Patent Images
1. A system for automatically deactivating a turn signal displayed on a vehicle, the system comprising:
- a steering device for steering the vehicle;
a turn signal activator configured to be engaged to activate a turn signal;
a turn attribute sensing device including at least one of a velocity sensor configured to detect a velocity of the vehicle, a distance measuring device configured to measure a distance traveled by the vehicle, and a timer; and
a processing unit in communication with the turn attribute sensing device, wherein said processing unit deactivates the turn signal based on a comparison between a predetermined data point and the vehicle turn attribute.

24. A method of automatically deactivating a turn signal displayed on a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
activating a turn signal;
sensing a vehicle attribute;
comparing the vehicle attribute to a predetermined data point related to the vehicle attribute such that the vehicle attribute and the predetermined data point are measured in the same units; and
deactivating the turn signal based on said comparing. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
