A vehicle includes an automated apparatus extending from the vehicle and a projection system. The projection system includes a projector positioned on the vehicle. The projector is configured to operate to provide a projection onto a ground surface, the projection covering a zone. The automated apparatus is configured to operate within the zone.

A vehicle lighting system is provided herein. The vehicle lighting system includes an electronic adaptive drive beam system having a light source, a projection lens, and a digital micromirror device attached to a substrate. The lighting system further includes a camera. A controller is configured to determine a target parking space and initiate the electronic adaptive drive beam to continually outline the boundary thereof.

A vehicle parking indicator device to provide an indication of space needed for access into a vehicle. The device includes an interior attachment device securable to an interior of a vehicle door. The device may include an exterior attachment device coupleable to the interior attachment device to releasably secure the exterior attachment device to a window of a vehicle. The device may include a frame connected to the exterior attachment device and configured to support a placard, the frame positionable between a first position and a second position, wherein in the first position the frame is substantially perpendicular to the window of the vehicle and in the second position the frame is substantially parallel to the window of the vehicle.

The present disclosure relates to a motor vehicle, including a projection system having at least one first and at least one second projection device. The at least one first projection device has at least one first light source and the at least second projection device has at least one second light source, where at least one first light projection can be projected into surroundings of the motor vehicle by the at least first projection device. The at least first light projection defines an actual position of the stationary motor vehicle, and at least one second light projection can be projected into surroundings of the motor vehicle by the at least second projection device. The at least second light projection defines a target position defining a parking position of the motor vehicle. The at least second projection device can be set by the user to change the target position. A deviation between the actual position and the target position can be determined via a detection device. Depending on the determined deviation, control parameters for performing an autonomous driving maneuver, in the context of which the motor vehicle can be maneuvered autonomously into the parking position, can be determined via a control device.
