Vehicle with automatic reporting function
A vehicle with an automatic reporting function includes a controller and a display. The controller is configured to control automatic transmission of emergency information to the server in a case of an emergency of the vehicle with a transmitter. The transmitter is configured to transmit the emergency information related to the emergency of the vehicle to a server configured to make a call for emergency action. The display is provided on the vehicle and configured to display destination information for the automatic transmission of the emergency information to the server in a format readable by a communicator different from the transmitter. The controller is configured to, in the case of the emergency of the vehicle, cause the display to display the destination information on the vehicle in the format readable by the communicator.
1. A vehicle with an automatic reporting function, the vehicle comprising:
a display device provided on the vehicle;
a transmitter configured to communicate with a server; and
a controller configured to 1) detect that the vehicle is involved in an accident or predict that the vehicle is about to be involved in the accident, and 2) in response to detecting that the vehicle is involved in the accident or predicting that the vehicle is about to be involved in the accident, determine whether the transmitter is able to establish communication with the server,
wherein, in response to the controller determining that the transmitter is able to establish communication with the server, the controller is configured to control the transmitter to transmit emergency information to the server via the established communication to facilitate the server to make a call for emergency action based on detecting that the vehicle is involved in the accident, and
wherein, in response the controller determining that the transmitter is not able to establish communication with the server, the controller is configured to i) generate a two-dimensional code or a barcode including the emergency information and information regarding the server to which the emergency information is to be transmitted and ii) cause the display device to display the two-dimensional code or the barcode based on detecting that the vehicle is involved in the accident.
2. The vehicle with the automatic reporting function according to claim 1 ,
wherein the display device is provided on the vehicle in a visually recognizable outside the vehicle.
3. The vehicle with the automatic reporting function according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to
when the controller determines that transmitter is able to establish communication with the server to transmit the emergency information, avoid causing the display device to display the two-dimensional code or the barcode.
4. The vehicle with the automatic reporting function according to claim 1 ,
wherein the display device is provided on an outer face of the vehicle.
5. The vehicle with the automatic reporting function according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to include information related to the accident into the two-dimensional code or the barcode.
