A method for operating a circuit arrangement is provided. An illumination field has at least one first module and one second module that each comprise at least one light source and a controllable switching element. An open-loop and/or closed-loop controller for the illumination field is provided, wherein the controllable switching elements are controlled by the open-loop and/or closed-loop controller such that switch-on times and/or switch-off times are defined for each light source by the open-loop and/or closed-loop controller and such that the open-loop and/or closed-loop controller controls one and/or more controllable switching elements of the modules to close during the switch-on times and to open during the switch-off times. The switch-on times and/or switch-off times are determined based on a desired luminous intensity distribution of the individual modules or a desired overall luminous intensity distribution.

A light system includes at least one time-of-flight image sensor configured to generate at least one zone distance measurement. At least one control unit is configured to receive the at least one zone distance measurement and to generate at least one control signal based on the at least one zone distance measurement. At least one light unit is configured to adapt an output of the light unit based on the at least one control signal.

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.

Provided is a vehicle lamp unit which includes an optical system configured to form a light distribution pattern ahead of a vehicle; and a rotary light shielding member configured to block at least a part of light of a light source. The rotary light shielding member includes a spiral light shielding portion formed to change a blocked quantity of light of the light source as the rotary light shielding member rotates around a rotating axis. The light shielding portion is configured to form a plurality of light distribution patterns such that a position of a cutoff line extending in a direction crossing a horizontal direction changes in the horizontal direction. Further, the light shielding portion is configured such that a change of a position of an edge portion projected as a cutoff line becomes nonlinear in relation to a change of a rotational position of the rotary light shielding member.

A lamp of an autonomous vehicle may include at least one light emitting unit. The lamp may further include at least one processor configured to: in a first state in which the autonomous vehicle is operating in a manual driving state, control the at least one light emitting unit to emit a light into a space outside the autonomous vehicle; and in a second state in which the autonomous vehicle is transitioned from the manual driving state to an autonomous driving state, control the at least one light emitting unit to not emit a light into the space outside the autonomous vehicle.

A method for controlling headlights of a motor vehicle. The headlights are operated in a low beam mode such that a low beam distribution is emitted by the headlights. An object is detected in front of the motor vehicle during operation in the low beam mode. An automatic reduction of a light intensity distribution is triggered exclusively in a region of the low beam distribution. the size and position of which depends on a distance of the motor vehicle from the object, on a position of the object and on a width of the object.

A vehicle lamp provided in a vehicle that travels at a corner by tilting a vehicle body includes: a light source unit; a sensor configured to detect information on outside of the vehicle; and a housing that houses the light source unit and the sensor. The vehicle lamp is disposed at a central portion of the vehicle body in a left-right direction, and wherein the sensor is disposed in the housing at a central portion in the left-right direction.

A method is provided for controlling a headlamp of a motor vehicle. An object is detected by an object detecting device of the motor vehicle. An angle is determined between a geometrical longitudinal axis of the motor vehicle passing through the object detecting device and a geometrical connecting line between the object detecting device and the object. A glare reduction range of the headlamp is determined using the angle without taking into account a total distance between the object and the motor vehicle, the headlamp illuminating the glare reduction range with a lower brightness than areas adjacent to the glare reduction range.

A computer includes a processor and a memory, and the memory stores instructions executable by the processor to determine a value over time derived from a region of sensor data from an optical sensor of a host vehicle; determine that the value over time matches a stored temporal pattern; upon determining that the value over time matches the stored temporal pattern, classify an object at the region as a surface reflecting a signal from an illuminator of an origin vehicle; and actuate a component of the host vehicle based on a classification of the object at the region.
