Disclosed is a wheel cover for a vehicle. The wheel cover is supported to be relatively rotatable with rotation of a wheel having a tire attached to an outer periphery of the wheel. The wheel cover has a shape indicating a moving direction of a vehicle or a figure indicating the moving direction of the vehicle outward in a vehicle width direction, and is configured to be turned by an actuator such that, when the moving direction of the vehicle is changed, the shape or the figure indicates the moving direction of the vehicle.

Systems, methods, tangible non-transitory computer-readable media, and devices associated with the operation of a vehicle are provided. For example, a wheel unit system can receive vehicle data including information associated with states of a vehicle. Further, the vehicle can include wheel wells associated with wheel units that are configured to generate indications associated with the states of the vehicle. The wheel unit system can also determine indications to generate on the wheel units based at least in part on the vehicle data. Furthermore, the wheel unit system can generate the indications on the wheel units. The indications can, for example, include visual indications or auditory indications.

A vehicle built-in electric jack system, including a plurality of electric jacks capable of lifting a vehicle. The plurality of jacks operates using a 12-volt power supply. The plurality of jacks are telescopic jacks. Each jack is made from a plurality of cylinders. The cylinders are apportioned such that each cylinder for a jack fits inside of the previous cylinder. Each of the plurality of jacks has a minimum of one light placed on the jack. The light is directed toward the wheel well of the vehicle. The jacks and lights are attached to a controller. The controller is located inside of the vehicle such that the jacks and lights can be operated while the user is inside of the vehicle cab. Further, each jack has a rocker switch located thereon that can control the jack to which it is attached.

A wheel of a mobility scooter includes a wheel body provided with a light emitting module. The light emitting module includes an LED lamp bar, a plane mirror and a two-way mirror. The LED lamp bar is disposed between the plane and two-way mirrors. Mirror surfaces of the plane and two-way mirrors face the LED lamp bar therebetween. A perspective surface of the two-way mirror faces an outer side of the wheel. Through optical characteristics of the two-way mirror and the plane mirror, a real image of the LED lamp is reflected back and forth between the two mirrors for infinite times. From the perspective surface, a black hole illusion that LED lamps extend indefinitely into the wheel one after another can be seen, so that the interior of the wheel presents a hollow visual effect which is eye-catching, thereby increasing the product attractiveness and improving the market competitiveness.

Provided is a smart wheel cap for a vehicle, including: a front cover emitting light to the outside and including a cover body and an LED light emitting window mounted on a front border of the cover body; a cap including a cap-shaped cap body which is mounted on a back side of the front cover, and has the back side opened, and is transparent or translucent and a primary bearing mounted on a front inside of the cap body; a generator unit including a stator unit mounted on the back side of the cap and not rotating together with the front cover or cap and a rotor unit rotating together with the front cover or cap; and a rear cover coupled with the front cover and fixing locations of the cap and the generator unit, and having a mounting hook mounted on a wheel, provided on a back.

An illuminated spare tire cover, designed to enclose an externally mounted spare tire, has an outer covering with a plurality of grommeted openings therethrough. The openings form a pattern. An electric light is located within each opening, such that a lighted image is created through the pattern when the lights are illuminated. Strips of Velcro hold the lights in place. The lights can be configured as various images, logos, symbols, lettering, etc. An internal layer made of non-flammable material fits over the interior surface of the outer covering to insulate and support the cover and reinforce the lights located within the interior surface of the outer covering. The cover is equipped with electrical wiring and an electrical connector plug. An extension cord is connected to the vehicle's electrical outlet and run under the vehicle's seats to be connected to the electric connector plug.

A peripheral image generation device acquires a plurality of camera images obtained from a plurality of cameras each of which captures a periphery of the vehicle. The peripheral image generation device stores a traveling direction camera image that is a part or all of images included in the plurality of camera images and captured at least in a traveling direction of the vehicle. The peripheral image generation device generates an underfloor transparent image that is a composite image transmitting a bottom of the vehicle based on the plurality of camera images and the traveling direction camera image.

A decorative lighting system for a vehicle wheel incorporating a mounting ring with an adjustable diameter. The adjustable mounting ring is made as two separate segments. The two segments include cooperative overlapping extensions that allow them to be linked together into a circle having a desired diameter.

An illuminable vehicle component and a method for illuminating a vehicle component includes a vehicle component including an A-surface, a photoluminescent or electroluminescent light source covering the A-surface, a pigmented layer coving the photoluminescent or electroluminescent light source, and an optional optically clear top coat covering the pigmented layer. When the photoluminescent or electroluminescent light source is not activated and is not emitting light, the pigmented layer has an opaque appearance. When the photoluminescent or electroluminescent light source is activated to emit light, light emitted from the photoluminescent or electroluminescent light source is transmitted through the pigmented layer and the optional optically clear top coat such that the illuminable vehicle component has an illuminated appearance and the component is illuminated.

A light emitting device for an automobile wheel is capable of generating electrical energy through torque of an automobile wheel, illuminating an advertisement member using the generated electrical energy, and controlling the advertisement member to display advertisement contents at a correct posture without being tilted in response to a reverse magnetic field generated during the electricity generation process.
