A vehicle operation detection device includes sensors laid out in a vehicle along an axis in an opening-closing direction of a door of the vehicle. When the user moves a part of a body toward the sensors and a motion of moving the part of the body along the axis is detected, the sensors detect an opening-closing operation for the door. The vehicle operation detection device further includes light-emitting members laid out in the vehicle along the axis in the opening-closing direction and an operation direction indicator configured to drive the light-emitting members in sequence in a first direction in a fully-closed state of the door and drives the light-emitting members in sequence in a second direction in a fully-open state of the door.

A vehicle includes a rear lamp, a side surface, and a rear surface. The rear lamp is disposed on a rear end and an upper end of a lower side surface and a rear end and a side end of the vehicle, and includes a lamp body extending in a front-rear direction of the vehicle. The side surface includes the lower side surface bulging toward a vehicle-width-direction outer side with respect to the rear lamp at a front side of a height position overlapping with the rear lamp. The rear surface includes an extending surface extending toward the vehicle-width-direction outer side with respect to the lamp body in a top view of the vehicle from a lower portion of the lamp body. A side surface airflow is directed toward a vehicle-width-direction inner side through the extending surface and the generation of a large trailing vortex is suppressed.

A vehicular apparatus includes: a housing that is configured to be attached to a vehicle; and a first light source and a second light source that are provided in the housing to emit light having main wavelengths in mutually different wavelength ranges. The first light source emits light having a main wavelength in 490 nm-498 nm while the vehicle is being automatically driven.

A method of fabricating a decorated molding article includes forming an all-in-one coating on a substrate and performing a curing step, thereby forming a composite layer structure with a protective effect, a color effect, and a bonding effect. The composite layer structure may form a molded film with better physical properties (e.g., higher hardness, better protection effect, and the like) after the blister molding process. Therefore, the molded film of the embodiments may be applied to a laser engraving process to form a variety of light-transmitting decorated molding articles.

An electric scooter with a lighting system that includes a rear mounted light that projects light upward and toward the front of the scooter to illuminate the back of a rider, and side lights that project light to illuminate the sides of a scooter. The lighting system employs a multi-faceted approach to vary intensity and effects for improved visibility in traffic. The light system can be configured to automatically illuminate or change effects in response to road or environmental conditions, or in response to existing or future roadway infrastructure such as autonomous traffic infrastructure or adaptive traffic control systems. The light system may also be integrated with the braking system for signaling a slow down or stop. The system may be controlled by communication between an onboard processor and a personal computing device such as a smart phone that can be docked on the scooter and provide display of information and a means of input.

A polymeric substrate and a method of providing same includes providing a protection system of one or more layers on at least one first surface of the polymeric substrate, coating a spectrally controlling system on a surface of the protection system to provide an external surface, the spectrally controlling system comprising at least a light absorbing or a light reflecting layer, partially removing the spectrally controlling system from the external surface until reaching the at least one first surface of the protection system creating in the spectrally controlling system an area free of the light absorbing or light reflecting layer of the spectrally controlling system, and covering the area by depositing at least one or more substances in droplets.

A light emitting system includes a light pipe, a light source disposed at least partially within an interior of the light emitting system, and configured to emit light when receiving electrical power from an electrical power source, wherein the light source is arranged adjacent to and directed towards the light pipe, a lens substantially enclosing the interior of the light emitting system, the light pipe and the light source, the lens having an inner surface and an outer surface disposed opposite the inner surface, and a mask comprising a coating that is applied on the lens and laser etched to form a desired pattern, wherein light emitted from the light source passes through the light pipe and lens.

A winch drum light assembly comprises a bracket having at least one attachment location for attaching the bracket to a vehicle or to a vehicle component that is attached to the vehicle; and a light member for producing light and situated on the bracket, the light member including a power connection adapted for connecting the vehicle's power or an alternative source of power to the light member.

A lamp protection assembly includes a lamp assembly that includes a lens, a lamp housing, and one or more lighting elements located within the lamp housing. The one or more lighting elements being configured to emit light through the lens. The lamp protection assembly also includes an impact ring that is configured to wrap around the lens.

Vehicle body element including: a translucent body (20), a holder body (22) intended to sustain the translucent body (20) to the vehicle, forming an enclosure (32), and a light system (24) extending in the enclosure (32), adapted to diffuse light through the translucent body (20).

The translucent body (20) has a constant thickness and is made of a partially opaque material being arranged to let the light emitted by the light system (24) pass through the translucent body (20) when the light system (24) is turned on, the partially opaque material having a light transmittance chosen so that the quantity of natural light passing through the translucent body (20), reflecting on the light system (24) and passing back through the translucent body (20) is sufficiently low to blank the light system (24) when the light system (24) is switched off.
