1. A system for synchronizing display of visually sensible patterns onto at least one surface of each of a plurality of vehicles, the system comprising:
- a plurality of vehicle display control subsystems, each of said vehicle display control subsystems being associated with at least one of said plurality of vehicles, each of said vehicle display control subsystems being operative to collect data pertaining to an operational state of said at least one of said plurality of vehicles;
a plurality of display devices, each of said display devices being operative, in response to an input from a corresponding one of said display control subsystems, to display a visually sensible pattern onto at least one surface of said at least one of said plurality of vehicles; and
a display synchronizing subsystem operative in response to said data received from said plurality of vehicle display control subsystems to employ said plurality of vehicle display control subsystems to instruct said plurality of display devices to display at least one visually sensible pattern onto at least one surface of each of said plurality of vehicles,each of said at least one surface of each of said plurality of vehicles comprising at least one activatable rear projection surface,said plurality of vehicle display control subsystems controlling activation and deactivation of said at least one activatable rear projection surface of a corresponding one of said plurality of vehicles responsive to said operational state of said corresponding one of said plurality of vehicles.

Abstract
A system for displaying visually sensible patterns onto a surface of a vehicle including a display control subsystem responsive to an operational state of the vehicle, and a display device, operative in response to an input from the display control subsystem, to display a visually sensible pattern onto the surface. Preferably, the visually sensible pattern is visible from the exterior of the vehicle.
