Proposed is a detachable traveling guidance system including a frame detachably mounted on a roof of a vehicle, a monitoring module including a sensor array configured to monitor a vicinity of the vehicle and a communicator, the monitoring module being mounted on the frame, and the frame being configured to adjust a position of the monitoring module, and a display mounted on a lower portion of the frame and positioned to cover a side surface or a rear surface of the vehicle, necessary information being output on the display device for viewing from the outside.

Systems and methods including at least one internal sensor attached internally to a vehicle, at least one external sensor mounted externally to the vehicle, wherein the external sensor detects at least one of a distance of other vehicles, a speed of other vehicles, driving patterns of other vehicles, and weather conditions; and at least one display configured to receive input from the internal sensor and the at least one external sensor, wherein the at least one display notifies a driver of an adjacent vehicle and/or a system controlling an adjacent manually-driven, semi-autonomous, or self-driving car of at least one of the occupation status of the vehicle, operational status of the vehicle, weather conditions, changing driving behaviors, when the adjacent vehicle exceeds a speed threshold, and/or when the distance between the vehicle and the adjacent vehicle falls below a minimum separation distance.

An autonomous driving system relying on communication between a vehicle and a human road user

A system for implementing an interaction between a semi-autonomous or autonomous motor vehicle and a vulnerable user of a carriageway used by the motor vehicle and potentially crossed by a vulnerable user at a crossing, pedestrians and cyclists being considered to be vulnerable users. The system includes an environment sensor, a computer which processes the data received from the environment sensor, and a display device which is directed to outside of the vehicle and controlled by the computer. The display device being in the form of a horizontal strip occupying a longitudinal end of the vehicle, including an at least four pixels per cm.sup.2 matrix panel configured to provide vulnerable users present in the vehicle's environment with a visual indication as to whether or not they may cross the carriageway road surface, and delivers either an indication prompting them to cross or, conversely, an indication forbidding them from crossing.

It is made easy for a user to distinguish a vehicle that the user is to board from other vehicles. A notification control apparatus includes a notification drive unit, a communication unit, and a function control unit. The notification drive unit causes a notification unit provided in the vehicle and configured to perform vehicle-side notification that is recognizable from the outside to perform the vehicle-side notification using a first operation pattern. The communication unit transmits a second operation pattern that is associated with the first operation pattern and is provided as a predetermined operation pattern, to a mobile terminal that has a notification function of performing terminal-side notification that uses the predetermined operation pattern. The function control unit controls a function of the communication unit a function of the notification drive unit.

An organic light emitting device including a pair of electrodes and an organic compound layer disposed between the pair of electrodes, wherein the organic compound layer contains, in a weight ratio of 50 wt % or more, an organic compound having a glass transition temperature of 130° C. or more, and the organic compound does not have a moiety represented by formula [1] below,

##STR00001##

where, in formula [1], *'s represent bonding positions.

A system for implementing an interaction between a semi-autonomous or autonomous motor vehicle and a vulnerable user of a carriageway used by the motor vehicle and potentially crossed by a vulnerable user at a crossing, pedestrians and cyclists being considered to be vulnerable users. The system including an environment sensor, a computer processing the data received from the one or more environment sensors, and a display device arranged on the vehicle and directed to the outside of the vehicle, the display device in the form of a horizontal strip and occupying a longitudinal end of the vehicle, and providing vulnerable users present in the vehicle's environment in the vicinity of the crossing with a visual indication as to whether or not they may cross the carriageway road surface, so that pedestrians and cyclists can obtain unambiguous information as to their presence being taken into account by the vehicle.

A travel controller recognizes an action of a driver of a vehicle from image data of the driver. The travel controller obtains information indicating that determination of whether autonomous driving of the vehicle is permissible cannot be given. When the information indicating that determination of whether the autonomous driving of the vehicle is permissible cannot be given is obtained, the travel controller operates a human interface to request the driver for an instruction to drive the vehicle. The travel controller determines whether the driver is giving an instruction to drive the vehicle from an action of the driver recognized in response to the request for an instruction to drive the vehicle. When determined in the determination process that the driver is giving an instruction to drive the vehicle, the travel controller operates a drive system of the vehicle to permit autonomous driving of the vehicle.

By way of example, a method for carrying out an advertisement by a connected vehicle is provide for a specific event. Initially, information on the specific event that is to be carried out by the connected vehicle is received, and in response to receiving the information on the specific event, a request is sent by the connected vehicle to participate in the specific event. Then, driving route guidance to a starting location for the specific event is received and also received is the driving order of a plurality of connected vehicles that are going to participate in a parade proceeding for the specific event.

This technology relates to a display mounted messaging system. The display mounted messaging system may include a light emitting diode (LED) display attached to a housing of a sensor. The housing of the sensor may rotate. The display mounted messaging system may also include an LED controller which is configured to selectively activate and deactivate at least one LED in the LED display, to provide a message in the direction of an intended recipient.
