A U-turn indication system having a signal light retained in a housing integrally formed within a motor vehicle having a plurality of arrows positioned in a radiused orientation to alert surrounding drivers or pedestrians of a U-Turn procedure with a series of lights. This U-turn indication system is mechanically actuated by a switch located inside the interior of the motor vehicle while the signal indicator is located on at least one exterior surface of the motor vehicle. The U-turn indicator having light emitting units is positioned within a light housing of the motor vehicle and is configured to be visually located by pedestrians, drivers of oncoming vehicles, and/or drivers of approaching vehicles.

An indicator apparatus for a vehicle is provided which draws an indication of a predetermined shape on a road surface on a side of a course of travel by illuminating light onto the road surface when a user performs a travel course changing operation which is an operation for changing a course of travel of a vehicle, in which a drawing operation on the road surface is prohibited when a hazard switch is set in an ON state.

An object of the present invention is to provide a display device for a vehicle which brings a relation between a linear display section of a display panel placed at a dashboard and a linear lighting placed at the dashboard. A display device for a vehicle includes a display panel and a linear lighting placed at a dashboard of an automobile, a linear lighting placed on a lining of a door on a driver seat side, and a linear lighting placed on a lining of a door on a passenger seat side. The display panel is a panel with liquid crystal on its full range, and includes a linear display section which is continuous with an end of the linear lighting. The linear lighting and the linear display section are capable of linked light emission.

Based on information about a vehicle, the information can be projected and displayed onto a road surface or the like. An image projection apparatus, which projects an image, includes an acquisition unit that acquires the information about the vehicle, and an image projection unit that projects the image based on the information acquired by the acquisition unit.

Light-based devices may be provided that emit light. The light-based devices may be incorporated into systems such as vehicles. The light-based devices may include light sources such as light-emitting diodes and lasers. Mirrors may be used to collimate light from the light sources. Light modulators may be used to pattern light from the light sources. The light sources may include light sources of different colors. Arrays of pixels may be used to provide dynamically varying patterns of emitted light. A light source may produce light that is diffracted by an array of diffractive elements on a window. Mechanical and electrical shutters may obscure light sources, mirrors, and light-emitting components mounted on windows.

A communication light device for vehicles having a number of light sources, having an elongated optical unit for generating a light signature, having a control unit for controlling the number of light sources such that a locally and/or temporally variable light emission and/or illuminated area is generated in the longitudinal extent of the elongated optical unit, wherein the communication light device is designed as a body styling part that is arranged on an exterior of the vehicle body and extends in the horizontal direction all the way along a front end and/or all the way along a rear end of the vehicle and/or all the way or partially along a longitudinal side of the vehicle.

Described herein is a delivery robot that can be programmed to travel from one location to another in open spaces that have few restrictions on the robot's path of travel. The delivery robot may operate in an autonomous mode, a remote controlled mode, or a combination thereof. The delivery robot can include a cargo area for transporting physical items. The robot can include exterior display devices and/or lighting devices to convey information to people that the robot may be encountering, including indications of the robot's direction of travel, current status, and/or other information.

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.

A rear lamp includes a reverse light, a direction indicator light, a brake light and a taillight, which are provided inside a lamp case. The rear lamp includes left and right rear lamps and has a peripheral area and a center area. The peripheral area is disposed on the outer side of the center area. The reverse light, the brake right and the taillight are positioned in the center area. The direction indicator light is positioned in the peripheral area and is formed as an LED array in the shape of a “C” or “inverted-U”. The left rear lamp has a U-turn indicator light and a left turn indicator light. The right rear lamp has a right turn indicator light. When the U-turn indicator light activates, the entire LED array turns on. When the left turn indicator light activates, only a part of the LED array turns on.

A light for a motor vehicle includes a flat light guide with decoupling structures for light on the front side, as well as at least one light source for coupling light into the flat light guide. A graphic is arranged on the rear side of the light guide, the graphic being constructed from regions with different degrees of reflectivity and/or colors. The decoupling structures and the graphic have the same graphical pattern and are oriented in relation to one another. The at least one light source couples the light into the flat light guide on the end face.
