Light is increasingly taking on communication functions and acting as an interface with the environment. Amplified by the ‘Autonomous Driving’ trend, light is becoming an information carrier. Simple, dynamic, and instinctive light designs on and around the vehicle are meant to enable unmistakable communication between all road users. This increases road safety, reinforces trust in autonomous vehicles, and brings additional possibilities in vehicle design and individualization. 🚗✨ In the depicted scenario, various light functions clearly communicate to cyclists that they are in the blind spot and not visible to the driver. The following vehicle is also notified that the bike is in the blind spot of the vehicle ahead. 🚴♂️🔍 #AutonomousDriving #ZKW
