An emergency vehicle that is displaying emergency lights detects an approaching vehicle, and assesses road conditions, intensity of the emergency lights at the approaching vehicle, a response of the approaching vehicle to the emergency lights, and a state variable related to a driver of the approaching vehicle. The emergency vehicle then obtains a likelihood value that the approaching vehicle will initiate an accident, by supplying information about the road conditions, the intensity of the emergency lights at the approaching vehicle, the response of the approaching vehicle, and the state variable as inputs to a neural network trained to correlate accidents to such information. In response to the likelihood value exceeding a threshold value, the emergency vehicle modifies the emergency lights.

The present disclosure pertains to a light system for mounting to an automobile that alerts surrounding vehicles to emergency conditions on the automobile without the necessity of establishing electrical communication with the control system of the automobile. The light system utilizes a movable contactor that serves to activate and deactivate the light when the light system is tilted.

A vehicle lamp with a rotating light source may include a signal receiver which receives a signal from one or more sensors provided in a vehicle; a light emitting diode (LED) portion having one or more LED elements configured to emit light toward an outside of the vehicle; a controller connected to the one or more LED elements and configured to control a light generation amount of the one or more LED elements; a signal transmitter which is connected to the signal receiver, receives the signal from the signal receiver and transmits the received signal to the controller; and a driver coupled to the LED portion and configured to rotate the LED portion, wherein the controller controls the light generation amount of the one or more LED elements in a response to the signal.

A vehicle frontal illumination system includes a bracket attached to a front of a vehicle, where the bracket includes a light receiving surface that faces the front of the vehicle. The system also includes one or more lights attached to the light receiving surface of the bracket such that the one or more lights face the front of the vehicle. The system further includes a control system in communication with the light, where the control system is configured to turn the one or more lights on to illuminate the front of the vehicle to reduce the likelihood of an animal vehicle collision.

Systems, methods and apparatuses to recognize a threat to a vehicle from a distance and generate alarms or alerts in response. For example, a camera of a vehicle in a parking state can capture an image of the surrounding of the vehicle. When a person approaching the vehicle from a distance is identified from the image, an artificial neural network evaluates, based at least in part on one or more images from the camera, the level of threat from the person approaching the vehicle. In response to the threat level being above a threshold, the vehicle can generate an alarm to deter illegal activities and/or send an alert to a remote device, such as a mobile device of an owner, driver, authorized user, or security agent.

A hazard beacon has an interface to a vehicle wiring harness configured to detect that vehicle emergency indicators have been deployed, a plurality of separately strobe capable light segments forming a hazard symbol, and a microcontroller controlling operation of the plurality of separately strobe capable light segments.

A display device provided in a vehicle that travels autonomously includes: a display unit configured to display information to an outside of the vehicle; a determination unit configured to determine whether a travel state of the vehicle is any one of a deceleration state, a stop state, and a start state, based on a detection result of an internal sensor of the vehicle; and a display control unit configured to display on the display unit the information corresponding to each of the deceleration state, the stop state, and the start state, based on a determination result of the determination unit. In response to the determination unit having determined that the vehicle is in the deceleration state, the display control unit is configured to display on the display unit the information including a display moving from an upper side to a lower side along a vertical direction of the vehicle.
