An apparatus for outputting platooning information by a platooning vehicle in a platooning group may include: one or more lamps configured to project light onto a road; a communication circuit; a controller configured to control a platooning operation of the vehicle; and a control circuit electrically connected with the one or more lamps, the communication circuit, and the controller. The control circuit may be configured to: control the one or more lamps so as to output on the road a distance range between the platooning vehicle and an outside vehicle that is not part of the platooning group when a request from the outside vehicle to join the platooning group is approved by the platooning vehicle or a leading vehicle of the platooning group. The distance range may be a distance required to join the platooning group.

A vehicle state determining unit (1) for determining a state of a vehicle, a display data output unit (7) for outputting display data for displaying information indicating the state of the vehicle determined by the vehicle state determining unit (1), and an information displaying unit (10) for determining display time of the information from the state of the vehicle determined by the vehicle state determining unit (1) and displaying the information to the outside of the vehicle in accordance with the display data output from the display data output unit (7) during the display time, in which the information displaying unit (10) is configured to switch a display method of the information in accordance with the display time. Thus, a degree of information transmission may be increased.

Information related to a vehicle can be displayed by projecting an image based on the information on a road surface or the like. An image projection apparatus that projects an image includes: an acquisition unit that acquires information to be displayed; and an image projection unit that projects the image based on the information to be displayed acquired by the acquisition unit.

A system that includes a notification light configured to be coupled with a first vehicle and to emit light to notify an approaching, second vehicle of the location of the first vehicle. A controller is provided that includes one or more processors configured to determine one or more of a direction of movement of the first vehicle, a speed of the movement of the first vehicle, or a distance between the first vehicle and the approaching, second vehicle. The controller is configured to notify the approaching, second vehicle of the one or more of the direction of the movement of the first vehicle, the speed of the movement of the first vehicle, or the distance between the first vehicle and the second vehicle by directing the notification light to change a characteristic of the light emitted by the notification light.

A system is disclosed for sequentially illuminating segments of vehicle LED arrays of tail lights, when running lights are on, in response to incremental changes in vehicle speed. In response to rapid vehicle deceleration above a predetermined threshold, the system cyclically moves a darkened segment across an illuminated array of LED brake lights with or without the operator applying the brakes.
