Abstract
An illumination assembly for making a driver of a vehicle visible to an observer includes a front panel and a back panel that may be positioned on the driver. A shoulder strap is coupled to the front and back panels. A primary processor is coupled to the front panel. A primary transceiver is coupled to the front panel. A light emitter is coupled to the back panel. The light emitter selectively emits light. The light emitter may make the driver visible to the observer. A remote control may be selectively coupled to the vehicle. A remote processor is coupled to the remote control. A remote transceiver is coupled to the remote control. The remote transceiver is operationally coupled to the primary transceiver. An actuator is coupled to the remote control. The actuator is operationally coupled to the remote processor.
