Abstract: A vehicle illumination device which is provided in a vehicle capable of travelling in an automatic driving mode includes an illumination unit configured to display stop warning information forewarning stop of the vehicle toward a front of the vehicle, and an illumination controller configured to control the illumination unit such that the stop warning information is displayed toward the front of the vehicle.

Abstract: This illumination device is configured so as to display, outside a vehicle capable of traveling in an automatic driving mode, information indicating the driving mode of the vehicle, and is provided with: an illumination unit configured so as to shine light outside the vehicle; and an illumination control unit configured so as to set the illumination state of the illumination unit in a prescribed illumination state in accordance with the driving mode of the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicular illumination device provided to a vehicle capable of travelling in an automatic driving mode includes an illumination unit configured to display advance-notice information for giving advance-notice of automatic traveling control of the vehicle so that a passenger in the vehicle can visually recognize the advance-notice information, and an illumination controller configured to control the illumination unit so that the passenger in the vehicle can visually recognize the advance-notice information before the automatic traveling control of the vehicle is executed.

Abstract: An object of the present disclosure is to provide a vehicular headlamp having good mountability onto a vehicle body by forming a vehicular headlamp in conformity with a mounting space for the vehicular headlamp formed in a vehicle body. The vehicular headlamp includes a lamp unit provided with a light source and configured to be pivotable in a predetermined direction; an actuator configured to pivot the lamp unit to adjust an irradiation direction of light emitted from the light source; and a connecting mechanism configured to connect the lamp unit and the actuator to transmit a driving force of the actuator to the lamp unit. The actuator is disposed in front of or behind the lamp unit. Therefore, the vehicular headlamp is formed in conformity with a mounting space for the vehicular headlamp formed in a vehicle body, and thus, good mountability onto a vehicle body may be ensured.

Abstract: Disclosed is a vehicle lamp. Three lamp units are arranged such that an optical axis of each lamp unit is oriented in a longitudinal direction of a vehicle body. A base of a front lamp unit is fixed to the vehicle body, and bases of a middle lamp unit and a rear lamp unit are provided to be movable in a widthwise direction of the vehicle body. A housing of each of the middle and rear lamp units is suspended on an output shaft of an actuator by an arm. The actuator pivots the output shaft around a horizontal axis and swings the arm around an axis in which is parallel with the optical axes of the middle and rear lamp units.

Abstract: A vehicular lamp is provided with a vibrator and a shock-absorbing member. The vibrator is attached to a lamp body. The lamp body vibrates in response to the vibration of the vibrator and an alarm sound is generated. The shock-absorbing member is provided to an attachment part and the transfer of the vibration from the vibrator through the attachment part is suppressed by the shock-absorbing member.
