A laser head lamp for a vehicle includes: a plurality of lamp modules each comprising a laser diode and configured to output at least one of a low beam or a high beam; at least one processor; and a computer-readable medium coupled to the at least one processor having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform operations comprising: acquiring total operation time of each of the plurality of lamp modules; and controlling, based on the acquired total operation times, at least one first lamp module among the plurality of lamp modules differently from at least one second lamp module among the plurality of lamp modules.

An illuminating device, a method and a computer program product to control an illuminating device for a vehicle which illuminates the surroundings of a vehicle are provided. The illuminating device has multiple illuminating elements which can emit an independent dimmable or switchable luminous flux at a respective solid angle, and thus each illuminates a respective area of the surroundings with an illuminance. The illuminance is adjusted depending on the distance of the area from the illuminating element or the illuminating device.

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the apparatus for controlling high lamp in a vehicle includes a camera photographing a subject in front of the vehicle, a brightness measurer measuring brightness from an image of the subject in front of the vehicle photographed by the camera, and a controller controlling the high lamp using a brightness data measured by the brightness measurer.

An external display lighting apparatus of a vehicle, may include a light source emitting light; a scanning mirror reflecting the light emitted from the light source to change a traveling path of the light and configured to rotate by a predetermined angle to scan an image of reflected light; and a reflector provided such that the light reflected by the scanning mirror is incident thereupon and the incident light is reflected off a road surface, the reflector being configured to be rotatable such that the light is projected onto the road surface around the vehicle.

The invention relates to a headlight for a motor vehicle having a plurality of main light modules configured to produce a main light distribution for low beam and high beam. The headlight also has a laser light module comprised of one or more laser diodes configured to produce a laser light distribution in addition to the main light distribution. The headlight is configured such that, during operation, the laser light distribution is movable in a manner decoupled from the main light distribution and relative to the main light distribution.

Systems, methods, tangible non-transitory computer-readable media, and devices for operating an autonomous vehicle are provided. For example, a method can include receiving sensor data based at least in part on sensor outputs from sensors of an autonomous vehicle. The sensor outputs can be based at least in part on a state of the autonomous vehicle and an environment including one or more objects. A plurality of spatial relations can be determined based on the sensor data. The plurality of spatial relations can include the position of the autonomous vehicle with respect to the one or more objects. A headlight configuration for headlights of the autonomous vehicle can be determined, based on the plurality of spatial relations. The headlight configuration can specify headlight states for each of the headlights. A set of the one or more headlights can be activated, based on the headlight configuration.

A media module may include a module gear unit rotatably installed in a vehicle body; a reflection plate connected to the module gear unit; a light-emitting device disposed to face a reflection surface of the reflection plate; and a speaker disposed to face the reflection surface of the reflection plate, wherein light generated by the light-emitting device is incident toward the reflection plate, and a sound generated by the speaker is incident toward the reflection plate.

Light module for a motor vehicle light including a light source, projection unit, deflection unit, and control unit. The light source is designed to receive a light control signal (LCS) and emit spatially modulated light (SML) as a function of the LCS. The projection unit is designed to project the SML emitted by the light source within a projection angular range (PAR) in front of the light module. The deflection unit is designed to receive a deflection control signal (DCS) and manipulate the SML emitted by the light source as a function of the DCS such that the projection of the SML emitted by the light source can be displaced in front of the light module with a displacement angle within the PAR. The control unit is designed to receive and evaluate an input signal and to transmit the LCS to the light source based on said evaluation.

A laser head lamp for a vehicle includes: a plurality of lamp modules each comprising a laser diode and configured to output at least one of a low beam or a high beam; at least one processor; and a computer-readable medium coupled to the at least one processor having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform operations comprising: acquiring total operation time of each of the plurality of lamp modules; and controlling, based on the acquired total operation times, at least one first lamp module among the plurality of lamp modules differently from at least one second lamp module among the plurality of lamp modules.

A motor vehicle headlight and method for operating the headlight is disclosed, wherein the headlight is operated in a main beam mode or in a partial main beam node. A light distribution of the main beam of the headlight is adapted as a function of a course of a road which is being traveled along by the motor vehicle. In addition, a motor vehicle headlight is described.
