11. An unmanned aerial vehicle comprising:
-
a body and a propulsion source to propel the unmanned aerial vehicle during flight; a display carried by the unmanned aerial vehicle to display a message to coordinate traffic, the display actuatable between a deployed position to enable the message to be conveyed and a stowed position in which aerodynamics of the unmanned aerial vehicle are enhanced, the display foldable onto itself in the stowed position; and a pulley carried by a support arm that receives a cable, the cable to be received through apertures included on sides of the display to enable the display to be moved toward the stowed position when the cable moves in a first direction and for the display to be moved toward the deployed position when the cable moves in a second direction. - View Dependent Claims (12)

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a processor of an unmanned aerial vehicle on or adjacent an emergency vehicle route to, at least:
-
identify a first vehicle on or adjacent the emergency vehicle route; provide a first message instructing the first vehicle to move relative to the emergency vehicle route; generate an alert accessible by an emergency vehicle traversing the emergency vehicle route in response to the first vehicle not obeying the instructions of the first message; and after the first vehicle obeys the instructions of the first message; identify a second vehicle on or adjacent the emergency vehicle route; and provide a second message to the second vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (14, 16, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. An apparatus, comprising:
-
an emergency vehicle route identifier to access one or more tasks to be performed by an unmanned aerial vehicle on or adjacent an emergency vehicle route; a vehicle identifier to identify a first vehicle on or adjacent the emergency vehicle route; a visual messenger controller to provide a first message instructing the first vehicle to move relative to the emergency vehicle route; a vehicle responsiveness identifier to identify a second vehicle on or adjacent the emergency vehicle route after the first vehicle obeys the instructions of the first message, the visual messenger controller to provide a second message to the second vehicle after the first vehicle obeys the instructions of the first message; and an alerter to generate an alert accessible by an emergency vehicle traversing the emergency vehicle route in response to the first vehicle not obeying the instructions of the first message.
