Abstract
An interior lighting system for an autonomous motor vehicle includes at least one autonomous driving module and an interior lighting luminous device comprising a plurality of luminous sub-assemblies. Each luminous sub-assembly is configured in an interior lighting static mode or in an interior lighting dynamic mode. At least one luminous assembly is configured to pass from the static mode to the dynamic mode, and vice versa, as a function of at least one autonomous driving control parameter from said driving module.

Interior lighting system for an autonomous motor vehicle, comprising:
- at least one autonomous driving module;
- and
- an interior lighting luminous device including
- a plurality of luminous sub-assemblies, each luminous sub-assembly of the plurality of luminous sub-assemblies being configured in a static mode or in a dynamic mode, at least one luminous sub-assembly being configured to pass from the static mode to the dynamic mode, and vice versa, as a function of at least one autonomous driving control parameter from the at least one autonomous driving module and a position of the at least one luminous sub-assembly in the autonomous motor vehicle, wherein the at least one luminous sub-assembly is activated in the static mode in response to a detection of a switch to a manual driving mode and the at least one luminous sub-assembly is in a front part of a passenger compartment, and the at least one luminous sub-assembly is activated in the dynamic mode in response to a detection of an audio within the autonomous motor vehicle and the autonomous motor vehicle is in an autonomous driving mode.
Method for interior lighting of an autonomous motor vehicle, comprising:
- a step (E1) of selecting a lighting mode,
- a step (E2) of detecting an audio,
- a step (E5) of selecting a lighting zone,
- a step (E6) of collecting information on a status of the autonomous vehicle in autonomous or manual driving modes including a step (E7) of configuring one or more luminous sub-assemblies associated with the lighting zone as a function of the lighting mode, a driving mode, and a location of the lighting zone, wherein the one or more luminous sub-assemblies are activated in a static mode when the autonomous motor vehicle is in a manual driving mode and the lighting zone is in a front part of a passenger component and activated in a dynamic mode when an audio within the autonomous motor vehicle is detected and the autonomous motor vehicle is in an autonomous driving mode.
Method for interior lighting of an autonomous motor vehicle comprising:
- activating a first luminous sub-assembly in a static mode in response to detecting a switch to a manual driving mode from an autonomous driving mode;
- and
- activating a second luminous sub-assembly in a dynamic mode in response to detecting the switch when the second luminous sub-assembly is in the dynamic mode prior to the switch,
- wherein the first luminous sub-assembly is placed in a front compartment of the autonomous motor vehicle and the second luminous sub-assembly is placed in a rear compartment of the autonomous motor vehicle.
