An automotive luminous signaling glazing for example forming a laminated vehicle front windshield, includes a first exterior glazing, with a first main face and a second main face; a lamination interlayer made of polymeric material and a set of electrically conductive wires anchored on an anchoring face of the lamination interlayer, which is either the fifth main face or the sixth main main of the lamination interlayer; an interior second glazing, with a third main face and a fourth main face, the second main face and the third main face being the internal faces of the laminated glazing; and a set of diodes emitting in the direction of the interior glass. For each of the diodes, the lamination interlayer comprises a blind aperture on the opposite face to the anchoring face.

A vehicle luminous signaling glazing forming, for example, a laminated vehicle windshield includes a first exterior glazing, with first main face and second main face, a lamination interlayer made of polymeric material with an other edge face, a second interior glazing, with third main face and fourth main face, the second main face and the third main face being the internal faces of the laminated glazing. The glazing also includes a flexible carrier for the diodes including a diode zone, an emerging electrical supply zone emerging from the other edge face, divided into a plurality of track strips, carrying electrical tracks, with an individual width Wi of less than 5 cm.

A motor vehicle is disclosed that includes at least one linear lighting means for directly and/or indirectly lighting a vehicle interior. A position-sensing unit senses ego information describing a position and an orientation of the motor vehicle. A control device determines, from location information describing the position of a person, and from the ego information, direction information describing a direction of the person in relation to the motor vehicle (1), selects, in accordance with the direction information, a sub-group of lighting segments that includes at least one lighting segment to be activated, and activates the lighting segment belonging to the sub-group in accordance with a configuration, which specifies the lighting brightness and/or the lighting color of the lighting segment, and which visualizes the position of the person.

A driving system for an automated drive for a motor vehicle includes a steering wheel display with a lighting strip structure. The lighting strip structure of the steering wheel display is luminous in a defined lighting color for a duration which can be modified according to the actuation. The driving system is designed to control the steering wheel display such that the lighting strip structure is luminous in the lighting color over a starting length during the automated drive. Upon approaching an end of the automated drive lying ahead, the driving system determines that the vehicle has approached an end point of the automated drive lying ahead in such a manner that a specified approach condition has been satisfied. In response thereto, the steering wheel display is actuated such that the lighting strip structure is luminous in the lighting color with a successively decreasing length starting from the starting length as the distance to the end point of the automated drive decreases successively in order to prepare the driver to completely or at least partly take over control of the vehicle again.

A vehicular display device according to an embodiment includes a light shielding housing fixed to a surface of a roof of a vehicle on a cabin side and having a concave portion concave upward, an opening portion formed at a position facing a rear of the vehicle in the concave portion, and a display device having a display surface disposed in the opening portion with the display surface directed to the rear of the vehicle.

A computer is programmed to, upon determining that a vehicle entered an autonomous-steering mode, deactivate a plurality of lights on a steering-wheel rim; and upon initiating a transition of the vehicle from the autonomous-steering mode to a manual-steering mode, illuminate at least one of the lights that is at a steering-wheel angle corresponding to a current steering angle of the vehicle.

A driving system is operatable at least in a first automated driving mode with automated longitudinal and/or lateral control, and in a different second automated driving mode with automated longitudinal and/or lateral control. The driving system has a steering wheel display with luminous elements for illuminating the steering wheel, which can be operated in different illumination states that are distinguishable by the driver. The luminous elements may illuminate the steering wheel rim, and are typically integrated into the steering wheel rim. The driving system specifies which illumination state of the different illumination states the steering wheel display has. The driving system specifies that, during operation of the driving system in the first driving mode, the steering wheel display is illuminated in a first illumination state. During operation of the driving system in the second driving mode, the steering wheel display is illuminated in a second illumination state that can be distinguished from the first illumination state by the driver.

It is aimed to provide a system for alerting a driver of a driver cabin of a motor vehicle, said system comprising: a plurality of light sources arranged in array to project a signal light against the windshield and/or side window, provided in the driver cabin along a horizontal contour of windshield and side windows, outside a line of sight of the driver, and arranged to show a mirror image of the light source in the windshield or side window, visible to the driver; a tracking controller, arranged to identify one or more objects to be tracked in the perimeter of the motor vehicle; a control system, coupled to the tracking controller for activating a number of light sources of the plurality of light sources, arranged to project a signal light indicative of said tracked object substantially centered along a virtual line of sight from the driver towards the identified object.

A display unit includes a layer with a plurality of sub-regions which are arranged adjacently to one another along an illuminated edge of the layer. A corresponding number of symbols are arranged in the sub-regions. The display unit additionally has a plurality of light sources. The said light sources are arranged adjacently to one another along the illuminated edge of the layer. Each light source is configured to emit light into the respective sub-region of the layer via the illuminated edge of the layer. The display unit additionally has a limiting element which is arranged between the illuminated edge of the layer and the light sources and which is configured to limit the light emitted from the light sources for each sub-region such that the symbol in the respective sub-region is illuminated in a selective manner by the light sources.

An illuminated stitching assembly for a vehicle interior, including: a diffuser; a light source; an outer layer secured to the diffuser; and stitches located on the outer layer, the stitches being illuminated by the light source, the light source being operably coupled to a controller, the controller being configured to operate the light source, wherein the diffuser is configured to be inserted into a cavity of a substrate layer.
