Abstract

A motor vehicle including a lighting module that generates a set of symbols on the ground in the surroundings of the motor vehicle and a control device that controls the operation of the lighting module. The control device is designed such that it predicts the movement of a road user present in the surroundings of the motor vehicle based on information relating to the road user, and that it automatically adapts the set of symbols depending on the predicted movement of the road user.
