Abstract

Besides low cost, automobile design will be another major factor for the mass adoption of the LiDAR in the autonomous vehicles. Extra aperture in the automobile chassis for LiDAR operation will be undesirable for automobile designers. As a result, it will be advantageous to integrate the LiDAR together with the headlight such that the chassis design of the vehicle does not have to deviate from standard practices. This paper presents optical design of integrated LiDAR and smart headlight using a single DMD such that it replaces the current headlight without impact on the overall chassis design of the vehicle. For low cost considerations, the two functions share the same DMD. Preliminary designs of such system and results will be presented.
