A method for operating a beacon light of a machine is described. The method includes activating, by a processing unit, the beacon light based on a signal to indicate an operational state of the machine. The signal corresponds to one or more machine parameters in the operational state of the machine.

A vehicular, adaptive brake light to custom light sequencing system generally includes an OEM vehicular brake light circuit electrically connected to OEM brake lights of a vehicle, and an aftermarket flashing circuit electrically connected within or to the OEM vehicular brake light circuit to cause the OEM brake lights to flash. The system further includes an aftermarket directional indicator circuit electrically connected within or to the OEM vehicular brake light circuit and electrically connected to the aftermarket flashing circuit to effectuate a flashing of at least one of an OEM left brake light and an OEM right brake light. The system also includes an aftermarket hazard light circuit that is electrically connected within or to the OEM brake light circuit and to the aftermarket flashing circuit to effectuate a flashing hazard by the OEM brake lights. Alternate sequencing systems include solid state electronics and protection against environmental contaminants.

The present disclosure in one aspect provides technologies for light systems used for roadside emergencies for preventing injuries by providing motor vehicle operators with time to react to emergency situations. In various aspect, technologies provide herein may include structural and electrical components useful in light systems that may serve as visual cues to drivers that a corrective action needs to be taken to avoid further accident and injury. In various aspects, light system technologies are specifically adapted to provide enough warning to oncoming traffic using structural and electrical configurations optimized such that corrective action may be taken in a timely manner.

An autonomous driving control apparatus for a vehicle includes: a processor that demands a user of a vehicle to take a control authority of the vehicle during an autonomous driving control when a current driving condition is in a limit situation during the autonomous driving control, and starts a minimum risk maneuver to disable reactivation of the autonomous driving control when the control authority is not transferred to the user; and a storage to store a set of instructions to be executed by the processor and data for determination and performance by the processor. In particular, the processor automatically flashes an emergency light when the minimum risk maneuver is started, and controls automatic flashing of the emergency light to not be released by the user when the vehicle is not in a stopped state.

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for detecting, alerting, and acting to prevent unattended vehicle deaths. An embodiment operates by receiving one or more signals from one or more presence sensors in a vehicle and analyzing the signals to detect the presence of a person or animal inside the vehicle. The system further receives one or more signals from one or more environment sensors on the vehicle and analyzes the signals to detect a dangerous environmental condition. If the system determines that both the presence of a person or animal has been detected inside the vehicle and a dangerous environmental condition has been detected, it activates one or more vehicle systems that mitigate the dangerous environmental condition and sends an alert to one or more predetermined recipients.
