Abstract
A LIDAR system for use in a vehicle may include at least one processor configured to control at least one light source in a manner enabling light flux of at least one light source to vary over scans of a field of view. The processor may also be configured to control at least one light deflector to deflect light from the at least one light source in order to scan the field of view. The processor may also be configured to receive input indicative of a current driving environment of the vehicle, and based on the current driving environment, coordinate the control of the at least one light source with the control of the at least one light deflector to dynamically adjust an instantaneous detection distance by varying an amount of light projected and a spatial light distribution of light across the scan of the field of view.
