Abstract:
A B-pillar vehicle warning system includes a plurality of regions that can be illuminated to provide green, yellow, and red light. The warning system may be configured to utilize inputs from an autonomous driving sensing system to determine a location of a pedestrian, cyclist, vehicle, etc. relative to the vehicle. The system may be configured to illuminate specific lights in a predefined sequence based on a position of a pedestrian to alert/warn a pedestrian approaching the vehicle.

Claim (Index 1):
An autonomous vehicle comprising:\n a body structure and front and rear doors on opposite sides thereof and B-pillars between upper portions of the front and rear doors; an autonomous driving sensing system configured to detect pedestrians and the locations of pedestrians relative the body structure whereby a distance from the opposite sides to pedestrians can be determined; a warning light system on the at least one of the B-pillars, wherein the warning light system including light sources that are configured to emit green light if a pedestrian is detected at a first distance or a distance greater than the first distance, yellow light if a pedestrian is detected at an intermediate distance that is between the first distance and a second distance that is less than the first distance, and red light if a pedestrian is detected at a distance equal to or less than the second distance.
