A LIDAR assembly is provided. The LIDAR assembly includes a LIDAR unit. The LIDAR unit includes a housing defining a cavity. The LIDAR unit further includes a plurality of emitters disposed within the cavity. Each of the plurality of emitters is configured to emit a laser beam. The LIDAR assembly further includes a switchable mirror. The switchable mirror is positioned relative to the LIDAR unit such that the switchable mirror receives a plurality of laser beams exiting the housing of the LIDAR unit. The switchable mirror is configurable in at least a reflective state to direct the plurality of laser beams along a first path and a transmissive state to direct the plurality of laser beams along a second path that is different than the first path to widen a field of view of the LIDAR unit along a first axis.
