A system for displaying contextually-sensitive braking information on a surface of a vehicle is presented. The system may include a transceiver, one or more memories, an electronic display disposed on the surface, and one or more processors. The one or more processors may be configured to detect a braking event of the vehicle, wherein the braking event has an associated braking force. The one or more processors may compare the braking force to a predetermined threshold braking force to determine whether the braking force exceeds the threshold braking force. The one or more processors may further cause the electronic display to display a braking indication having an intensity that is proportional to the braking force, wherein the braking indication may include a braking rationale corresponding to the braking event in response to determining that the braking force exceeds the threshold braking force.

A moving body includes: a main body section provided with a moving mechanism; a peripheral information detection sensor configured to detect an obstacle peripheral to the main body section; and a control section configured to cause the main body section to autonomously travel by controlling the moving mechanism based on information regarding the peripheral obstacle detected by the peripheral information detection sensor, and configured to cause information relating to the peripheral obstacle, in a direction of progress of the main body section, to be displayed in a surrounding area of the main body section.

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, using one or more sensors of a first vehicle, sensor data associated with an environment surrounding the first vehicle. The method includes detecting, using the sensor data, a second vehicle in the environment surrounding the first vehicle. The method includes determining, based on the sensor data, a first movement context associated with the first vehicle and a second movement context associated with the second vehicle. The method includes coordinating, via a ride matching system, movements between the first vehicle and the second vehicle based on the first movement context associated with the first vehicle and the second movement context associated with the second vehicle.

A vehicle communication system installed in a vehicle includes: a lamp for illumination, a display or signal; a display that is configured by a planar light emitter and has an information display function; and a control unit that is capable of controlling turning-on of the lamp and of the display. The control unit is configured to control the lamp and the display in a linked manner, and present vehicle information indicating a condition of the vehicle by combining light emission of the lamp with information display of the display.

A display device provided in a vehicle that travels autonomously includes: a display unit configured to display information to an outside of the vehicle; a determination unit configured to determine whether a travel state of the vehicle is any one of a deceleration state, a stop state, and a start state, based on a detection result of an internal sensor of the vehicle; and a display control unit configured to display on the display unit the information corresponding to each of the deceleration state, the stop state, and the start state, based on a determination result of the determination unit. In response to the determination unit having determined that the vehicle is in the deceleration state, the display control unit is configured to display on the display unit the information including a display moving from an upper side to a lower side along a vertical direction of the vehicle.

A vehicle exterior display device includes: an own vehicle position information acquisition unit that acquires position information regarding an own vehicle; a crosswalk position information acquisition unit that acquires position information regarding a crosswalk; a surrounding information detection unit that detects a pedestrian existing around the own vehicle; a display unit that has a display region visually recognizable from the outside of the own vehicle and is capable of changing a relative position between the display region and the own vehicle; and a display controller that changes display information displayed by the display unit and changes the display region in which the display information is displayed, based on a positional relationship among the own vehicle, the crosswalk, and the pedestrian.

A vehicle-based mobile content delivery system comprises a projector configured to receive and project visual content, a projection surface for receiving and displaying the projected visual content, and a projector mounting system for securely mounting the projector and integrating the projector into a vehicle. The projector mounting system comprises a headrest projector mount compatible with an original headrest of the vehicle for enclosing and supporting the projector, a headrest coupling mechanism for coupling the projector to the headrest projector mount for support, and mounting channels that accommodate a range of headrest mounting rails of vehicles for connecting the projector mounting system to the vehicle.

A first object approaching a vehicle in a first direction and a second object approaching the vehicle in a second direction are detected. In response to detection of the first object and the second object, the first object is notified about the presence of the second object by using a notification device, and the second object is notified about the presence of the first object by using the notification device.

A notification device includes: a notification-sound output portion provided in a vehicle and configured to output a notification sound toward the outside of the vehicle; a notification display portion provided in the vehicle and configured to output a notification display toward the outside of the vehicle; a notification controlling portion configured to control the notification sound of the notification-sound output portion and the notification display of the notification display portion; and a stop-state determination portion configured to determine whether the vehicle during the automatic driving enters a stop state or not. When the stop-state determination portion determines that the vehicle during the automatic driving enters the stop state, the notification controlling portion outputs a stop-time notification sound as the notification sound by the notification-sound output portion and outputs a stop-time notification display as the notification display by the notification display portion.

Described herein are various systems and processes for vehicles for delivery of real-time, on-demand orders for perishable goods, and operations thereof. The automated delivery vehicle may include a food transport container and various sensors configured to determine the location and/or surroundings of the vehicle. The automated delivery vehicle may further include a display and/or other output source configured to provide outputs to persons surrounding the automated delivery vehicle. Such outputs may include, for example, an information graphical representation (e.g., provided on a display), an audio output, and/or data communicated to a wireless device.
