In various embodiments, methods, systems, and vehicle apparatuses are provided. The method includes receiving, via an interface of the V2X enabled safety triangle warning reflector, vehicle information before deployment for storing the vehicle information in a memory disposed locally at the V2X enabled safety triangle warning reflector for subsequent use at the deployment; generating, by a processor chip in communication with the memory, a failure message associated with the vehicle failure based at least on the vehicle information contained locally in memory; and broadcasting, the failure message generated by the processor chip via a transmitter disposed of in the V2X enable safety triangle warning reflector during a vehicle failure, wherein the failure message is broadcasted in a surrounding area of the failure vehicle on a set of multiple different channels including cloud, infrastructure and personal communication service (PCS) channels to entities that provide traffic and vehicle control.

A safety device comprises a light source, a power source coupled to the light source, a controller coupled to the light source and the power source to control operation of the lighting device, and a connection port that transmits and receives power up and control signals. In some embodiments, the connection port transmits and receives a wired signal. In further embodiments, the connection port transmits and receives a wireless signal. In some embodiments, the connection port receives a signal from an external source. In some of these embodiments, the external source is a remote control. In further embodiments, the external source is a program located on a computing device. In still further embodiments, the external source is one or more additional connection port of one or more additional safety devices. In some embodiments, the signal is a signal to power the light source.

A self-assembling network is configured to automatically and dynamically connect devices used in operations carried out on or near roads bearing vehicle and pedestrian traffic. An automatic, ad hoc network connecting existing and new devices can be used to enhance safety by gathering and exchanging safety critical information. In some cases, existing equipment can be augmented with a network controller and radio frequency communications to permit the devices to join a wireless local network and exchange information over the network. New devices, including wearable devices, can be configured to act as nodes on the wireless local network. Establishing the relative position of vehicles, sensors, wearables, and other nodes on the disclosed ad hoc wireless network allows the coordination of functions based on position.

A notification device includes: a notification-sound output portion provided in a vehicle and configured to output a notification sound toward the outside of the vehicle; a notification display portion provided in the vehicle and configured to output a notification display toward the outside of the vehicle; a notification controlling portion configured to control the notification sound of the notification-sound output portion and the notification display of the notification display portion; and a stop-state determination portion configured to determine whether the vehicle during the automatic driving enters a stop state or not. When the stop-state determination portion determines that the vehicle during the automatic driving enters the stop state, the notification controlling portion outputs a stop-time notification sound as the notification sound by the notification-sound output portion and outputs a stop-time notification display as the notification display by the notification display portion.

An inflatable warning system for roads that enables the user to warn the rear driver by expanding an inflatable tube, which is a warning system. More specifically, when the driver pulls the handle of the gas injector formed on the main body, the compressed gas stored in a gas container is instantaneously injected to the inflatable tube, and the warning system expanded by the injected compressed gas stands up, thereby notifying the rear driver to recognize the warning system to prevent an accident.

Among other things, techniques are described for expressive vehicle systems. These techniques may include obtaining, with at least one processor, data associated with an environment, the environment comprising a vehicle and at least one object; determining an expressive maneuver including a deceleration of the vehicle such that the vehicle stops at least a first distance away from the at least one object and the vehicle reaches a peak deceleration when the vehicle is a second distance away from the at least one object; generating data associated with control of the vehicle based on the deceleration associated with the expressive maneuver; and transmitting the data associated with the control of the vehicle to cause the vehicle to decelerate based on the deceleration associated with the expressive maneuver.

The present invention relates to a lighting apparatus for a vehicle that includes a housing; a screen unit mounted in the housing; and a projection unit fixed to the housing and configured to radiate light toward the screen unit.
