Abstract

A headlight for a vehicle is described herein. The headlight includes a hybridized device and a controller. The hybridized device includes an array of light emitting devices that illuminate a roadway on which the vehicle is located when operating. The controller is electrically coupled to the hybridized device and, when operating, causes the array of light emitting devices to selectively project a patterned light on to an object on the roadway using the hybridized device and causes a camera to capture an image of the patterned light projected on the object.
