1. A method of indicating a driving situation including at least one vehicle to an external device, comprising:
obtaining, by a first processor, driving information, the driving information including information about an upcoming driving event involving the at least one vehicle; encoding, by the first processor, the driving information to provide encoded driving information; communicating, by the first processor, the encoded driving information to the external device; receiving the encoded driving information at the external device and providing the encoded driving information to a second processor; decoding, by the second processor, the encoded driving information to provide decoded driving information; allocating, by the second processor, a predefined indication pattern to the decoded driving information, the predefined indication pattern including a graphical representation of the upcoming driving event involving the at least one vehicle; and visualizing, at the external device, a current driving situation including the at least one vehicle together with the predefined indication pattern. |
