  • Patent number: 10068477
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting and communicating slipping of non-connected vehicles are disclosed. An example disclosed vehicle includes a wireless communication module and a vehicle marker. The example wireless communication module is configured to determine whether a second vehicle in the vicinity of the vehicle is wireless communication enabled. The example vehicle marker is configured to, in response to detecting that the second vehicle is slipping, when the second vehicle is not wireless communication enabled, broadcast an alert including a location of the second vehicle. Additionally, the example vehicle marker is configured to, in response to detecting that the second vehicle is slipping, display a visual cue visible behind the vehicle.
