Abstract
A vehicle with a road surface rendering function includes a projection member, a controller, and a detection device. The projection member is configured to perform light projection for road surface rendering at least toward a road surface ahead of the vehicle. The controller is configured to control the light projection. The detection device is configured to perform detection of the road surface where the projection member projects the light for the road surface rendering. The controller is configured to determine, based on the detection, whether a first road surface area in the road surface for the road surface rendering rises relative to a second road surface area where the vehicle is traveling. The controller is configured to suppress the light projection for the road surface rendering by the projection member based on determining that the first road surface area rises relative to the second road surface area.
