PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system that provides the ability for an autonomous driving vehicle to visually communicate with other traffic entities such as other autonomous driving vehicles, non-autonomous driving vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists.SOLUTION: To provide such an ability, the system allows autonomous driving vehicles to communicate using a lighting mechanism. For example, the lighting mechanism may include one or more specialized lights that are provided in addition to any mandated lighting systems required for a vehicle (e.g., brake lights, headlights, turn signals, etc.). Accordingly, the autonomous driving vehicle may communicate with traffic entities to provide additional cues such as intended driving maneuvers, and to provide a mechanism for two-way communication with other autonomous driving vehicles.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7
【課題】自律走行車に他の交通エンティティ(例えば、他の自律走行車、非自律走行車、通行人、サイクリスト等)とビジュアルコミュニケーションを行う能力を提供するシステムを開示する。【解決手段】このような能力を提供するために、当該システムは自律走行車が照明機構で通信することを可能にする。例えば、照明機構は車両に必要な任意の必須照明システム(例えば、制動灯、前照灯、方向指示灯等)以外に提供される1つ又は複数の専用ランプを含んでもよい。従って、自律走行車は交通エンティティと通信して追加示唆、例えば、意図された運転操作を提供し、他の自律走行車と双方向通信を行う機構を提供する。【選択図】図7
