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.

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.

A car and a method for detecting a road condition and warning a following vehicle are provided. The car includes a vehicle body, a road condition detection unit, a processing unit, and a display unit. The road condition detection unit is disposed on the vehicle body. The road condition detection unit is configured to detect the road condition in front of the vehicle body and generate a road condition signal. The processing unit is disposed on the vehicle body and configured to generate a display signal after receiving the road condition signal. The display unit is disposed on a rear windshield of the vehicle body and configured to generate a warning image after receiving the display signal, so as to warn a driver of the following vehicle of the road condition in front of the vehicle body.

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.

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 method, an apparatus and a storage medium for evacuating a person around an autonomous vehicle are proposed. The method includes: obtaining data about surrounding of the autonomous vehicle during the driving of the autonomous vehicle; recognizing a person with onlooker intention within a predetermined range around the autonomous vehicle according to the data obtained; evacuating the person with onlooker intention in a predetermined manner. The technical solution may be applied to ensure normal driving of the autonomous vehicle.

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.

Systems and methods for interactions between an autonomous vehicle and one or more external observers include virtual models of drivers the autonomous vehicle. The virtual models may be generated by the autonomous vehicle and displayed to one or more external observers, and in some cases using devices worn by the external observers. The virtual models may facilitate interactions between the external observers and the autonomous vehicle using gestures or other visual cues. The virtual models may be encrypted with characteristics of an external observer, such as the external observer's face image, iris, or other representative features. Multiple virtual models for multiple external observers may be simultaneously used for multiple communications while preventing interference due to possible overlap of the multiple virtual models.

A display system of a vehicle includes a person detection device that detects a person on one side of the vehicle in a top view of the vehicle, a display device provided on the vehicle exterior on the side opposite to the one side of the vehicle, and a controller that controls the display device. When the person detection device detects a person, the controller controls the display device to display a warning indicating presence of the person, on a display of the display device.
