Abstract:
Example vehicle includes a first headlight and a second headlight. The second headlight includes a laser configured to produce first light and an illumination source configured to produce second light. The second headlight also includes a spatial light modulator (SLM) optically coupled to the illumination source and a controller coupled to the SLM. The controller is configured to control the SLM to direct a reflection of the first light during a first operating mode and control the SLM to direct the second light during a second operating mode.
