Abstract:
An autonomous vehicle dual traffic controller device for detecting a second vehicle by a first vehicle, includes an outer array, the outer array having a plurality of light receiving-light transmitting lenses, the outer array 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 of optical fibers positioned inside the outer array and connecting lenses on one side of the device to lenses on the other side, the inner array positioned to receive light passing into the device through at least one lens and send that light out of the device through at least one different lens. A system to guide such vehicles is also included.
