1. A system for detecting surrounding conditions of a moving body comprising:
- a plurality of illumination devices disposed in a cabin of the moving body so that light emitting faces of the illumination devices are directed into an inside of the cabin, each of said plurality of illumination devices having a switch for switching between a lighting state and an unlit state;
a detector for detecting an object to which attention must be paid around the moving body; and
a controller for changing a state of at least one of said plurality of illumination devices upon detecting said object,wherein when the object is a lighting rear lamp of a vehicle travelling in front of the moving body, the controller causes one or more of the illumination devices which are disposed in front of a moving body driver'"'"'s seat to light or blink with a color corresponding to a lighting color of said rear lamp.

Abstract
This system for detecting the surrounding: conditions of a moving body forcibly changes the state of at least one of a plurality of lighting devices (change from an unlit stats to a lighting state or a blinking state, change in the emission color, or change in the luminance) installed inside the moving body if an object to which attention must be paid during traveling of the moving body is detected in the surroundings of the moving body.

-
a plurality of illumination devices disposed in a cabin of the moving body so that light emitting faces of the illumination devices are directed into an inside of the cabin, each of said plurality of illumination devices having a switch for switching between a lighting state and an unlit state; a detector for detecting an object to which attention must be paid around the moving body; and a controller for changing a state of at least one of said plurality of illumination devices upon detecting said object, wherein when the object detected by the detector is a traffic light, the controller causes one illumination device in a subset of said illumination devices disposed above the driver'"'"'s seat in the moving body to light with a color corresponding to a lighting color of the traffic light. - View Dependent Claims (5)

6. A system for detecting surrounding conditions of a moving body comprising:
-
a plurality of illumination devices disposed in a cabin of the moving body so that light emitting faces of the illumination devices are directed into an inside of the cabin, each of said plurality of illumination devices having a switch for switching between a lighting state and an unlit state; a detector for detecting an object to which attention must be paid around the moving body; and a controller for changing a state of at least one of said plurality of illumination devices upon detecting said object, wherein when the object is an obstacle which the moving body must avoid, the controller increases luminance of said that illumination device as a distance between the obstacle and the moving body decreases or as a relative speed between the moving body and the obstacle increases. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
