Patent attributes
Systems and methods here utilize various light projecting technologies to inform other drivers of nearby vehicles of information which may allow for safer driving. In some embodiments, the projecting technologies may be used to project laser light onto a driving surface when a vehicle indicates a lane change, to show their intended physical location on the driving surface. In some embodiments, a parked vehicle may indicate a door is about to be opened, by projecting a warning and physical space where the door may swing open, onto the driving surface for other drivers to see. In some embodiments, sensors such as cameras, infra-red and/or radar to locate nearby vehicles, predict their position, and indicate where the vehicle will physically be located in a turn, lane change, or passing situation.
