External facing communications for autonomous vehicles
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.
Method and device for providing feedback to outside of vehicle, device, and storage medium
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and a device for providing feedback to outside a vehicle, a device, and a computer readable storage medium. The method includes: detecting an attention state of a pedestrian to the vehicle, wherein the attention state is configured to indicate whether the pedestrian notices the vehicle; determining feedback information of the vehicle to the pedestrian based at least in part on the attention state; and controlling an output component of the vehicle to output the feedback information.
NOTIFICATION DEVICE FOR COMMUNICATION IN VEHICLE
A notification device for communication in a vehicle is provided. The notification device includes a display, a housing that houses the display, a transparent outer lens that covers a front-end opening of the housing and faces the display, and a display cooling device that cools the display with cooling air, in which the display cooling device includes a cooling air passage in which the cooling air flows from the rear of the housing toward a lower portion of the housing through a front surface side of the display and is discharged from the lower portion between the housing and the outer lens.
COMMUNICATION SUPPORT DEVICE IN VEHICLE
A communication support device in a vehicle, which has left and right round lights in a front end part of the vehicle, includes: left and right notification devices having ring-shaped light-emitting parts with changeable light-emitting regions while surrounding the left and right round lights respectively when viewed from a front; and a control device controlling light emission of the ring-shaped light-emitting part so that the light-emitting region of the ring-shaped light-emitting part changes according to an operating state of the vehicle. Accordingly, communication of intention in a notification mode as if there were eye contact with a person outside the vehicle can be easily achieved.
Personal safety device, method and article
An article of clothing includes user-protection circuitry, integrated into the article of clothing. The user-protection circuitry includes condition-detection circuitry, which, in operation, generates one or more indications related to an environment of the article of clothing. The user-protection circuitry also includes broadcast circuitry including at least one pulsing device, and control circuitry. The control circuitry, in operation, activates the broadcast circuitry based on the one or more indications related to the environment of the article of clothing generated by the condition-detection circuitry.
IRRADIATION APPARATUS AND IRRADIATION METHOD
When information regarding a situation inside and outside a vehicle is determined to match a display change condition, a control unit (32) changes a display mode of information displayed outside the vehicle by controlling a projector device (4a) or a body light device (4b).
AUTONOMOUS DRIVING VEHICLE INFORMATION PRESENTATION APPARATUS
In an autonomous driving vehicle information presentation apparatus, an estimation unit estimates a scheduled path for a host vehicle M. A prediction unit predicts a scheduled path for traffic participants. Based on the scheduled path for the host vehicle and the scheduled path for the traffic participants, an interference determination unit determines whether these two scheduled paths will interfere with each other in a predetermined time period. If the two scheduled paths will interfere with each other in the predetermined time period, an extraction unit extracts a specific traffic participant to be involved in the interference among the traffic participants. An information presentation unit presents information for avoiding the interference to the specific traffic participant extracted by the extraction unit as a presentation target.
Lamp for vehicle
A lamp for a vehicle allows a pedestrian to identify a state of the vehicle by displaying an emblem, logo, or driving status of the vehicle. The lamp for the vehicle includes a substrate; a light source unit including a plurality of light sources disposed on the substrate to generate light; a lens unit including a plurality of optical lenses through which the light is transmitted; and an imaging sheet on which the light transmitted through the plurality of optical lenses is projected to form a lighting image. In particular, each of the plurality of optical lenses is formed in a right triangle shape.
AUTONOMOUS DRIVING VEHICLE INFORMATION PRESENTATION APPARATUS
An autonomous driving vehicle information presentation apparatus including: a congestion information obtaining unit; a stop position prediction unit; an action plan generation unit; and an information presentation unit is provided.
AUTONOMOUS DRIVING VEHICLE INFORMATION PRESENTATION APPARATUS
In an autonomous driving vehicle information presentation apparatus, based on outside information, an identification unit searches for a person present around a host vehicle and identifies whether the person extracted by the search matches a user of the host vehicle. When a result of the identification by the identification unit indicates that the person extracted by the search matches the user of the host vehicle, the information presentation unit presents information by using a preset presenting state to a specific person, as a presentation target, identified to match the user of the host vehicle by the identification unit with an exterior display apparatus provided at a front portion of the host vehicle.
