VEHICLE WITH ROAD SURFACE IMAGE RENDERING FUNCTIONALITY

A vehicle with road surface image rendering functionality includes: a light projection member configured to perform light projection for road surface image rendering toward a road surface in front of the vehicle; a controller configured to control the light projection by the light projection member; and a detection device configured to perform detection of a state where the light projection member is performing the light projection. The controller is configured to: cause the light projection member to perform the light projection; determine, based on the detection by the detection device, whether the light projection member is suitable for the light projection; when the light projection member is suitable for the light projection, start the light projection from the light projection member; and, when the light projection member is unsuitable for the light projection for the road surface image rendering, prohibit the light projection by the light projection member.
