A system for providing a projected security zone adjacent a vehicle includes an external projector in communication with a system controller and adapted to project a first graphic onto a surface adjacent the vehicle, the first graphic defining a pre-determined security zone, and a plurality of onboard sensors in communication with the system controller and adapted to detect the presence of an individual positioned within the projected security zone, the system controller adapted to provide a warning to the individual.

An accessory attachment system includes a baseplate that provides an attachment interface on a support surface. The baseplate is configured to engage with at least one accessory via the attachment interface to secure the accessory to the support surface. The attachment interface provides a plurality of different mounting positions for the at least one accessory. At least one mounting foot is associated with the at least one accessory and is configured to be selectively coupled to the attachment interface to provide a desired one of the plurality of different mounting positions. The at least one mounting foot includes an adjustment feature to account for any warpage of the support surface when the at least one accessory is mounted in the desired one of the plurality of different mounting positions.

Methods and systems are disclosed herein for modifying one or more color changing exterior surfaces of a vehicle in response to identified safety events. Specifically, a safety event is identified in a surrounding environment of a vehicle that comprises one or more color-changing exterior surfaces. In response to the identifying of the safety event, a color scheme is selected for the one or more color-changing exterior surfaces of the vehicle based on the type or safety event and the appearance of the surrounding environment. One or more color changing exterior surfaces of the vehicle are modified to match the selected color scheme.

A lighting apparatus for a vehicle may include: a first body mounted on a vehicle body, a second body rotatably installed in the first body, a driving unit configured to rotate the second body, a lighting unit rotated along with the second body and configured to radiate a lighting signal to an outside of the vehicle, a speaker unit rotated along with the second body and configured to output an acoustic signal to the outside of the vehicle.
