A composite vehicle lamp includes: a lamp unit; and a lamp housing configured to house a plurality of the lamp units. Each of the plurality of the lamp units has: a light source; and an optical system configured to emit light from the light source in a desired light distribution. The plurality of the lamp units includes: one light-guide-type lamp unit having a light guide; and another light-guide-type lamp unit having another light guide whose form is different from that of the one light-guide-type lamp unit. The one light-guide-type lamp unit and the another light-guide-type lamp unit are turned on as lamps having the same function.

A display on a front, back or side of a vehicle, linked to an on board computer or a can-bus of said vehicle for displaying changes in the trajectory of the vehicle, wherein rear display provides a non-binary illuminated warning in response to detected changes in trajectory of the vehicle.

An image projection apparatus that can be attached to a vehicle and can be effectively utilized for acquisition of road surface condition information, detection of a hidden vehicle, and the like is provided. The image projection apparatus that projects an image includes: an acquisition unit that acquires information related to a vehicle; an image projection unit that projects an image based on the information acquired by the acquisition unit; and imaging means that acquires an image outside the vehicle, the image projection unit projects light in a wavelength band centered on a wavelength of 1.4 m and the imaging means provides the information related to the vehicle by imaging an image projected based on the light in the wavelength band centered on the wavelength of 1.4 m.

A direction indicator is configured to start blinking in response to an operation of a driver of a subject vehicle and automatically turn off after a first blinking time elapses. When the subject vehicle changes lanes in an automated or autonomous manner due to the operation of the driver, a control apparatus is used to extend the first blinking time to a second blinking time longer than the first blinking time and control the direction indicator to automatically turn off.

An aftermarket vehicle turn signal assembly and a method of retrofitting the turn signal assembly to a grille of a vehicle are disclosed. The turn signal assembly enables users to customize their vehicles by repositioning a turn signal from a factory original fender location, for example, to an aftermarket opening formed on the grille. Using special drill templates designed for a specific vehicle, a user can locate a position for a hole, and later drill a hole into the grille of a vehicle. A user can then insert an aftermarket turn signal assembly into the hole, and secure the turn signal assembly to the grill. The user can then remove the factory original turn signal light source from the original fender location, and place the light source within the aftermarket turn signal assembly.

Described herein are systems, methods, and kits useful for signaling the intention and execution of a U-turn maneuver by a motor vehicle. A combination of existing headlights, reverse lights, turn-signal lights and side light modules are used in concert to generate a universally applicable signal that communicates to other travelers that a U-turn maneuver is intended and under execution. The signaling can be mediated via use of a U-turn signal switch that activates the light modules of a vehicle that correspond to the direction of the U-turn maneuver.

An apparatus and a method for controlling driving of a vehicle are provided. The apparatus includes a sensor configured to obtain driving environment information and vehicle driving information, and a controller configured to calculate a time to collision with a following vehicle based on the driving environment information when a lane change is necessary to be performed while flashing an emergency light, and to control flashing of the emergency light or a turn indicator based on the time to collision and the vehicle driving information when the lane change is performed.

A vehicle lamp has a roof unit. The roof unit includes a plurality of types of light output units having different illumination functions, a light emission drive unit configured to cause the plurality of types of light output units to output lights, and a monitoring sensor. The roof unit is arranged at a roof part of a vehicle.
