First Claim
1. An autonomous vehicle comprising:
- a vehicle body;
at least one detector configured to detect a presence of an external object within a vicinity of the vehicle;
at least one display supported on the vehicle body; and
at least one controller programmed to determine the presence of the external object upon detection of the external object by the detector and to display a rationale indicator on the display to a remote party within the vicinity of the vehicle based on a detection result of the at least one detector indicating the presence of the external object, the rationale indicator being an indication of an external condition occurring in the vicinity of the vehicle.

Abstract
An autonomous vehicle includes a vehicle body, at least one detector, at least one display and at least one controller. The at least one detector is configured to detect a presence of an external object within a vicinity of the vehicle. The at least one display is supported on the vehicle body. The at least one controller is programmed to determine the presence of the external object upon detection of the external object by the detector. The controller is further programmed to display a rationale indicator on the display to a remote party within the vicinity of the vehicle based on a detection result of the detector indicating the presence of the external object. The rationale indicator is an indication of an external condition occurring in the vicinity of the vehicle.

17. An autonomous vehicle comprising:
-
a vehicle body; at least one detector configured to detect a presence of an external object within a vicinity of the vehicle; a plurality of displays supported at various locations of the vehicle body; and at least one controller programmed to determine the presence of the external object upon detection of the external object by the at least one detector and to display a rationale indicator to a remote party on at least a first display of the plurality of displays, the controller being further programmed to select the first display based on a determination that the external object is substantially within an obstructed viewing area from the perspective of the remote party. - View Dependent Claims (18)
