Abstract
A system includes a tracking system, a controller-circuit, and a device. The tracking system is configured to detect and track an object, and includes one or more of a computer vision system, a radar system, and a LIDAR system. The controller-circuit is disposed in a host vehicle, and is configured to receive detection signals from the tracking system, process the detection signals, determine, whether an object is detected based on the processed detecting signals, and in accordance with a determination that an object is detected, output command signals. The device is adapted to be mounted to the host vehicle, and is configured to receive the command signals and thereby provide a dynamic visual indication adapted to change in accordance with orientation changes between the host vehicle and the object. The dynamic visual indication is viewable from outside of the host vehicle.
