Claim:
1. A system for interacting with a structure positioned a distance from a vehicle, the system comprising: a vehicle including a surface having a leading portion and a trailing portion; an array of individually actuatable energy transmitters coupled to the surface of the vehicle, the array of individually actuatable energy transmitters configured to emit electrical ultrasonic away from the surface to a structure positioned a distance from the vehicle; and a controller electrically coupled to the array of individually actuatable energy transmitters, the controller configured to selectively pulse the transmitters to interact with the structure positioned a distance from the vehicle by transmitting an ultrasonic alert signal from at least one energy transmitter of the array of the individually actuatable energy transmitters, wherein the transmitted ultrasonic alert signal is transmitted directly toward the structure positioned a distance from the vehicle.
