METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PROVIDING NOTIFICATIONS AND WARNINGS
Methods and systems for providing Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) warnings and/or other types of information to an occupant of a motor vehicle are provided. Warning lights can be provided around the perimeter of a shape that represents the perimeter of the vehicle from a top-view perspective. Lights around the shape can be lit to convey a sense of the area of danger and/or the direction from which danger is approaching.

ENHANCED COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE HAZARD LIGHTS
A system for implementing strobing of existing vehicle hazard lights including an interface to a vehicle wiring harness configured to receive input to an existing vehicle flasher module, and a strobing circuit that responds to an activation signal from the vehicle wiring harness that is indicative of a hazard flasher deployment event by producing an electrical output through the interface to the vehicle wiring harness that causes a strobing of existing vehicle hazard lamps.
PERSONAL SAFETY DEVICE, METHOD AND ARTICLE
A non-transitory computer-readable medium stores instructions, which cause control circuitry integrated into an article of clothing to perform a method. The method includes processing indications related to an environment of the article of clothing and activating, based on the processing of the one or more indications, pulsing circuitry integrated into the article of clothing to pulse in a selected pattern of a plurality of patterns. The plurality of patterns include patterns to indicate: location information related to one or more individuals; movement information related to one or more individuals; information related to one or more hazards in a vicinity of the wearer of the article of clothing; information providing instructions to the wearer of the article of clothing; and information indicative of whether one or more individuals have been determined to be a friend or a foe of a wearer of the article of clothing.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VARIABLE INTENSITY PATTERNS
A system, method and storage medium for providing an emergency lighting includes generating, by a controller, a driving control signal; receiving, by a light source, the driving control signal; and emitting, by the light source, light based on the driving control signal. Intensity of the light emitted from the light source repeatedly ramps up and ramps down with a first period based on the driving control signal.

Adaptive mapping to navigate autonomous vehicles responsive to physical environment changes
Various embodiments relate generally to autonomous vehicles and associated mechanical, electrical and electronic hardware, computer software and systems, and wired and wireless network communications to provide map data for autonomous vehicles. In particular, a method may include accessing subsets of multiple types of sensor data, aligning subsets of sensor data relative to a global coordinate system based on the multiple types of sensor data to form aligned sensor data, and generating datasets of three-dimensional map data. The method further includes detecting a change in data relative to at least two datasets of the three-dimensional map data and applying the change in data to form updated three-dimensional map data. The change in data may be representative of a state change of an environment at which the sensor data is sensed. The state change of the environment may be related to the presence or absences of an object located therein.
VEHICLE LIGHT
A vehicle light having at least one luminant and a cable-free interface for controlling the luminant via an integrated control device. The vehicle light includes an additional cable-bound communication and energy supply interface for controlling the luminant via the integrated control device, an energy storage device for supplying energy in the cable-free region, at least one integrated sensor for detecting vehicle states and/or the function of the cable-bound interface, and having an evaluation device for evaluating the data of the at least one sensor and for generating control signals for the control device from this.
