Abstract
A vehicle system of a vehicle may comprise one or more processors configured to receive sensor data from one or more vehicle sensors as the vehicle drives along a road, determine a location of a pedestrian based on the sensor data, perform vehicle-to-vehicle communication with a second vehicle indicating the location of the pedestrian, project an image onto the road based on the location of the pedestrian, determine movement of the pedestrian, and modify the image being projected onto the road based on the movement of the pedestrian.
Claims20
A vehicle system of a vehicle comprising one or more processors configured to:
- receive sensor data from one or more vehicle sensors as the vehicle drives along a road;
- determine a location of a pedestrian based on the sensor data;
- perform vehicle-to-vehicle communication with a second vehicle indicating the location of the pedestrian;
- project an image onto the road based on the location of the pedestrian such that the image spans a width of the road;
- determine movement of the pedestrian;
- and
- as the pedestrian crosses the road, modify the image being projected onto the road based on the movement of the pedestrian such that the modified image only spans a portion of the width of the road that the pedestrian has not crossed.
