Automotive Light

An automotive light comprising a lighting assembly which is located inside the rear body, is adapted to backlight a corresponding transparent or semi-transparent sector of the front half-shell, and comprises: a pair of light-guide bars made of photoconductive material, which extend toward each other inside the rear body, while remaining both substantially grazing the front half-shell, and have their respective proximal ends adjacent and aligned to one another; and a pair of electrically-powered light sources that are located within the rear body each adjacent to the distal end of a respective light-guide bar, and are oriented so as to direct the light produced inside the body of the facing light-guide bar; the proximal ends of both light-guide bars being shaped so as to form respective plate-like heads that are locally substantially coplanar to each other and are arranged inside the rear body one spaced beside the other, so as to form/delimit therebetween a small transversal slot, which is substantially straight and is inclined with respect to the local longitudinal axis of the same light-guide bars.

Automotive directional dark area pathway illumination
11548433 · 2023-01-10 · ·

A system for illuminating an area around a motor vehicle, having: a pair of radar systems and a pair of lighting systems mounted on the motor vehicle; a vehicle level sensor configured to detect changes in pitch or roll of the motor vehicle; and an illumination control system in the motor vehicle. The illumination control system includes a key fob communication system and determines the location of a person by detecting the person approaching the motor vehicle by detecting the presence of the key fob while also detecting the location of the person with a radar system mounted on the vehicle. Next, when the location of the person has been determined, the illumination system lights up the area the person is standing while following movement of the person with the radar system to continuously re-directing the illumination towards the location on the ground where the person is standing as the person moves.
