Light engines with dynamically controllable light distribution

A vehicle interior lighting system comprising:

• a light engine comprising:
• a plurality of independently addressable light emitting diode (LED) segments, each LED segment comprising a plurality of LEDs;
• a flexible printed circuit board (PCB) having a plurality of legs, each leg supporting an independently addressable LED segment;
• a sensor system;
• a processor configured to receive a first input from the sensor system;
• and
• a controller configured to modify at least one light characteristic of at least one of the plurality of independently addressable LED segments based on the signal.

A method comprising:

• receiving a first input from at least one of a vehicle sensing system and a vehicle communication system at a first time;
• providing a first signal based on the first input to at least one of a plurality of independently addressable LED segments;
• modifying at least one light characteristic of at least one of the plurality of independently addressable LED segments based on the first signal;
• receiving a second input from the at least one of a vehicle sensing system and the vehicle communication system at a second time;
• and
• modifying the at least one light characteristic of at least one of the plurality of independently addressable LED segments based on a second signal provided based on the second input.
