior is disposed in the internal pressure maintenance chamber.

Systems, apparatus and methods implemented in algorithms, software, firmware, logic, or circuitry may be configured to process data and sensory input to determine whether an object external to an autonomous vehicle (e.g., another vehicle, a pedestrian, a bicyclist, etc.) may be a potential collision threat to the autonomous vehicle. The autonomous vehicle may include a light emitter positioned external to a surface of the autonomous vehicle and being configured to implement a visual alert by emitting light from the light emitter. Data representing a light pattern may be received by the light emitter and the light emitted by the display may be indicative of the light pattern. The light pattern may be selected to gain the attention of the object (e.g., a pedestrian, a driver of a car, a bicyclists, etc.) in order to avoid the potential collision or to alert the object to the presence of the autonomous vehicle.

An autonomous robotic vehicle includes a conveyance system, a securable compartment configured to autonomously lock and unlock, a customer identification reader, at least one processor, and a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the autonomous robotic vehicle to, autonomously: travel to a destination location of a customer; capture, by the customer identification reader at the destination location, a customer identification object; determine that the captured customer identification object matches an identity of the customer; unlock the securable compartment based on the determination; capture, by the product identification reader, a product identifier; and accept a product to be returned by locking the securable compartment. The securable compartment contains a product identification reader.

The present invention provides an external airbag system for a vehicle, the external airbag system including a detection sensor configured to detect an object moving at a rear or lateral side of a vehicle, an airbag cushion provided on a rear frame on which a door of the vehicle is mounted, the airbag cushion being configured to be deployed to extend in a leftward/rightward direction of the vehicle in a state in which the door of the vehicle is opened, and a control unit configured to perform control to deploy the airbag cushion when the detection sensor detects the object.
