The described examples relate to a lighting device for a motor vehicle with multiple optical fibers and multiple further fibers, which are woven to a two-dimensional fiber fabric. The multiple further fibers may be formed as multiple further optical fibers or as multiple non-optical fibers. The fiber fabric may be formed corresponding to a developed surface of multiple sides of a preset three-dimensional body, which may be generated by cutting and by selectively separating the multiple optical fibers and the multiple further fibers that are woven with each other, at a distal cut end of the fiber fabric.

Lighting device, lighting system, and motor vehicle with lighting system

The invention relates to a reflector for a vehicle, which includes a main body having a plurality of reflection prisms arranged next to each other for each reflecting light. Each reflection prism has a reflection direction along which the reflection prism reflects the light. The main body has first reflection prisms having a first reflection direction and second reflection prisms having a second reflection direction different from the first reflection direction. The second reflection prisms form at least one symbol.

Reflector for a vehicle for displaying at least one symbol, vehicle and production method

An illumination device for a motor vehicle for displaying a linear light including a plurality of optical waveguides, an illuminating element having a plurality of light sources for coupling light into a respective first end face of the plurality of optical waveguides, and an emitting part for generating a linear light distribution, the optical waveguides being arranged with a respective second end face, which is different from the first end face, through the emitting part relative to one another along precisely one line.

Illumination device comprising a screen and optical waveguides for displaying a linear light; motor vehicle and method for operating an illumination device

A motor vehicle, comprising at least one linear lighting device for directly or indirectly lighting a vehicle interior. The at least one lighting device extends, at least in some sections, horizontally along at least one component of the motor vehicle. The motor vehicle additionally comprises a position-sensing unit for sensing ego information describing a position and an orientation of the motor vehicle. The at least one lighting device is divided horizontally into a plurality of lighting segments, each having a fixed emission profile. The motor vehicle has a control device, configured to: determine a direction of the destination in relation to the motor vehicle; select a sub-group of the plurality of lighting segments comprising at least one lighting segment to be activated; and activate the at least one lighting segment belonging to the sub-group according to lighting brightness or lighting color of the at least one lighting segment.

Motor vehicle with linear interior lighting for navigation

A motor vehicle is disclosed that includes at least one linear lighting means for directly and/or indirectly lighting a vehicle interior. A position-sensing unit senses ego information describing a position and an orientation of the motor vehicle. A control device determines, from location information describing the position of a person, and from the ego information, direction information describing a direction of the person in relation to the motor vehicle (), selects, in accordance with the direction information, a sub-group of lighting segments that includes at least one lighting segment to be activated, and activates the lighting segment belonging to the sub-group in accordance with a configuration, which specifies the lighting brightness and/or the lighting color of the lighting segment, and which visualizes the position of the person.

Motor vehicle

The disclosure relates to a motor vehicle having one or more flashing light devices for generating a turn signal light or a blinking hazard light, one or more elongated interior lighting devices for emitting visible light in a form of moving light in the interior of the motor vehicle, and a control device associated with the interior lighting devices, and the control device is configured to to control the one or more interior lighting devices such that, during the time the turn signal light or the blinking hazard light is being generated by the one or more flashing light devices, visible light in the form of a moving light will be emitted by the one or more interior lighting devices.
