Abstract:
An autonomous vehicle dual traffic reflector device for detecting a second vehicle by a first vehicle includes an outer array having a plurality of colored light receiving-light transmitting lens, positioned in an arcuate arrangement having at least one focal point and the outer array having at least two caution-colored lenses; and an inner array positioned inside the outer array and between it and a focal point of the at least one focal point of side outer array, the inner array positioned to receive light passing into the device through at least one lens and reflecting the light out of the device through at least one different lens. Information and communication symbols are included on one or more lenses and may be reflected to a receiving vehicle to add site-specific information. A connected wireless communication component has one or more of: (i) a receiver for receiving information from a central control base via satellite; (ii) a transmitter for transmitting information to a central control base via satellite; (iii) a receiver for receiving information from an autonomous vehicle via wireless transmission; (iv) a transmitter for transmitting information to an autonomous vehicle via wireless transmission. A vehicles guidance system is included.
