A motor vehicle including a lighting module that generates a set of symbols on the ground in the surroundings of the motor vehicle and a control device that controls the operation of the lighting module. The control device is designed such that it predicts the movement of a road user present in the surroundings of the motor vehicle based on information relating to the road user, and that it automatically adapts the set of symbols depending on the predicted movement of the road user.

Systems, devices, and methods for replacing an existing truck cab braking light with an after-market or retrofit universal elongated light emitting diode (LED) light device which can easily replace existing truck cab rear facing brake lights, and do not require different types of light devices for different trucks, and can be rigidly sealed and seated against the rear of the truck cab with additional fasteners. The replacement light system include three sets of printed circuit boards having LEDS (light emitting diodes) that can be independently operated or operated together, in different colors, such as but not limited to red and white color emissions in various operating conditions.

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.

The present disclosure relates to a motor vehicle having a control device and at least one lighting device, which comprises several light-emitting diodes arranged to be distributed within at least one surface, wherein at least one signal light can be generated by means of the lighting device. The control device is designed to individually control the light-emitting diodes and/or several groups of the light-emitting diodes such that a contour of the signal light is dependent upon at least one item of operational information. The at least one item of operational information is at least one item of driver assistance information which describes a current operating situation and/or a current vehicle environment situation of the motor vehicle and which can be generated by means of a driver assistance system of the motor vehicle, and/or at least one item of user action information which can be generated by means of at least one operating device of the motor vehicle by a user.

A control device for a vehicle including a right lamp unit and a left lamp unit includes a flashing control unit configured to control flashing of the right lamp unit and the left lamp unit, and a behavior control unit configured to execute at least a deceleration process for decelerating the vehicle in a traveling lane and a course change process for causing the vehicle to enter an adjacent lane or a road shoulder from the traveling lane when a driver of the vehicle is in a state that is inappropriate to continue driving. The flashing control unit is configured to flash the right lamp unit and the left lamp unit in the same pattern when the behavior control unit executes the deceleration process, and to flash the right lamp unit and the left lamp unit in different patterns when the behavior control unit executes the course change process.

A system includes a microcontroller that controls illumination of a plurality of vehicle lights that are operable in a flashing state wherein the plurality of lights operate as hazard flashers visible on a front and rear of a vehicle and a strobing state wherein the plurality of lights operate as strobing lights visible on the front and rear of the vehicle. The system includes a strobe activation switch that provides a signal to the microcontroller to operate the plurality of vehicle lights in the second strobing state. The microcontroller operates the plurality of vehicle lights in the first hazard flasher state in response activation of an existing hazard flasher switch. The strobing state has a flash rate that is perceptibly faster than a flash rate of the flashing state.

A variable beam pattern lamp system for a driver provides an input device that receives personal information of the driver, a lamp driving device that drives an indoor or outdoor lamp of a vehicle to output a beam pattern matched to the driver, based on the personal information of the driver, the personal information being input through the input device, and a vehicle controller that determines whether the personal information is registered driver information or unregistered driver information, when the personal information of the driver is input through the input device, and controls the lamp driving device to drive the indoor or outdoor lamp of the vehicle using beam patterns respectively corresponding to that the personal information is the registered driver information and that the personal information is the unregistered driver information.

Systems and methods of warning approaching vehicles of an autonomous vehicle. A method of warning approaching vehicles on an autonomous vehicle includes receiving one or more sensor signals from one or more vehicle sensors on the autonomous vehicle, determining a stopped condition of the vehicle based on the one or more sensor signals, activating one or more warning indicators on a warning indicator device based on the stopped condition. The warning indicator device is mounted on the autonomous vehicle.

By a vehicle control notification device or a vehicle control notification method, an automated driving-related state of a vehicle is identified, a vehicle exterior notification device is controlled for performing vehicle exterior notification that is notification of information related to the automated driving toward an outside of the vehicle, and a type of the vehicle exterior notification is changed according to the identified automated driving-related state.
