LIGHT SYSTEMS FOR VEHICLES

Aspects of the disclosure relate to light output that can include light that is outside the visible spectrum to enhance a driver's awareness of the environment. Such light can be output, and reflections thereof can be captured to perform object detection. Outputs can be provided by a display or other output device of the vehicle to supplement and enhance the view of the environment. Such light output and detection can be provided with or in the absence of light that is within the visible spectrum, thereby allowing the driver and/or an autonomous system to avoid excessive reflection of visible light. Aspects of the disclosure can help to improve illumination by a vehicle and provide additional outputs to help a driver and/or an autonomous system safely operate the vehicle.
