There is provided a vehicle in another embodiment of the present disclosure, comprising: the vehicle communication device in the embodiment as shown in
In particular, the display unit of the vehicle comprises: a front window and a rear window.
For example, when the vehicle breaks down, a vehicle computer of the vehicle would generate automatically breakdown information, GPS address, vehicle information and personalization information into a rescue code (a two-dimensional code) and display it on the front and rear windshield. After detecting this information automatically, a following vehicle or a coming vehicle prompts the driver whether to give a rescue or forward the information. If the driver in the following vehicle or the driver in the coming vehicle is unable to give a rescue or selects to forward the information, he/she can “forward” the rescue code to the rear windshield of the current vehicle and add identification of the current vehicle, so that effective transmission of the rescue information can be achieved. Information forwarding can be cancelled artificially, or cancelled automatically after a small period of time. In addition, a social transmission mode can be simulated, so that duration of time over forwarding at each time is reduced gradually.
For example, when urban transport is congested, a vehicle nearby a location where congestion occurs publishes initial congestion information and adds a GPS address. Then, the following vehicle forwards this information in time, so that the vehicle would be avoided from excessive congestion.
Thus it can be seen that the present embodiment establishes a social solution of a “word-of-mouth communication” mode through simulating a social information transmission mode by means of a huge amount of automobiles and a close relationship between the automobile and the driver.
