A lighting function for assisting a driver when driving a motor vehicle is provided by activating the lighting function, determining a light distribution according to the lighting function, determining a perspective of a driver of the motor vehicle and controlling a projection device of the motor vehicle in such a way that the projection device outputs light according to light distribution. Topography data from an environment in a field of view of the driver and/or object data from an object in the surroundings in the field of view of the driver are acquired, and the light distribution is determined as a function of the topography data and/or object data and the perspective of the driver.

Disclosed is an optical unit wherein a rotating reflector rotates about a rotation axis in one direction, while reflecting light emitted from a light source. The rotating reflector is provided with a reflecting surface such that the light reflected by the rotating reflector, while rotating, forms a desired light distribution pattern, said light having been emitted from the light source. The light source is composed of light emitting elements. The rotation axis is provided within a plane that includes an optical axis and the light source. The rotating reflector is provided with, on the periphery of the rotation axis, a blade that functions as the reflecting surface.

An illumination device for a vehicle includes: plural light sources that are disposed so as to be lined-up in at least one line, and that illuminate light; a light-blocking member having an opening portion onto which light illuminated from the light sources is incident; and a projecting lens that emits, toward an object, light that has passed through the opening portion of the light-blocking member and has been incident on the projecting lens.

A lighting device is provided for controlling the photometric distribution of light emitted by two or more LEDs. The lighting device may be integrated with a control system of the vehicle and may be controlled by a remote controller. The lighting device may be capable of being operated in one or more modes of operation based on operating conditions, user input, or both. Operating conditions may include vehicle conditions, environmental conditions, and user conditions. The controller may operate a software application to enable the user to modify, control, or otherwise regulate any mode of operation or other feature of the lighting system.

A method of controlling headlights of an autonomous vehicle according to the present invention includes: initially driving the headlights when surrounding illumination is predetermined threshold illumination or less; detecting an object in a traveling path; sensing a light amount of the object; and adjusting brightness of the headlights in accordance with the light amount of the object, and increasing the brightness of the headlights when the light amount of the object is less than the predetermined threshold light amount. One or more of an autonomous vehicle, a user terminal, and a server of the present invention may be associated with an artificial intelligence module, a drone ((Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, UAV), a robot, an AR (Augmented Reality) device, a VR (Virtual Reality) device, a device associated with 5G services, etc.

The invention relates to a system for assisting with driving a vehicle, including at least one sensor configured to detect the presence of an object in an environment outside the vehicle, at least one camera configured to acquire images of the environment outside the vehicle and to detect the presence of the object in the environment outside the vehicle. The at least one sensor detects at least one free space in the environment outside the vehicle, the at least one camera, on the basis of the acquired images, detects at least one free space. An electronic control unit configured to select a free space found by the at least one sensor and/or the at least one camera, the electronic control unit activates the display of images in the selected free space so as to indicate a new path to be followed by the vehicle.

An adaptive lighting system for an automotive vehicle. The adaptive lighting system has a wavelength conversion device for receiving the light radiation (L) from the primary source and re-emitting white light radiation (B). An optical imaging system receives the white light (B) re-emitted by the wavelength conversion device and projects this light (B) in front of the vehicle to form a lighting beam, the wavelength conversion device being situated close to a focal plane of the optical imaging system, and the scanning system and the optical system being situated on the same side or on opposite sides of the wavelength conversion device. An intensity of the white light radiation (B) emitted by the wavelength conversion device is capable of being modulated between a minimum value and a maximum value, and the scanning is performed at variable speed.

The present invention relates to a technology for collecting map information including terrain information through a collectible open map service without actual road measurement information and generating a simulation image by processing an image reflecting a type, a terrain condition, and the like of a road.

Provided herein is a headlamp assembly comprising a housing that encloses: a sensor that acquires data associated with a surrounding environment; a light source that illuminates a field of view comprising a portion of the surrounding environment; and one or more processors that analyze the acquired data and determine a direction, field of view, power, or an intensity of the illumination of the portion based on the analyzed data.
