Abstract

Described herein are a rotatable reverse light, and a taillight. The rotatable reverse light includes a reverse light, a shaft connected to the reverse light and configured to rotate the reverse light, a motor connected to the shaft to rotate the reverse light about a longitudinal axis of the shaft to orient the reverse light to a desired position, and a reverse light controller. The controller is configured to receive a driving mode of a vehicle, in response to a parking mode of the vehicle, receive a rotation input related to the desired position, generate a rotation signal based on the rotation input, and transmit the rotation signal to the motor to orient the reverse light to the desired position.
