    Abstract: A method is provided for projecting a guide line onto a road surface. An anticipated trajectory of the motor vehicle is calculated from the speed and steering angle of the motor vehicle. A guide line is projected onto a road surface in front of the motor vehicle. The guide line indicates the anticipated travel path. Whether the motor vehicle is starting a curve is detected based on the steering angle. The guide line contains the shape of a first clothoid in at least a first segment when it is detected that the motor vehicle is starting to travel in a curve.

    Abstract: A coordinated multi-vehicle lighting system includes a remote coordination system and at least two vehicles. Each vehicle has a light installation that includes a front light, a rear light, a navigation module, and a controller in operable communication with the front light, the rear light, and the navigation module. Location data from the navigation module is provided to the remote coordination system, and the remote coordination system determines a status for each vehicle by comparing the location data from the vehicle to the location data from each of the other vehicles. The remote coordination system transmits the status of each vehicle to the controller of that vehicle. For each vehicle, the controller is programmed to selectively reduce an illumination of the front light and of the rear light according to the status of the vehicle.
