An automatic driving system, that switches a driving state of a vehicle from automatic driving to manual driving due to a driver's operation during automatic driving of the vehicle, includes an electronic control unit configured to: determine whether a turning-off condition is satisfied when a direction indicator under the automatic driving is in a turned-on state and the driver's operation is performed; switch a driving state from the automatic driving to the manual driving and maintain the turned-on state of the direction indicator when the direction indicator is in the turned-on state and the driver's operation has been performed; determine whether the turning-off condition is satisfied based on a position of the vehicle under the manual driving or a traveling state of the vehicle under the manual driving; switch the direction indicator from the turned-on state to the turned-off state when it is determined that the turning-off condition is satisfied.

A lever operation device includes a housing, a lever portion which is attached to the housing and on which a first rotation operation about a first shaft is performed, a magnet attached to a tip portion of the lever portion, a magnetic sensor that is arranged in the housing so as to be located on extension from the tip portion, and a detent portion provided on the lever portion and includes a detent tip end portion and an elastic portion, the detent tip end portion generating a detent by moving with a tilt in a direction of the first rotation operation from a direction of extension from the tip portion of the lever portion and coming into contact with a detent surface of a detent wall arranged on the housing, and the elastic portion applying an elastic force to the detent tip end portion.

A car includes: a left side and a right side; a first light emitter coupled to the left side of the car; a second light emitter coupled to the right side of the car; a first camera coupled to the left side of the car, the first camera configured to generate a first image; a second camera coupled to the right side of the car, the second camera configured to generate a second image; wherein the first camera and the second camera are located closer to a front end of the car than a back end of the car.

A meter structure in which reduction in dimension of a display part can be attained and displays of indicators can be easily seen. The meter structure includes: a meter device provided with a display part; and a light source for indicators on an outer-peripheral side surface of the meter device.

A control system is operable within a host vehicle to control the operation of signaling apparatus indicative of a driver intent to execute right, left or U-turn actions. The control system includes a voice recognition circuit for activating turn signal devices within the vehicle. In some embodiments, a wireless link facilitates aftermarket applications while in other embodiments original equipment manufacturer is accommodated.

A vehicle directional indicator is provided for enhancing the safety and knowledge of all persons using roadways, including drivers, pedestrians, and bikers. Depending on the position applied to the directional indicator for a driver or driverless vehicle, power can be sent to the left turn signal light or the right turn signal light or the straight ahead signal light. These signal lights include indicator lights on the dashboard, as well as front and rear exterior indicator lights. The straight ahead directional indication is particularly useful at an intersection, where multiple vehicles and pedestrians are weighing the directional indicators of the other vehicles at the intersection, assured clear distances, oncoming traffic and multiple other traffic patterns, to provide the safest and most timely continued travel.

An apparatus for a car includes: a sensor configured to sense a characteristic of an environment outside the car; and a processing unit; wherein the processing unit is configured to detect an automatic activation of a turn signal light of the car; and wherein the processing unit is also configured to generate a control signal to automatically turn off the turn signal light of the car.

A road vehicle that has: a passenger compartment delimited by a roof at the top; at least one front seat arranged in the passenger compartment; and a manual control arranged on the roof for the activation of hazard warning flashers.

A safety lighting system is connected to a hazard flasher or blinker system of a vehicle, such as a semi-tractor trailer. The system comprises an electrical circuitry for connecting the safety lighting system to the hazard flasher system, brake lights, and/or turn signals for activation of the safety lighting system when the flasher system, brake lights, and/or turn signals are activated. An LED is mounted in a trapezoidal shaped hood of a housing assembly and its illumination is reflected by a reflective inner surface of the hood and directed towards the wheel assemblies of the vehicle to provide adequate lighting around the area surrounding the wheel assemblies. A mounting frame assembly supports the housing assembly and LED for their positioning underneath the vehicle and attachment near the wheel assemblies. In a further embodiment, bolts may be used to attach the housing assembly and LED to the vehicle near the wheels.

Various embodiments provide a signaling system for a pushable transport object. The signaling system includes a signaling device and a control device. The signaling device includes at least one indicator light controllable to display a left signal and a right signal, and a first mounting component for mounting the signaling device to a cart. The control device is communicative with the signaling device to control the at least one indicator light. The control device includes a user interface for receiving a user input, in which the user interface includes a left input component for controlling the at least one indicator light to display the left signal and a right input component for controlling the at least one indicator light to display the right signal. The control device further includes a second mounting component for mounting the control device to a handle of the cart.
