Informing a road user about an autopilot-controlled journey

摘要

Vehicle (F1) having an illumination system (BS) for informing a road user (P, F2) of a planned movement of the vehicle (F1) by imaging a light pattern (LM) on a trafficable area (BF), the illumination system (BS) thereto is prepared to generate the light pattern (LM) with a first feature, where it is recognizable to the road user (P, F2) that the vehicle (F1) is in an autopilot-controlled operating mode; wherein the lighting system (BS) is prepared to generate the light pattern (LM) with a second feature when an off-vehicle (BVe) observation device detects that a person (P) is in proximity to the vehicle (F1) Light pattern (LM) includes a change over time and the time change is dependent on a planned speed of the vehicle (F1).
