A first sensor actuator (44) is configured to adjust a sensing reference position of the LiDAR sensor (41) relative to the first bracket (43). A second sensor actuator (45) is configured to adjust a sensing reference position of the ultrasonic sensor (42) relative to first bracket (43). A first bracket actuator (46) is configured to adjust at least one of a position and a posture of the first bracket (43) relative to the vehicle.

Sensor system

A left front camera (11) is adapted to be mounted on a left front lamp (1LF) of a vehicle to obtain external information of at least ahead of the vehicle. A right front LiDAR sensor (12), a type of which is different from the camera (11), is adapted to be mounted on a right front lamp (1RF) of the vehicle to obtain external information of at least ahead of the vehicle.

20220334261 · 2022-10-20 · ·

A lidar system includes a light detector having a field of view. The lidar system includes one or more light emitters. At least one of the one or more light emitters emits infrared light into the field of view of the light detector and at least one of the one or more light emitters emits visible light into the field of view of the light detector. The visible light emitted from the lidar system encourages eye aversion, e.g., by pedestrians, vehicle occupants, etc., to reduce the likelihood of eye exposure to the infrared light emitted by the lidar system.

VEHICLE LAMP, RADAR MODULE, AND VEHICLE

A vehicle lamp includes: a lamp housing; a lamp cover covering an opening of the lamp housing; an illumination unit disposed in a lamp chamber formed by the lamp housing and the lamp cover; a radar configured to acquire radar data indicating surroundings of a vehicle by emitting an electromagnetic wave outside the vehicle; and a concealing part that faces the radar to conceal the radar from the outside of the vehicle and is configured to let the electromagnetic wave emitted from the radar through. The concealing part is formed integrally with the lamp cover. A boundary between the concealing part and the lamp cover is out of a field of view of the radar.
