A vehicle control system includes a control part in which a public road mode that is selected at a time of traveling on a public road and a non-public road mode of a setting that is suitable for a travel in a non-public road region are set as a travel mode, wherein the control part is configured to allow a safety protection component of a vehicle to perform a normal operation that is required at a time of traveling on a public road when the public road mode is selected and is configured to allow the safety protection component to perform an alarm operation that is different from the normal operation when the non-public road mode is selected.

A vehicular vision system includes a driver-side exterior mirror assembly, a passenger-side mirror assembly and an interior mirror assembly. The fields of view of the mirror reflective elements of the exterior mirror assemblies are adjustable by the driver via a respective actuator. The exterior mirror assemblies include respective cameras that each have a respective rearward field of view that supplements the field of view of the mirror reflective element when viewed by the driver of the vehicle. A video display is disposed behind the mirror reflector of an interior mirror reflective element such that displayed video images are viewable through the mirror reflector of the interior mirror reflective element. The video display includes a driver-side display portion and a passenger-side display portion that each display images derived from image data captured by the respective camera while not displaying images derived from image data captured by the other camera.

A notifying device mounted in a vehicle has a controller and a light emitter. The controller determines, based on a detection result of a plurality of objects existing in a periphery of the vehicle, respective directions of notification objects included in the plurality of objects with the vehicle as a reference. The light emitter emits light in the respective directions.

Aspects of the disclosure provide for displaying notifications on a display of an autonomous vehicle 100. In one instance, a distance from the vehicle to a destination of the vehicle or a passenger may be determined. When the distance is between a first distance and a second distance, a first notification 650 may be displayed on the display. The second distance may be less than the first distance. When the distance is less than the second distance, a second notification 660 may be displayed on the display. The second notification provides additional information not provided by the first notification.

The disclosure provides a vehicle approach notification device and a picking truck. A vehicle approach notification device includes a first illumination portion provided on a cab capable of elevation, a second illumination portion provided on a vehicle body incapable of elevation, and a control unit that (1) turns on or blinks the first illumination portion and turns off the second illumination portion when a travel state of the vehicle body is backward travel and an elevation position is lower than a predetermined threshold value; (2) turns off the first illumination portion and turns on or blinks the second illumination portion when the travel state is backward travel or travel stop and the elevation position is equal to or higher than the threshold value; and (3) turns off the first illumination portion and the second illumination portion when the travel state is forward travel.

A visual front alert system attached to a vehicle windshield for instructing observers as to movement of the vehicle. A strip shaped body incorporates a plurality of illuminating elements communicating with a PCBA. An accelerometer connected to the PCBA, with a power supply operating the accelerometer and PCBA. In response to a determined acceleration of the structure, the accelerometer inputting a signal to the PCBA representative of the vehicle movement and the PCBA in turn providing an output signal causing illuminating elements to generate a visual output corresponding to said input signal. The visual output further includes a first output representative of a steady or accelerating motion of the vehicle and a second output further representative of a decelerating or braking condition of the vehicle.
