Provided are an autonomous vehicle 100 traveling along a set route, a delivery system, and a program, the autonomous vehicle including a pair of display units 103 installed at left and right on the front face of the main body and a monitoring camera 104 for shooting the front, sides, and rear of the autonomous vehicle 100, wherein by displaying predetermined eye-shaped images on the display unit 103 based on the state of the autonomous vehicle 100 and the images shot by the monitoring camera 104, the eye-shaped images are changed depending on the state of obstacles to ensure friendliness to people in stores and at delivery destinations as well as surrounding people during travel.

The present invention relates to a method for sending information to an individual (11) located in the environment of a vehicle (10), the method comprising the following steps: acquiring an image of the environment of the vehicle (10), detecting, where applicable, at least one individual (11) on the acquired image, determining a probability of collision between the individual (11) detected on the acquired image and the vehicle (10), sending at least one item of information to the detected individual (11), the information sent depending on the determined probability of collision, the steps of detecting, determining and sending being repeated, for the same individual (11), with subsequent acquired images as long as said individual (11) is detected on said images and as long as the probability of collision is greater than a threshold.

A moving body is configured to perform autonomous operation. The moving body includes: a first body including at least one wheel and configured to travel by the at least one wheel; a second body attachable to and detachable from the first body; and a display circuit arranged to face an outer side of the first body. The display circuit is configured to display at least a first schematic pattern of a first eye and a second schematic pattern of a second eye.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for displaying display information according to a driving environment and a method thereof. The apparatus for displaying display information according to the driving environment according to the present invention includes an input unit receiving driving environment information, a memory in which a program for controlling internal and external displays of a vehicle according to a driving environment is stored, and a processor executing the program, wherein the processor controls to select and project display information according to the driving environment information in an internal screen area and an external screen area according to preset partitioning.

A system for adjusting a closure element of a vehicle comprises an adjustment drive for adjusting the closure element relative to a vehicle body of the vehicle between a closed position and an open position, a control device for actuating the adjustment drive for executing an adjusting movement of the closure element between the closed position and the open position, and a light generating device for generating a light signal. The control device is configured to actuate the light generating device for generating a first light signal during an adjusting movement of the closure element and for generating a second light signal when the closure element is in the open position.

An image for communication with outside pedestrians is implemented by an afterimage effect by means of a cylindrical display installed at an upper end of a mobility vehicle, and visibility is ensured. In addition, the number of light sources for implementing the image is reduced, an overall size of a lighting device is reduced, and durability and reliability are improved because there is no direct mechanical contact.

At least one embodiment of this disclosure includes a method for an autonomous vehicle (e.g., a fully autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle) to communicate with external observers. The method includes: receiving a task at the autonomous vehicle; collecting data that characterizes a surrounding environment of the autonomous vehicle from a sensor coupled to the autonomous vehicle; determining an intended course of action for the autonomous vehicle to undertake based on the task and the collected data; and conveying a human understandable output via an output device, the human understandable output expressly or implicitly indicating the intended course of action to an external observer.

A vehicle includes a combined display-lighting unit. The combined display-lighting unit has, combined in a single component, an electronic paper display device forming an information zone and a lighting unit forming an illumination zone.

The present invention relates to a method for sending information to an individual (11) located in the environment of a vehicle (10), the method comprising the following steps: acquiring an image of the environment of the vehicle (10), detecting, where applicable, at least one individual (11) on the acquired image, determining a probability of collision between the individual (11) detected on the acquired image and the vehicle (10), sending at least one item of information to the detected individual (11), the information sent depending on the determined probability of collision, the steps of detecting, determining and sending being repeated, for the same individual (11), with subsequent acquired images as long as said individual (11) is detected on said images and as long as the probability of collision is greater than a threshold.

A puddle light system projects content-bearing images onto a ground surface adjacent a vehicle using a puddle light projector unit having a multicolor light source configured to project the content-bearing images using at least one selected color from a plurality of available colors. An image sensor directed at the ground surface and mounted on the vehicle is configured to capture colored images. A controller is configured to (A) construct one of the content-bearing images as an image representation with an illumination region to be projected onto the ground, (B) analyze a first colored image of the ground surface with the light source deactivated to identify a dominant surface color, (C) select a complementary color relative to the dominant surface color, (D) colorize the illumination region using the selected complementary color, and (E) command the puddle light projector unit to project the image representation using the colorized illumination region.
