Patent attributes
Systems, devices, and methods are disclosed in which one or more light sources, a detector, a processor and a controller are configured such that light from the one or more light sources can provide illumination or projections that can reduce accidents while the vehicle is in motion and when parked and may also provide information and illumination to the driver and vehicle occupants when entering or exiting the vehicle. These systems may, for example, provide spot illumination to moving objects or pedestrians on the road surface, with the spot illumination following the moving object. Alternatively or in addition these systems may project images on the ground, for example to communicate information to occupants of the vehicle, to occupants of another vehicle, or to pedestrians.
