Abstract
A vehicle, a vehicle light system, a light projection apparatus for implementation in the vehicle light system, a computer-implemented method of operating a vehicle, and a computer program product for operating a vehicle. The light projection apparatus is controlled to generate one or more projections of a graphical image, pattern, text, symbol, character, geometric shape, indicia, or combinations thereof on a target roadway surface (e.g., projection surface, road surface, etc.) to visually indicate an intended or actual implementation of a vehicle maneuver (e.g., change of lane and/or left or right turn) and/or an intended actuation of the vehicle braking. The one or more projection(s) would be supplemental to the use of forward and rear turn signal light indicators.
