Abstract
To dynamically control power in a lidar system, a controller identifies a triggering event and provides a control signal to a light source in the lidar system adjusting the power of light pulses emitted by the light source. The triggering event includes identifying a particular type of object within a threshold distance of the lidar system. In some scenarios, the power is adjusted to address eye-safety concerns.
